Skylight 2 FlexShade®

The Skylight 2 FlexShade is designed specifically for applications where a very large Skylight shade is needed. Skylight 2 is simple and elegant. A tubular gearmotor is mounted at one end of your Skylight 2 FlexShade, connected to the opposite end by steel fabric support cables. Fabric is driven by the motor and draw cables. The included Spring Assist cassette helps provide maximum tension.

Skylight 2 can be installed in several orientations: incline-up, incline-down, vertical-up, vertical-down, or horizontal.
