Sky light shade

Where is a good place to get a Shade for a Kitchen sky light. This not the vent it is bigger.
  • I could suggest a foam rubber cover cut to fit by you. Helps insulate in winders too.
  • Made our own for our trip to Alaska from material purchased at Walmarts and velcro. Our shower skylight was just outside our bed room and the long long days required the shade.

    If you look in auto accessories section at any decent department store, I.e. Wally World, they sell temporary window tint sheets that are just cling film.

    I use some on the skylight in my shower which is in my bedroom. It works well.

    Anyone bought from Steves blinds and wallpaper they have them for $52.

    What Steve's has looks very similar to what I have in my RV. The only difference is that mine has the strings on the outside edge, and not through the pleats. But it looks like it should work.
  • Heavy aluminum foil taped to a heavy card stock frame and velcroed in a few spot to hold it in place.

    My daughter's Jayco has one but I tell what brand.
  • I cut a piece of pillow foam that I found at a thrift store to fit the bathroom skylight..works for me!
  • I have a pleated shade (like on the windows) that slides open and shut on strings. Just screws in at each end of the skylight opening. Says "United Shade Co. 574-262-0954" Maybe call or search the net.
