  • Columbia motorized skylights feature low profile design, decorative cover and quiet running motor.

BLINDS & SHADES

Choose an attractive sun-screening accessory from your neighborhood window coverings specialist to give you extra control over light or direct sun.

  • Columbia requires any blind or sunshade installation to be a minimum 12 inches from the skylight frame. The blind must also allow for air passage from the base of the skylight through the blind into your home, thus preventing excessive heat build up between the blind and your skylight. (this point highlighted in yellow in a gray box, see top of ‘glazing options’ page)
  • Fashionable shades without any visible cords to fit any room are available in wide range of colors. Why settle for only white?
