Skylight shades in Manhattan.

Skylight shades for Manhattan homes

Manhattan has prewar co-ops with tall double-hung windows and radiators below, glass condo towers with floor-to-ceiling windows, and SoHo and Tribeca lofts with oversized industrial windows. Skylight shades run in tracks on overhead glass, usually motorized since skylights are out of reach.

What matters in Manhattan

Sun and glare

South- and west-facing glass gets strong afternoon sun, while lower floors on narrow streets may see little direct light at all.

Tall and hard-to-reach windows

Ceilings of ten feet or more, corner windows and walls of glass are common, especially in new towers and lofts.

Warmth in winter

Older prewar windows can be drafty in winter, and radiators sit right under many of them.

Light at night

Streetlights, signs and lit neighboring windows keep many Manhattan bedrooms bright all night.

Measured and installed in Manhattan

Most buildings require a certificate of insurance, freight elevator booking and set work hours. We handle all three, and plan around co-op and condo alteration rules. Every window is measured in person, so everything fits exactly.
