Sun screens for skylights

Why mount a sun screen with suction cups for your skylight?

A skylight provides beautiful natural daylight, but on sunny days it can quickly turn the room beneath into a greenhouse. Because of the large and often slanted glass surface, the space below can heat up rapidly. Good sun shading for your skylight is therefore not a luxury but a necessity.

Traditional solutions are often expensive, require permanent structures, or are difficult to install on sloping glass. With a suction cup screen you mount the sun screen directly onto the glass, without drilling, rails or structural changes.

This keeps heat effectively outside while preserving natural daylight and your view outside.

This is why you choose for sun screens with suction cups for your skylight:

  • Specifically designed for slanted and angled skylights
  • Custom made screens suitable for any window shape
  • Installation possible on the inside or outside of the glass
  • Attached with suction cups so no permanent installation
  • 10 to 15 times cheaper than traditional sun shading solutions

The benefits of sun screens with
suction cups for your skylight

A skylight defines the atmosphere in your home, but it can also cause overheating and glare. By using suction cup sun screens you maintain natural daylight while controlling heat and bright sunlight. Your living space stays comfortable without permanent changes to your home.

Our screens are specially designed for installation on flat glass, including sloping surfaces. Thanks to custom production they fit your skylight perfectly while maintaining a clean and minimal appearance.

  • Blocks up to 97% of heat when mounted outside
  • Reduces intense sunlight without fully darkening the room
  • Maintains daylight and outside views
  • Easy to install and remove yourself
  • Resistant to UV radiation and weather conditions
  • Custom made for every skylight

Measuring your skylight for a Sun Eclipse screen

A skylight requires a custom solution. We can produce almost any shape. In most cases we recommend one screen for the entire skylight. This provides maximum heat reduction, a clean appearance and fewer mounting points.

For skylights, only the colour White is available in the Maximum Sunblock variant. When mounted outside this combination blocks up to 97% of heat and is therefore the most effective solution for large glass surfaces such as skylights.

This is how you measure correctly:

  1. Go to www.suneclipse.de/order/en
  2. Select ‘custom size’ at step 3
  3. Enter the largest width and the largest height

 

If you have any doubts or questions, you can always contact customer service. They are happy to assist you.

Upload a sketch and photo:
After entering the measurements you can upload files. Please include:

  • A clear sketch with all measurements
  • A photo of the entire skylight

Based on this information we create a technical drawing in which the suction cups are positioned exactly on the glass. This drawing is always confirmed with you first. Only after your approval will the screen go into production.

This ensures a perfectly fitting Sun Eclipse screen with maximum heat protection.

Should you install sun screens for your skylight on the outside or inside?

For skylights, screens can be installed on either the outside or the inside of the glass. The best option depends on your situation and accessibility.

Which colour and screen type should you choose for a skylight?

With skylights the sun often shines directly on the glass, especially with sloping constructions. That is why we recommend Maximum Sunblock in the colour White as standard, both for interior and exterior installation.

White reflects sunlight optimally and prevents heat from transferring into the room. This gives you the maximum benefit from your skylight sun screen and keeps the indoor temperature noticeably cooler.

This is how you install sun screens on your skylight

Both interior and exterior screens are easy to install yourself. No complex installation, no permanent changes and no professional installer required. Depending on accessibility you can choose installation on the inside or outside of the glass.

The screens are attached quickly and securely directly onto the flat glass using our strong vacuum suction cups. Within minutes you create effective heat protection without drilling, screws or damage to frames.

Installation in short:

  1. Clean the window and suction cups
  2. Place the screen and tighten the suction cups
  3. Enjoy a cool and comfortable home all season long

 

Removing the screens is just as easy. Store the sun screens clean and dry so they can easily be reinstalled next spring.

This is why you choose Sun Eclipse:

  • Only needs cleaning once per year

Frequently asked questions

At Sun Eclipse, we continually strive to provide our customers with the best possible support. For this reason, we have collected and answered the most common questions in our FAQ. This way, you can easily find answers to all your questions.

Go to FAQ
  • Do Sun Eclipse screens stay put during strong winds?

    Sun Eclipse screens and suction cups stay put even during a spring storm. Our screens catch little wind because they are close to the windows and the suction cups are designed to last.

  • Do the screens fade after a few years?

    No, the screens are UV-resistant and hardly fade. Both the fabric and the suction cups are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without noticeable loss of quality or appearance.

    Thanks to a special coating, the colors stay vibrant for longer and dirt hardly adheres to the surface.

    In practice, the screens remain in excellent condition season after season, especially if you clean them once a year and store them clean and dry after the season. This way, they last for many years with minimal fading.

  • Do the suction cups leave marks on my window?

    No, the suction cups do not leave any permanent marks or damage on the glass. They attach using a strong vacuum to the smooth surface, without any adhesives or chemicals. After removal, you may occasionally notice a light residue, for example from dust or condensation. This can be easily cleaned with the Sun Eclipse Cleaner and a clean cloth.

  • What does excess fabric mean?

    Because Sun Eclipse screens are placed 2 cm from the window’s surface, the screens are supplied with 1.5 cm excess fabric on each side (3 cm per width and height). As a result, the screens close properly and no heat and light can pass through the edges.

    You can also opt for no excess fabric, for instance, if you have high square upright edges on your window frames. In this case, choose under ‘which type of frame do you have’ the option ‘Deep and angled’ when you order.

    You can request any other changes in the order option. This way you can create a custom sunshade.

  • Do you also provide measuring and installation services?

    Sun Eclipse is an affordable solution to keep your home cool. That’s why we operate online only. By letting customers handle the simple measuring and installation themselves, we keep costs, and therefore our prices as low as possible.

  • Can I request a quote?
