Home > Benefits > Skylight Blinds Having bought my mobile home in March partly because of all the available daylight from three skylight in the kitchen, the hot spell this July-August here in northern BC had me recalling wishfully recalling my father's design for blinds to block/reflect light out of the room's interior and cool off the place. This design reduced the temperature in my living space by 3oC. At first I tried to find a cheap solution online. Most shades or blinds for skylights run in the $100's. Some require assembly on the roof and have to be put up and taken down. Recalling dad's design, I would only need a broom handle to slide the blinds over or off the lites. Now that the weather has cooled significantly (and the forest fires too) I have the blinds drawn back. Note: I'm borrowing from my window and door sales experience in this 'ible. I call each "window" in my skylight a "lite."Step 1: Tools & MaterialsShow All Items I coughed up the $20 for new doweling because of the pressing need to reduce the temperature in my trailer, but I did find a used tablecloth in the Salvation Army thrift store for $4.95.

Total cost about $30 with enough doweling left over to make a fourth blind. Price will vary with the size of the lites and how much salvage you can scrounge. Small diameter doweling per lite (costs about 85¢ per foot for hemlock, sold in 8' lengths) Old tablecloth or sheet (white to reflect light) with enough fabric to cover each lite (thread count up to you) Small nails or screws (3 per dowel) Fabric glueTools (few and simple): Drill & small drill bit Scissors suitable for cutting cloth Straight edge (optional)« PreviousNext »View All Steps Download Total blackout plus optimal heat protection.
