The Problem
Midday sun beats straight down through skylights, creating hot spots and harsh glare.
Floors, sofas, and art under skylights fade quickly.

Skylight Window Film in Los Angeles
Natural light from above — without the midday heat.
Quick Answer
Skylights receive direct overhead sun for more hours than any wall window, so they can overheat rooms and fade furniture directly below. Solar skylight film blocks 50–80% of solar heat and 99% of UV while still letting in soft daylight. Skylight film in Los Angeles typically costs $150–$400 per skylight, depending on size and access.
Our Solution
We install heat-rejecting film on accessible skylight glass, choosing a shade that keeps the room bright.
For polycarbonate or acrylic domes, we'll advise whether film is suitable.
Why It Matters in Los Angeles
Many LA homes from the 1970s–90s have large skylights in kitchens, halls, and bathrooms.
Summer sun in LA is nearly overhead at midday, making skylights the hottest glass in the house.
