FAQs
How does the honeycomb design compare to traditional skylight covers?
Graywind's selected honeycomb structure provides 3x better insulation than flat covers, with air pockets that create a thermal barrier. The aluminum coating adds reflective properties unmatched by standard materials.
What maintenance do the solar-powered components require?
The system is virtually maintenance-free. We recommend simply wiping the solar panel with a damp cloth every 6 months to maintain peak efficiency. All moving parts are sealed against dust and require no lubrication.
How much do skylight shades cost?
The cost of skylight shades depends on window size, type of control option you select, as well as any optional enhancements you want.
