Skylight Shades & Blinds

Velux Skylight shades and blinds are the perfect way to provide shade to an area during the sunnier parts of the day. All skylight shades purchased in conjunction with a new skylight will come preinstalled. Adding solar powered shades to any type of skylight qualifies for the federal solar tax credit.

Ordering Your Skylight Shades is Easy...

If you are purchasing shades and a new skylight simultaneously you can order shades as an upgrade to any residential skylight. If you are purchasing shades for an existing skylight, follow these simple steps:

  1. Locate the product ID tag on your skylights.
  2. The first set of letters is your model, the next set of identifiers in the sequence contain your model size.
  3. Once you’ve identified all models and model sizes needed, place your order!

All of the shades offered are solar powered and can be operated remotely with the included remote control or via the Velux ACTIVE smart skylight phone app (ACTIVE starter kit not included). Choose from light filtering shades or room darkening blinds. Call for custom colors and sizes.
