4 Skyco Shading Solutions that Will Enhance Your Lifestyle

1. Roller Shades and Specialty Shades for Your Interior by Skyco featuring Somfy Motorization

Skyco offers motorized and manual roller shades with all of the popular designer shade fabrics.  We are proud to deliver our standard solutions for typical windows and conditions, but we excel when the shading application gets challenging.  No matter what type of window we are covering, when it requires motorization, Skyco relies on Somfy for consistent quality and a wide range of motors, controls, and components.As architects pursue their art, they push fabricators like Skyco to cover challenging shading conditions, skylights, and odd shaped windows.  Skyco gladly rises to their challenge to take a Somfy motor and make it do amazing things.  As shown in the picture, for angled ceilings, one motor operates a shade box out of a hidden ceiling pocket and then triggers another motor to operate the shade, all at the touch of a button.  When the shades are open the motor and mechanism are concealed in the ceiling.  That is the magic of Skyco and Somfy working together.

4. Exterior Shade Structures by Skyco

Outdoor living is essential for our health, but the outdoor elements can counteract comfort.  A Renson structure by Skyco can shield you from sun, wind, rain, and flying pests, essentially making the outdoors as comfortable as the indoors.  The operable louvered roof can open for air or sun, but also gutters away any rainfall keeping occupants and furniture dry.  The Algarve is the most popular structure with options motorized screens, with or without clear windows.  The Camargue structure hides the motorized shades in the structure beams and offers more enclosure options like sliding panels and glass doors.  Options for either structure include heaters, speakers, lighting, and clear glass skylight louvers. The Lagune structure offers the most flexibility since the roof retracts completely when open, but when closed it seals out rain, wind, sun, and bugs.Watch this video on Skyco outdoor shading solutions featuring The Algarve, The Camargue and The Lagune.
