Easy to Install
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Easy Snap was very easy to install and cut to my sky lights. The only problem was finding instructions which was not included.

I used my phone to select the install image which sent me to an RV image. I thought that was poor for this company.

Thanks,
Ted

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your feedback Ted. Sorry the instructions were not included with your kit. Normally, the instructions are sealed in the bag with the parts. We also have instructions online here: https://ezsnapdirect.com/how-to-install-shades/

Love Them
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Covers

made the sunroom usable in July and August
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

EZ Snap Skylight Shade Review Photo from Alana C Sunroom

I initially purchased just one dome cover, but liked the result so ordered a second cover.

These are very large domes and would allow the sunroom to reach temps over 100 degrees on days. Often the difference would be 12-20 degrees higher inside than outside.

Now the difference between inside & outside temps is 3-10 degrees.

I love the difference the dome covers have made. They have made the sunroom usable in July and August.

EZ Snap® Team - Glad to hear EZ Snap is keeping your living room cooler Alana. Thanks for the review and photo.

I am soooo happy with my purchase!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Cover

I just want to get the word out about how much cooler my house is since putting up EZ Snap skylight covers a few weeks ago.

I had searched the internet for 2 years, but didn't see anything worth buying. I am soooo happy with my purchase!

The Calculator Was Useful
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Cover

Hi Troy and EZ Snap sales team, I just placed an order on the website for the 7' skylight shade kit.

The website's calculator feature was useful in figuring out the number of extra snaps I need for the two skylights I am planning to cover.

I hope you're having a great summer, and I'm looking forward to using the EZ Snap shades!

Best regards,
Andrew

EZ Snap® Team - Happy to help... thanks for the positive feedback!

EZ Snap Skylight Shade Review Photo from M Peters

My EZ Snap Shade Screen was simple to cut and install.

It has noticeably darkened the space below my skylight (good for summer). It has not had the profound effect on the temperature of the space as mentioned in some other reviews, but seems to be keeping it about 1 degree cooler on sunny days.

If I'm able to remove it for winter, when that time comes, and successfully reuse it next summer, the product will get 5 stars from me.

EZ Snap Skylight Shade Review Photos from Glenn G

Love it! Easy to install, easy to understand instructions and works fantastic!

Before we felt like we had a huge heater in our kitchen because of the skylight! Now, we have a nice subtle light coming in without the heat!

Great, easy solution to our problem!

I am 65 and easily got up on the roof and installed it myself in less than an hour.

Excellent Product
EZ Snap Product: skylight cover

Our skylight location always made our bathroom extremely hot during the summer months. We wanted something affordable to add shade to the bathroom.

EZ Snap Skylight Shade was a great alternative and easy to install. Plus we like that we can remove the shade during the winter months and enjoy the warmth that it gives.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your review. Great to hear EZ Snap is keeping you cooler!

EZ Snap Product: Skylight shade fabric and hardware

This is the second time I have used your shade fabric to cover my skylights.

The first was 5-6 years ago but I needed a new roof so replaced my skylights. The fabric that had been on was still in really good shape but slightly different skylights precluded being able to reuse it.

So, your fabric is very durable…and I leave mine on year round.

As for the shading benefit it’s awesome. Cuts the light and heat transmission but still provides great visibility.

Installation is quite easy, no real expertise required, just follow the instructions and you can’t go wrong. In summary your fabric performs great, it stands up to heat and cold and lasts, and the installation is easy. Couldn’t be happier with it.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the repeat business... and your positive review. Great to hear that you are happy with the EZ Snap shades.

Skylight Shades
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shade Kit

Every summer the sun would come in through our skylights. I priced out automated indoor shades but the cost was around $3k. I also did not like the way the new hardware would remove some of the beauty of the skylights.

I do not know why we waited so long to order this product. After careful measuring that included a 10% margin of error I was excited for the kit to arrive.

This was my project and I wanted to take it from start to finish. I cut to size our 3 skylight shades and headed to the roof. Because of the additional 10% margin measurement it allowed me to fold over similar to a lid.

They are not only effective, they are pleasing to the eye from the street and indoors. The screens have decreased the temperature in our home and so happy we finally made the purchase.

I think my husband is the happiest customer because he did not have to participate in this home project 🙂

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your kind words. Great to hear EZ Snap is keeping you and your husband cooler!

Way beyond easy...
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Covers

EZ doesn't even come close. It was way beyond easy to install the Skylight covers.

Put the fasteners on one day and installed the covers the next. The tools provided with the kit made it even easier than expected.

They look professional and has made a huge difference on the inside temperature already and still allows the light to come through.

EZ Snap® Team - Great to hear... Thanks for the positive review!

EZ Snap Product: Skylight shades

I’ve had EZ Snap shade fabric on seven skylights for some 6 years and it’s been absolutely amazing. Without it the living area of the home we have is a solarium, too bright, hard to cool on bright summer days and had issues of sun fading furniture/floor.

We recently had to have the roof replaced as it was 35 years old and as the skylights were as well so I thought it best to replace them at the same time. The EZ Snap fabric on the old ones could have been reused had the dimensions of the new skylight frames been not just a bit different. The old fabric was still in great shape….and I leave it on year round.

I couldn’t wait to get the new ones covered and just did over the last two mornings. I put the adhesion mounting hardware on one day letting it “set up” and put the cloth on this morning.

It couldn’t be an easier job. It’s simple to cut after determining your sizes and simple to attach. I never had any failure or problem with the mounting discs giving it up on the old set over 6 years. It really is just the ticket to cutting down bright sun and heat but still having adequate light and still a nice view of the sky.

Couple tips…

Pins, the part of the mounting clip that presses on to the stud that attaches to the skylight requires a bit of force to clip into place. Take a piece of 5/ 8 or 3/4” dowel about 8” long and drill a hole in the center a bit larger than the peg part and a bit deeper. Slip the peg part in that hole and set it against the part it snaps in to and push. Makes it much easier.

Take the time to clean the frame with the alcohol solution and do use the little primer pens. The primer pens I wasn’t sure of and almost passed on having not used them on my first set but it’s not just an alcohol filled applicator, it’s truly something a bit sticky and I can see where it would enhance the adhesion. So for a few extra bucks I’d say definitely get them.

Saw another review that said scissors wouldn’t cut it….I used a decent pair of scissors and had no problem at all. It does come with a tool to remove the screen using one end and cut it using the other however. I just used scissors though.

Truly this is a great product and as stated I’ve used it for six years , year round and it and the holder hardware lasts.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your review and useful tips.

Reduced Kitchen Temperature
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Your product was relatively easy for this octogenarian to install on two skylights and proved effective in reducing the sun's glare and reducing the temperature particularly in our kitchen.

The screens went on as advertised and I took photos that will be sent to you in late September when the screens are removed.

If removal is as easy as installation, I will give you guys a full-throated endorsement for whatever that is worth.

Great Product!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight shade kits

We have six 6' x 4' glass skylights. They are tinted, but let in lots of sunlight.

The shade kits we purchased in 2017 have been a godsend. They also reduced the electric bill by about $100 a month.

We hoped they would last a year, and now we're going on five years in the Florida sun. Definitely a great product!

Skylight Shade Review Photos from Dorothy W Inside View

Dear EZ Snap Team,

In response to your EZ SNAP Reviews, here is my testimonial. Hope it is one of your winners.

I have now finished installing the Shade Mesh on these “banks” of skylights on my townhouse unit and the results were instantaneous! Especially in the foyer with the double set of windows (see photos) where the sun just hammers down through the glass and quickly raises the temp inside. It is so intense when the sun is out full blast during the summer that it heats up the tile floor!

The first afternoon after we had installed it, the sun was heating up quickly but the relief was instant walking into the foyer. It was as if there was an umbrella over the skylights as everything was cool - including the tile floor. The area remains lovely and bright but what a relief not to feel the increasing heat filtering through. It’s wonderful to still be able to look up and see the clouds moving by.

I LOVE IT! I have tried to avoid putting in air conditioning because I hate having to keep doors and windows closed completely. So this is perfect for me. If it is hot during the day I keep fans on to move the air and it works great.

The simplicity of the system is awesome. Living in a Strata Complex we have to be very careful to not break any outer seals on exterior walls or roof area so the application of the studs to the vinyl is perfect. Also not having to remove it for winter and yet, if I should need to access any of the windows for broken seals or whatever, it is so easy to remove.

If you want to send me some brochures, I’ll pass them out to people who have been dealing with the same issues that I have. The Block the Heat and Not the View is a great one also the Exterior shade install tips.

I also want to comment on how well written the instructions were. Clear, concise simple yet fully explained.

Needless to say, I’m a very satisfied customer.

EZ snap was very easy to install on my 3 skylights.

It definitely takes the temperature of my house down by at least a few degrees on hot sunny days.

Stops Melted Siding
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Great items. They have prevented the vinyl siding from heat damage when all other items failed.

I also convinced my next door neighbor to install them and I completed the install about 2 weeks ago.

Siding is only 3 years old and skylight reflects against the house damaging siding. Repaired 3 times and coated the skylights twice with defective film.

New covers did the trick
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Skylight Shade Review Photo from Mark Bailey

We recently had our house reroofed and in doing so they changed out the skylights. Originally, we had opaque covers, but the new covers were only tinted. They let in too much light and heat.

I purchased the EZ Snap covers to go over these two skylights and lo and behold, the new covers did the trick. We can now stay in the family during the middle of the afternoon, the room does not heat up as much and we can still see the sky/trees through the new EZ Snap materials.

I used the adhesive snap bases and they were pretty easy to install, and mounting the covers and snaps to the bases only took about an hour.

exceeded all our expectations!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

The instructions were easy to follow.

You included everything necessary to install the Skylight covers and the tool to cut the material you sent in the kit worked marvelously. We had enough material to attach the covers and then trim them.

We chose the white to reflect the hot desert heat we get at times here in western Texas and they look great.

We had material leftover to cover the bathroom window above the garden tub and the small adjacent window between the tub and the walk-in shower. Both of which have a western exposure on the alley entrance to garage. There is not a view and covering these windows also provides some additional privacy, so the use of the extra material was a win-win for us.

And now, several days later we can not only feel the difference too but document it! The air conditioner has been set at the same schedule and the daily external temperatures have been higher than the same period of days prior to installing the skylight shades and the air conditioner history shows that it used more electricity in the days immediately prior to the shades being installed!

We had hoped EZ Snap would make a difference. It exceeded all our expectations!

very happy
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Hello,

I'm very happy with the EZ Snap 3M adhesive fasteners.

I used them to install a sunscreen over my patio over 10 years ago. They made installation easy and the sunscreen installation lasted until a recent wind storm pulled some of the fasteners loose.

I bought additional fasteners to re-secure the sunscreen and they made for a very easy repair.

I'm very happy with the fasteners and the customer service.

Thank you EZ Snap
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I purchased EZ Snap to cover two 4’ x 4’ skylights.

I simply could not be happier with the kit. EZ Snap includes everything you need; screening , snaps, primer stick. But the best part of the kit was the special cutting tool! The tool made it “a snap” to make straight, precise cuts.

Because the screening material is so tough, scissors just won’t do the job. The cutting tool is the key.

Thank you, EZ Snap, for thinking of everything!

Pat

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the compliments Pat. We appreciate the positive review.

EZ Snap Screen lives up to it’s Name!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We purchased EZ Snap for our skylights to decrease the direct and harmful sunlight that shines on our new Hardwood Flooring! It does exactly that, it while still allowing plenty of daylight into our Family Room!

EZ Snap also has taken away the reflection of the sunlight on our Vinyl Siding. The heat from the reflection actually melted our Vinyl Siding before we installed the EZ snap Screens. Now there is no reflection with the screening installed.

EZ Snap installs so easy and the price is excellent. I highly recommend their line of products! I will be ordering additional EZ Snap Screening for our Glass Sliders in the Family Room to minimize the damaging rays of the sun on our Hardwood Floors and to reduce the heat that builds up in the room during the summer.

We love the openness of not using Blinds or curtains and EZ Snap will allow us to enjoy all of the natural light while protecting the hardwood floors and keeping the room cool during the summer heat.

The Customer Service staff are very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Thank You!

One of the best things ever.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Our skylights always made our home way too hot.

We didn't suffer so much during the heatwave.

I thought maybe it would make it dark in here but it didn't.

The only bad thing is the crows like to sit on it.

Get your EZSnap on ladies!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I ordered my EZ Snap skylight cover for several reasons including heat reduction and light reduction. It has worked out so well, my energy bills are much lower and I'm not concerned with my furniture fading in the sunlight. I have a very clear view through the mesh.

Installation was a snap. Directions are easy to follow. I am very happy with all aspects of EZ Snap products.

As a woman getting on my roof was the hardest part, and it was so worth the ladder time. And I get to say I did it myself!

Get your EZSnap on ladies!

Thank you EZ Snap!!

cooled the house by about 5-10 degrees
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

My three dome shaped skylights are throwing so much light and to the point of unbearable heat.

I searched for a longtime and finally a window film installer tipped me off to Google search under skylight mesh. I found EZ Snap!

It is supposed to be a DIY job. There is no way I’ll get up on the two story rooftop to measure, let alone install it.

I hired a roofer to measure, then ordered online. It came quickly. He came back to install them.

They are dome shaped and difficult to get a totally smooth fit but they look great and shade well and we still can see blue skies.

They cooled the house by about 5-10 degrees.

I love ❤️ it!

Frame Mounting Surface
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Two and a half stars.

I’m sorry, but your website should have said that your skylight frame needs to be unpainted or coated to use the ez snaps. I didn’t think about this when ordering and now I have a $200 screen I can’t use. Very very disappointing.

It’s even worse as your product and your return policy doesn’t really make it worth it to return it (it will cost at least $50 to ship back minus the 25% of the value).

Please add the caveat about unpainted / coated frames to your website so others don’t feel scammed and disappointed.

John

EZ Snap® Team - Sorry to hear about this John. We do our best to make the website product info and instructions as clear as we can. 3M Adhesive can be installed on most surfaces, as long at it is minimum 1 inch wide, smooth, flat, and clean. Some customers install the 3M Adhesive directly onto the skylight lens, when necessary.

Happy customer
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Absolutely outstanding product! Shipping and packaging were perfect.

I just finished installing the last two of my four skylight shades (it was much easier on my roof after dark due to 100+ degree weather during the day).

Since I already had a chance to view the first two during the day today, I'm more than impressed. I could physically feel the difference in sunbeam heat comparing the two shaded skylights to the uncovered ones.

Since my skylights are over 20ft above standing height the visibility is almost 100% clarity, barely see the screen material at that distance.

The 3m adhesive and primer worked exceptionally well on my frames and the entire installation was both rewarding and visually pleasing.

Happy customer right here! I will be recommending your product to many friends.

Thank you, Chris

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the review and recommendations Chris!

Excellent Product
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Dear EZ Snap,

We had 4 shatterproof new skylights installed in our home recently. Great idea right? However, the sunlight and glare weren't so great.

In trying to find a solution to tone these problems down we discovered EZ Snap. Because we're familiar with the excellent qualities of shade cloth in garden settings we thought EZ Snap might be a perfect solution.

The difference is terrific! We still have plenty of beautiful sunshine but no glare and much less heat coming into the house.

My electric bill is happy and so are we. Thanks EZ Snap for making such an excellent product!

They do what they say they will do
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Hi,

I used EZSNAP coverings on 4 skylites.

They were super easy to install and have made a huge difference on temperature in my house. They are great because you can see out and they still let light in, but most of all because they do what they say they will do, and that is keep the heat out.

You can't go wrong.

My project was a commercial 5 x 10 skylight.

I would recommend the EZ Snap product.

I strongly recommend this product
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Our hallway skylight put out a lot of heat from the overhead sun. At mid-afternoon, the area around the floor below read 92 degrees, and the living room heated up to 85 degrees, with the AC running continuously.

After installation of the EZ Snap skylight cover, the hallway was as cool as the rest of the house, with the thermostat set at 75, and the AC rarely kicked on.

What a huge difference! The sunlight is still there, but without the heat!

I strongly recommend this product for any skylight or window that lets in heat.

2 large skylight shades
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I am not sure how I came upon the EZ Snap website a couple of years ago, but I am sure glad I did!

This spring I ordered a kit to cover two large skylights in our second floor home. The blistering sun would make the upstairs almost unlivable, even with central A/C.

I figured the investment wasn’t too great, the instructions on the website seemed doable, and I had a neighbor willing to go on the roof (I was temporarily unable to kneel).

The communication from EZ Snap was excellent!

My neighbor knocked the job off in a short time; the instructions and tips were extremely helpful. We did everything "by the (EZ Snap) book” and my wife and I are confident the result will be long-lasting relief from the summer sun.

Works as advertised – rooms are cooler
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

EZ Snap is as advertised – EZ!

Prior to applying the product I went on to our roof and washed our skylights and flanges. While I was there I measured the skylights with a Sewing Measuring Tape – flange edge to flange edge. I did this to get the true measurement of the skylight with the curvature included.

After that I followed directions and applied alcohol cleaning solution, using the cardboard cutout, to the areas I wanted to mount the studs (I chose ~8” apart). I let studs sit 24hrs as recommended.

The next morning I cut my shades to my measurements, took them up to the roof, applied the pins and mounted the shades. It was EZ!

Wish I had found this product a few years ago – works as advertised – rooms are cooler, we can still see out and light still comes in.

We could feel an immediate cooling
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Good Day:

We recently purchased two EZ Snap covers for our skylights.

First we only had one delivered as we wanted to see if it lived up to it’s great ratings. We were so impressed with my first installation that the second cover was ordered.

I am not a skilled trades person so for me to install them with ease is a testament to not only the product but instructions and YouTube video directions.

Prior to covering our skylights with EZ Snap the heat coming through filled our house to an uncomfortable level. We could feel an immediate cooling and are so impressed have told anyone that would listen how great they are.

EZ Snap has lived up to it’s stellar reviews and should you decide on their product will be impressed I’m sure.

Best regards

I would recommend EZ snap to everyone.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I searched for a cover for my sky light in the kitchen, and EZ snap was the best.

I am a 67 year old woman, but I climbed on my roof, cleaned the metal with alcohol, put on the plastic circles with a little glue ( recommended for high wind areas) waited 24 hours and attached the mesh. I cut the excess off after I attached it.

Very simple and I think it's made our kitchen about 15 degrees cooler.

I would recommend EZ snap to everyone.

Keep the heat out while still allowing light in!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Our home has a skylight in the upstairs hallway. In the summer, that hallway is ridiculously warm. When you would walk out of the bedrooms you could instantly feel the heat radiating down from the skylight.

I bought a skylight sun shade kit and installed it over two days. It was very simple and easy to install. One of the best decisions we have ever made. Not sure why we waited until the third summer in this home to do it.

I cannot begin to describe how drastically the temperature has dropped in the hallway. When walking from the bedrooms into the hallway now, there is no temperature change. It has to be 10-15 degrees cooler than it used to be. Helps keep the whole upstairs cooler.

We love this product, and would highly recommend it to anyone! It will keep the heat out while also still allowing light in!

Now that the critical skylights have been covered I do indeed feel a difference.

I am also very happy with the light that comes in and that I can see through them.

The installation was very easy after the cleaning and prep work.

I wish I’d done this years ago. My air conditioning is out until August so this will help immensely right now.

Thank you for your patience in answering my questions.

I highly recommend your product.

Room is about 5 degrees cooler than before.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Instructions were easy to follow.

I installed the fabric on a skylight on our pitched roof. I put the snaps (anchors) on the sides of the skylight about 5" apart, with just a little of the fabric beyond the snaps.

We have had some high winds since I installed it, but it held just fine.

It lets in plenty of light and temperature in the room is about 5 degrees cooler than before.

My family lives in Sammamish, Washington, just a bridge away from Seattle. Yeah, that Seattle. Rainy, cloudy Seattle. No one owns an A/C, Seattle and if you do, it probably doesn’t work well.

Yet when we do have sun, and it's more than you think (we don’t share that to keep people away) the three skylights on my roof not only makes the upstairs smoking hot, but it is also ruining the stairway carpet.

We began looking for a solution to provide some sort of shade that could be done both easily and cheaply. We came across EZ Snap. Wow… EZ SNAP really did make it easy on both ordering and installing.

As a guy who is better with building websites than building projects around the house, I was really impressed with the simplicity and brilliance of your website. I am not a handyman so I was pretty intimidated. But, the step-by-step process was so clear and easy that even I could and did succeed.

So, thank you EZ SNAP for helping me to measure, purchase and install the shades on my house.

We are thankful for all you do to make it so easy for anyone to succeed in cooling the house and lengthening the life of our carpet.

Sincerely,
Steve

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your kind words Steve. Nice to know that we are keeping you cooler in rainy (and sunny) Sammamish!

Noticed a big difference
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We haven’t had our skylight EZ Snap very long but we noticed a big difference before we had the heat wave come.

Upper 100 degrees for 6 or 7 days. Thank God I ordered them on time because we have 4 skylights in our bedroom!!

It was still very hot but not as hot with out them.

Much cheaper than custom made shades!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Hi,

We installed them on skylights.

They have definitely cut down on heat, and yet the light comes through.

It is early, but I think they were a good decision.

Much cheaper than custom made shades!

the skylight cover was easy to install
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Cover

I am 67 years old, and except climbing a 15 ft extension ladder to the roof, the skylight cover was easy to install.

I waited 24 hours to install the mesh, my thumbs are sore from pushing the first part of the pin on, but it came out great, and already the kitchen is cooler, but we can still see the sky.

I am sure it's going to last for years, because I don't want to climb on the roof again.

Thank you for inventing this product. I will recommend this to my friends and neighbors.

I live in New Mexico, and when I installed it this morning, it was already 80 degrees at 8:00 am.

Thanks again, Wendy Torchetti

EZ Snap® Team - Nice work! Thanks for the positive review... and for telling your family and friends in New Mexico about EZ Snap shades.

Amazing Product
EZ Snap Product: Exterior Skylight Shade Kit

Fabulous product at a very fair price. Easy to install even for those with no skills like myself.

One thing I would do differently; Measure and mark all stud locations on each skylight before opening the primer pen. I did one side at a time and by the time I put primer on the last side the primer was pretty low/dry. Good thing I had another pen.

Thanks for a great product!

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks Barry... nice to hear that EZ Snap worked for you.

Big THANK YOU

Wanted to say a big THANK YOU.

I've installed the screen on my home skylights in our family room and it has made an enormous difference!

This week it has been over 106 degrees and the house is so much cooler with the air conditioner working about half of what it did just weeks ago at lower temps.

You have a great product and I'm so glad I found you before going with another approach. I'm recommending to my friends here who are also enduring the heat of Northern California.

Bill F.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks Bill! Great to hear that EZ Snap is keeping you cooler in Northern California.

Still got the sunlight... without the heat
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Well after EZ Snap material arrived had no problem cutting to size for my 3 sky lites.

My handy man found all instructions very understandable and in no time they were up on my roof sky lites.

As we hoped for we still got the sunlight in the kitchen & living room but without the heat. Perfect for the inside plant garden in the living room.

Thanks,
Stewart

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your review Stewart. Happy to hear that EZ Snap is keeping you (and your plants) happy and cooler!

Immediately Made a Difference
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I purchased the exterior skylight shade. As indicated on the website the no-drill fasteners were easy to install, the screen mesh cut to fit easily, and pinning the mesh in place was simple.

The shade immediately made a difference in the brightness and glare coming through the skylight.

My only negative comment is the website's claim on blocking the sun "without blocking the view." When the sun is directly shining through the shade, I can see the sky fairly well. When the sun is not directly shining, the sky is obscured by the screen. Since it is a skylight, it's not that big of an issue. If I used the same screen material for a window, it might be a problem for the view.

Craig

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks Craig

Works Amazingly Well

EZ Snap Skylight Shade Review Photo from Helen M

We had been covering our two skylights with foil blankets covered by tarps for a few years. This was effective but ugly for our neighbours and darkened our interior.

EZ Snap was easy to order and install and we find it works amazingly well. And it is very unobtrusive. The neighbours are delighted and so are we.

My son and I installed the two covers in under an hour. We checked and double checked our measurements before cutting. I would suggest that an extra inch or so in all directions does no harm.

Sincerely,
Helen M.

Barely made it 6 years
EZ Snap Product: Skylight shade mesh

I installed this product 6 years ago to reduce uv exposure and uv heat to our family room, 2 skylights.

We chose this product because they advertised within their warranty that the product will last 10+ years. Unfortunately, ours only lasted 6 years before it broke down. the fabric completely disintegrated.

I was quite confused after reaching out the ez snap regarding the warranty. The warranty states limited lifetime and states the fabric will last 10+ years.

They did offer to pro rate the cost and offered 40% off a new kit, which would require me paying the 60% plus shipping.

Just beware.... product does not hold up as stated.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your feedback. Environmental conditions vary a lot, depending on geographic location, weather, and seasonal use. 6 years is way less than what we typically hear from our customers.

The temperature in the sun room has dropped significantly!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Skylight Shade Review Photos from Paul M CloseupSkylight Shade Review Photos from Paul M

Dear EZ Snap Team,

I recently ordered a 15 ft skylight kit and was very pleased with the ease of installation and results!

Prior to installation, I cleaned all of the snap contact surfaces with 70% IPA solution waited for the surfaces to dry thoroughly and then applied the primer. As advised by your team, I used one primer stick per skylight - that worked perfectly because each primer stick lasted about 5-10 minutes and was enough to cover about 26 snap locations.

The snaps were very easy to assemble and install. To aid assembly of the two snap components, I used a multi-purpose, handheld screwdriver with the bit removed - so that we could uniformly press down on the top surface of the flange and it snapped easily onto the adhesive base component.

Maintaining tension on the fabric was a bit tricky - especially on the middle skylight, because I had to work left to right, top -> down and that was awkward due to the close spacing of the skylights.

In summary, I am VERY pleased with your product and would highly recommend it to others. We have already experienced some sunny days since the installation and the temperature in the sun room has dropped significantly!

Best regards,

Paul Mertzlufft

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the photos and your positive review Paul. Glad to hear EZ Snap Skylight Shades are keeping your sunroom cooler.

White Skylight Shade Review Photos from D Sun

Skylight Shade Review Photos from D Sun

Good afternoon. The following is my review of the 10’ Exterior Skylight Shade Kit (white mesh/grey studs):

I recently installed the 10’ exterior skylight shade kit on my 8’x 6’ skylight just in time to beat the summertime heat in Southern California.

Installation was extremely straightforward and the instructions were easy to follow.

Everything I needed for a professional appearing installation was provided, including the cutting tool to remove the excess mesh material.

My previous shade cloth kept blowing away, leaving the skylight constantly exposed. However, this skylight shade kit fastens securely to the sides of the metal skylight housing. I now no longer need to keep climbing up to the roof to readjust the shade cloth!

In addition, the mesh material feels very durable, and I am hopeful that it will stand up to the elements. My local municipality requires that homeowners install cool roof materials. I chose the white mesh option for my skylight shade kit and it blends in perfectly with the rest of my cool roof.

David Sun

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for the positive review and photos David. Nice installation... those white Skylight Shades look great on your white roof!

Make sure you actually measure the project. I made an assumption and ended up having to order a second larger price.

My dome skylight is 42 inches square. Just to cover the glass. A 5 x 6 ft piece did the job.

I could have folded nicer corners but I figured I would make it pretty if ever I needed to remove it. ( planning on leaving it out all winter).

Wasn't until September that I did the install. The worst of the summer heat was over.

Able to tell the new tenants that the AC should work a lot less next year.

Temps reached over 100 degrees up in the skylight during the summer.

Ez snap will definitely fix that!

Excellent Product
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

EZ Snap is exactly as advertised! This material is fantastic!

We just finished building our home and the builder did not order the correct skylights. I have 5 skylights on my home in the Texas summer. Non insulated skylights had the Hot streaming summer heat streaming through the skylights making the hot house and the AC run a great deal all summer.

Thank goodness I found EZ Snap! Excellent insulation from the sun while still having the beautiful light coming through.

Ordered the black screen material and it looks really great on our new home! They actually look like they were professionally installed and not by my 16 year old grandson. This is an excellent product!

If you are on the fence or thinking how could this work the way it is advertised, I can assure you its Everything advertised and more!

It advertised you could take off in the winter if you wanted to and reinstall in spring. We decided at the great price point and with much of our winter weather being mild I am choosing to leave it on all year. The skylights looks really attractive no need to mess with a good thing.

It is priced so well that if I need to replace in a few years due to the intense sun I would not have a problem doing that. The price of the EZ Snap is super & my grandson put them up in no time.

I cut each skylight piece inside house while he was sticking on the little snaps. The entire process took us about 30 minutes total.

EZ Snap is an excellent, excellent product!

Very Pleased

Since we got the screening for our sky light we did see a difference in the temperature in our sunroom.

We are very pleased with the product and just took it off for the winter since the sun will give some heat through the skylight. Will put it back on in April.

I upgraded my skylights to Velux and still noticed that our house was warm despite the upgraded skylights.

Heard great reviews about EZ snap so I ordered the kit. It was very fast and simple to install. The instructions given are clear and ordering was very easy.

Our house feels considerably cooler especially in the summer. Would highly recommend EZ Snap!!!

They don’t block the view, just the heat!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

This product works exactly as marketed and makes a significant difference in the amount of heat coming through our skylights; so much so, that our cats were confused by the cool sunspots!

Even better, it was super easy to install, thanks to the well written instructions!

We removed and stored them last week, since it’s now mid-fall, and even that process was easy!

I also really appreciate the fact that they don’t block the view, just the heat!

I looked at a lot of different products and was very skeptical about buying this one; needless to say, I was wrong! Great product!

The benefit of the skylight shade is evident - the room is several degrees cooler and the AC runs less often.

Hopefully they last a long time!

Congratulations on a great product.
EZ Snap Product: Exterior Window Shades

We are thrilled with our purchase of ezsnap. Having no air conditioning and only ceiling fans to cool our house in Southern California, it was crucial to find a product that would block some of the heat coming in.

I installed ezsnap shade on a large east-facing skylight and large west-facing window along with a smaller skylight and the inside of a west-facing quatrefoil window. We had previously used shade cloth to provide some relief from the blazing sun in summer, but after putting the ezsnap shade in place, our rooms were noticeably cooler while letting in more light. The difference was amazing.

Cutting the shade to size and installation were easy following instructions provided on the website.

We are very pleased to find a product that actually does what it says it will, and we plan to order more for a greenhouse window. Congratulations on a great product.

Skylight Shade Review Photo from Haley H
Hi y'all!

I just spent Labor Day weekend Ez Snapping some shades to my skylights! The entire process took two days and the majority of that time was spent letting my snaps adhere to the skylight.

Once the skylights were cleaned and snaps were ready - we simply rolled the fabric over the skylight and placed it into position. Snapping the tops on top of the fabric and cutting the excess couldn't have been easier.

This week is supposed to be a cooler week in Savannah, but I'm sure we'll get another 95 degree test day before the summer is actually gone!

Thanks again!

Extremely happy with this product
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I purchased the ez snap product for the skylight in our family room. It’s an older model with no shade.

We’re in Southern California where it gets quite warm!

After installing the ezsnap screen we saw a remarkable difference in the comfort of our favorite room! It has blocked, just as promised, the great majority of heat but allowing daylight through.

I am extremely happy with this product and would recommend it to others who need help from the intense sunshine!

Highly recommend the product!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I ordered the fabric after doing some quick research. Knowing I didn’t have to fool around with sticking a perfectly cut piece of tinted plastic was something that sold it for me - I knew there was no way that could come out as easy as they make it seem.

When the fabric came, I read the instructions, got on the roof, and installed over my skylights. Took around 1 hour to install for 3 skylights.

Following the directions was easy, and it is a straightforward process.

Noticed the difference immediately in the temperature in the house- it did not get nearly as hot.

Highly recommend the product!

We put EZ on our sky light at our home a month ago.

We are east of Lake Charles by about 200 miles, we had gusts from hurricane Laura of 40-50 mph winds ( maybe more than) and were without power for awhile because of downed trees in our area!!

The EZ snap is still in place after the storm!

I am beyond pleased with this product!!

It has also made it much cooler in my kitchen. I definitely can tell the difference in temperature!!

I would definitely recommend EZ snap!!

Really pleased with how they worked
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

HI !

I installed EZ Snap shades on the 3 skylights in my home during the heat wave in July.

They were pretty easy to install and I had no difficulties whatsoever. And they worked great!

In the kitchen it was almost impossible to get the temperature below 80 before installation but now was the same temperature as the rest of the house and I noticed that the A/C was cycling off for longer periods of time.

I am really pleased with how they worked and have ordered the EZ Snap shades for my weekend home in upstate NY.

Our usage of the AC has gone down
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Hi EZ Snap Team,

We installed EZ Snap on our skylight in the entry way, which is about 55"x55".

We've lived at our home for about 7 years and every summer that skylight makes our living room much hotter than it needs to be. We love the natural light, but it gets hot during summer, and our electricity bill shows!

We installed the EZ Snap (which was VERY simple) a few months ago and our AC is very happy with us! Our usage of the AC has gone down and our electricity bill has gone down a bit as well.

Best investment; should've done it years ago!! Thank you times a million!!

Keeps the hot sun out of my kitchen.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I was looking into a shade for my skylight when I came across EZ Snap website. I liked the thought of this better than a shade that I needed a pole to open and close.

EZ Snap website is very informative and easy to use.

Following directions of measuring and ordering was simple. It arrived quickly and was easy to install. Made an error on the type of pins I needed and emailed them and they corrected the order for me no questions asked.

It works! It keeps the hot sun out of my kitchen.

It is a little bit darker in the room and takes some getting used to but definitely keeps the heat out. I'm not sure if I had chosen the white screen it would allow more light.

These screens were very easy to install and have made a huge difference to the temperature of my home. I used it over 4 skylights that used to make one half of my house SEVERAL degrees warmer than the other half. Now that the EZ Snap shades are up, I had to INCREASE the temperature in my house to keep from getting cold!

In addition, I had extra fabric, so I installed it over my kitchen windows. I used to have to wear sunglasses to do the dishes early in the morning, but no more! I wish I had gotten these years ago!

Cut the heat immediately
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

EZ Snap was a snap. My daughter installed it on our skylights. I thought we would need a handy man, but the instructions were very clear and our daughter said “I can do it” and she did!

It cut the heat immediately from the skylights.

We live in a very hot climate and it made our kitchen almost unbearable in the afternoon. Now it is great.

The light is still good but very diffused and the difference in the temperature is amazing.

Can’t recommend enough. One happy customer. Just wish I had known about EZ Snap sooner.

Amazing difference in the temperature
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shade

We have two skylights in our NW Ohio home. This brutal summer got me searching the internet for some sort of shade to block the heat from coming in our kitchen and family room and cut our air conditioning bill. Our local Lowe’s Hardware store recommended the film you place on from the inside. No way …we dealt with that mess years ago and ended up with a sticky mess on the old windows. We have since replaced all of the windows in the house.

I found your website and read up on it… sounded pretty easy but after watching your video and another customer video on YouTube we were sold. EZ Snap sounded like it may do the trick, so we had our sons climb out on the roof and get the measurements.

We placed our order and our shipment arrived very promptly.

We waited for a cooler summer morning to clean the areas and install the 3M sticker posts. That was easy. We let them cure until the next morning and the boys went out to install the mesh and snaps.

Our sons were shocked at how simple it really was. Usually when you attempt a job it’s always much harder than it seems.

The only problem was that I forgot the steps to assure the right amount of snaps. No problem there… I am placing an order for the balance of what we need to place between the installed snaps we have in place.

Both skylights are protected by other roof lines from the winds we get. The 40 mph wind we got a couple of days after insulation didn’t budge the covers even without the recommended snaps.

This installation has made an amazing difference in the temperature of our two rooms. You can still, amazingly, see through the screens fine and a cool sunbeam will reach the floors without the heat and glare.

We wish we would have found these years ago! Thank you EZ Snap for your great product!

Kitchen is noticeably cooler by several degrees
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I have several flat skylights in my kitchen that are lovely for letting in some natural light, but make the room absolutely miserable and turn the kitchen into a greenhouse in the heat of the summer. After weeks of researching skylight blinds, window tints, and stick-on shades, I feel lucky to have come across EZ Snap.

Now, I’m an amateur when it comes to DIY home projects, but the instructions for measuring the skylights for the material were clear and simple to follow. The install was also super easy. Remember to follow the advice of ‘measure twice, cut once’ because the last thing you want is for the cut material to not fit over the skylight. I was comfortable climbing up and down my gently sloped roof to measure and then install the material, but if you have a steep roof you may want to err on the side of caution and find a roofer friend or handy-person who can install this for you.

My kitchen is noticeably cooler by several degrees after the install, and I’m thrilled. There is still a lot of natural light coming into the room but the heat has been cut significantly. We have had a couple storms and heavy rainfall since I put up the shades but nothing has come loose due to the elements.

If the DIY aspects of a skylight shade project excite you, and you enjoy the feeling of satisfaction when your electricity bill is suddenly lower than it’s ever been in the summer, then EZ Snap is the way to go!

Great product, easy to install, five stars!

A good product overall.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

The EZ Snap shades are very easy to install, and the website is very helpful with lots of information.

My one complaint is that the stainless screw sets also come with plastic caps and pins. Unfortunately, I did not read the description thoroughly enough or it could be more explicit. I had existing stainless studs installed already, so I now have a lot extra of those, and I miscalculated how many of the adhesive studs I needed, so not enough of those. If I had known, I would have ordered differently.

A good product overall.

Affordable and Simple
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I am not completing this review as part of the contest, but because I was a skeptical believer at first. I purchased two EZ Snap screens for my two flat skylights. I followed the instructions completely as instructed on the first EZ snap window. On my second skylight, because I was on the roof, I attached the devices on the window frame as instructed, but then changed the installation snapping the next two pieces together before snapping them into the devices attached to the window frame. The devices are well made and very snug making snapping them together while on the roof challenging.

The results are immediate. I LOVE them! You can feel how much they cool your room immediately lowering your utility bills. They entire system is well made and durable. The shades provide a bright cloudy atmosphere indoor, but the ability to see through the skylight.

I rarely take the time to complete a product review and did not complete this review until the EZ snaps had been on the skylights for 3 months. The EZ snap has endured heavy rains, strong winds and hail with out any changes to the structure of the EZ snaps. The only thing that I did not think about was the leaves that would attach to the EZ snap screen. With stronger winds, most of these had blown off.

I strongly encourage anyone looking to decrease the summer suns heat from entering their room to make this affordable and simple installation to their skylights.

Hello! It is my pleasure to send my review to your company.

I purchased your five foot kit to cover two skylights.

The old Andersen skylights no longer opened and when I removed the interior screens the sunlight through them in our family room was unbearable.

I am a very capable sixty year old female who hates heights!! Being a ‘Jill of all-trades’ I decided that I could get this done; just wish it was ground-level work.

Using an extension ladder on my deck I went up on the roof two evenings in a row. The first evening was to apply the bases and then 24 hours later finished up with the mesh application following the excellent instructions provided.

I have attached two pictures – one showing my new interior view and the other showing the exterior wrapped skylights.

I highly recommend this product as it is super easy to install, very cost effective and I am sure I will be saving additional monies on my electric bill!

Happy to be safely off the roof, (LOL)

Wow very pleased with final results!

The ease of installation and the quality of material. Everything I ordered was present.

Very simple process from prepping of surface, cutting material, attaching snaps and cover. It took me approximately 2 1/2 hours from start to finish.

It has cooled my sunroom by 15 degrees or more. I have recommended EZ snap to some friends who are looking for a similar solution.

Less costly solution to our issues
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Looking for a solution to reduce the amount of heat and sunshine coming through our skylight, we found your product on the Internet with great reviews.

It was a significantly less costly solution to our issues, and we decided to give it a try.

Installing it was relatively easy and we have been very pleased.

Prior to the installation, we could walk under the skylight, and feel the intense heat. Now we don’t feel that heat, and the light is diffused.

We haven’t had it long enough to see if the savings will be reflected in our electric bill. We saved nearly a thousand dollars from the solution we nearly went with, a honeycomb roller shade...fingers crossed!

Very happy with the purchase
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We got EZ exterior window shades for our 3 skylight windows. Before ordering, we called the customer service for some questions, and the person who answered the phone was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Once we got the products, my husband put the adhesive studs on the skylight windows. Super easy! It took him less than 1 hour to put the studs on all 3 windows on the roof. After waiting for at least 24 hours, as instructed, he put the shade screen on the windows, again in about 1 hour. He said it was very easy.

Now how do we feel about it? We love it! Before the installation, our living room/kitchen can be really hot especially in the afternoon in summer when the sun hits the floor directly through the windows for few hours. Now with the shades, although the room still gets warmer, the temperature does not go up as much as it used to be. Definitely we are saving some energy bills. We also like that the shades darken the room but not completely block the sunlight.

Before we got the EZ exterior window shades, we explored the option of motorized blinds on our skylight windows. But it is very costly, and we heard a lot of trouble with them such as the remote stops working after a season. We chose EX exterior window shades, because, hopefully, they will last long, and we can take them off in winter/fall, if we want.

So far, we enjoy the shades every day, and we are very happy with the purchase.

It does everything they say!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shade

I bought the smallest skylight shade kit. It was incredibly easy to install. I bought the white fabric and it allows a pleasant filtered light to come in but cuts the heat incredibly. I think it took me about 25 minutes to install the skylight shade and that included washing the skylight and waiting for the primer to dry. What a great product!

EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Hi there,

I purchased easy snap skylight covers several weeks ago but I did not have them put up until yesterday.

I wish I had bought this product years ago.

The second floor of my small house was unbearably hot related to four skylights. I was always reluctant to cover the skylights because I did not want the second floor to be dark but after a few heatwaves I decided something had to be done.

This is the first time during the summer I have not had an approximately 5°C difference between the main floor on the second floor during hot part of the day. The difference is astonishing.

Also, it has not made the 2nd floor very dark.

I really feel silly for not doing this a long time ago.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone suffering through skylight related heat problems.

EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We love the EZ Snap product.

We bought a 15 ft kit to do 6 skylights. EZ Snap sent us a cutting guide and it was so easy to cut them to size and install the panels.

It has helped to keep the hot direct sunlight from heating up our home, tremendously.

They do not block the view of the sky and they look fine from the inside.

We are very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to others.

Definite decrease of heat in the house
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

EZ Snap Skylight Shade Review Photos from Diana E

I live here in Tucson, Arizona and the summer heat from the skylights was horrible. Many days of 105 and over. I have 5 skylights that have domes.

I measured each skylight, then cleaned the sides of the frames as they were covered with roof coating. Applied the snaps and then placed suction cups on top as recommended for dome skylight and then placed my self-cut-to-size material onto skylights, trimmed off excess material.

I love them and there is a definite decrease of heat in the house. I also don’t have to worry about my clothes fading in the sun from the closet skylight.

I plan on keeping them on year round. Love them. Thousands cheaper than replacing skylights with expensive energy reducing skylights.

Also customer service was excellent and promptly answered any questions I had about installation.

Diana E.

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks Diana... glad that EZ Snap is keeping you cool in Tucson!

Well worth the investment
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We installed our EZ Snap shades on three of our skylights in our new-to-us 1982 house.

It has made a huge difference in the amount of heat coming in from the skylights.

We are very pleased with the results of the shades.

It was not easy to put them up, particularly because we were installing them over skylights, two of which we had to be on the roof and it felt really precarious. The snaps are hard to snap as they are pretty tight, although that means they will stay put for a long time.

Overall, I would say it was well worth the investment and effort to reduce the heat coming into our home!

Installed 3M adhesive snaps, let sit 3 days.

Cut and installed mesh, went on nice.

Our EZ Snap package was ordered by phone. A very helpful chap advised us well.

It covers a round skylight on our sun room. The fit is perfect, we barely know it is there.

We need our air conditioner less than before installing. Hurrah!!!

Recommended... does not feel as hot now.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I really think EZ Snap made a difference to the two skylights in our living room.

The sun shined in making bright sun spots that tracked across the room with the sun's movement.

The skylights also made the room feel hotter than any other room in the house due to the general heat let through.

Also it was annoying to have the sun spot right in your face on the couch, during certain times.

Now, after putting up the EZ Snap, the sun spots still show but are less intense and do not affect the room temp like before. Standing in the sun spot does not feel as hot now.

I'm pretty happy with the install and it wasn't too bad installing. Just have to plan ahead and remember to double check measurements.

I would recommend it to anyone I know who would have the same issue like me, or other windows related issues.

Much Cooler in Our House
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

My contractor was less than enthusiastic about my order with EZ Snap. He had worked with similar products and snickered at the prospect that the installation would be simple. He installed the screen on two skylights in about 30 minutes. He said the installation went well and used an intuitive design to tack down the screen. He was impressed and that is not easily accomplished.

We all were excited that it was not like living in a cave after the installation of the screen. We get plenty of sunshine and it is much cooler in our house. That is very important when living in the Arizona desert.

Your product is everything you said it would be and more! Thank you.

I highly recommend these for skylights
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Wow! I purchased the EZ Snap screens to help minimize the sunlight that was entering through our two skylights. I was skeptical of how simple and effective the EZ Snap screens would be.

They reduced the incoming sunlight making the temperature in the living room much more comfortable. The reduced sunlight will also reduce the fading of our couches.

The installation was an easy two step process. Simply lay out the location of the snaps. Prime with the available priming pen and adhere the snap base.

After a while (I waited 24 hours) return with cut screens, place pin onto snap and install screen. Place pin cap to secure screen in place. Then enjoy.

The view out of the skylights is minimally noticeable.

I highly recommend these for skylights and they are considerably less expensive than the alternatives such as shades.

Excellent Product
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Super easy to install.

I had quotes to remove my skylight completely. It was too bright and too hot.

I tried the easy snap screen and I am glad I did. It lets plenty of light through without the heat or blinding reflections.

The installation with the primer was easy, clean and shows no signs of coming undone. Excellent product.

Fasteners Really Are Strong
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

EZ Snap Skylight Review Photo from John B - Before EZ Snap Skylight Review Photo from John B


 

Not easy to find skylight covers that work. UV rays, solar heat, hurricanes, and cheap materials have put more than a few companies out of business.

I was a bit wary of EZSnap, but after reading the literature, and talking to their tech guy, I thought it was worth a try.

My skylights were heating up our top floor condo like an attic.

Hired a handyman to install them (I don't do roofs anymore), it took him about 1 hour each skylight.

Tucked the fabric under and pinned every 5 inches, except 1 inch on the corners. (We're in FL hurricane paths).
The results are great so far. Pleased with the installation, and the filter effect inside is noticeable but not radical.
It is definitely working in regard to solar heat and UV protection.

Time will tell on wear and tear, and hurricane winds.

My handyman was equally impressed. He said those stick-up fasteners really are strong, and the fabric easy to work with. See my pics.

Installed them with relative ease.

I live in Florida, and needless to say the summer sun can be brutal.

I have 2 large skylights in my living room.

Not wanting to replace them at great expense, I was looking on you tube and came across a video of a guy installing EZ Snap on his skylights.

I ordered, received and my son installed them with relative ease.

The covers filter the light, but do not make the room dark. I will give a follow up review at a later time to let you know how they hold up.

Daily average of 89 degrees to an average of 75 degrees.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Hi there! I absolutely love your products - here is my review:

I purchased EZ Snap as a last ditch effort to avoid having to replace a large, old skylight in our new home which was working more like a magnifying glass - causing our upstairs to become unbearably hot and extremely expensive to cool down.

I have to admit, I made this purchase with low expectations - having been burned before with products advertising they were "as seen on Shark Tank" but I have been incredibly happy with the results.

Besides being super easy to install, it has made a greater difference than I could have hoped for with our upstairs going from a daily average of 89 degrees to an average of 75 degrees.

We're also saving thousands of dollars because we don't have to move forward with a skylight replacement. I highly recommend this product!

Best,
Michele

Review of EZ Snap Shade Screen used on two Velux skylights
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

While I was refinishing my two skylight wells, this summer, I was amazed at the solar heat gain coming in through the skylights. It was so hot as to make it impossible for me to be trying to work up there! I thought the skylights' coated glass was supposed to be enough to manage the heat but it clearly was not up to the task. I looked at various interior shade systems but began looking for a product that would *deal with the heat before it gets into the house*. I did find some interesting exterior motorized shading systems but they were big, expensive, complicated, ugly and required power to operate. I also found an opaque "cover" type product with a draw string to hold it in place. It was simple and should be effective but they are ugly from outside and inside and admit no light at
all.

I then came upon the EZ Snap product and it seemed to be just what I needed! It is very effective and the skylights are fully functional. You can see through them and they can still be opened. EZ Snap Shade Screens are very easy to install and look great too besides being *very reasonably priced*. I ordered the 7 foot kit to do both of my skylights and had relatively little waste.

The installation was pretty EZ! I measured and used the included white pencil to mark out the skylight rectangles on the floor. I cut them out leaving a generous allowance to trim off as a final step. Then I went up and washed and dried the skylights. I followed up with 99% pure alcohol to clean the skylight frames, marked the locations for the snaps and installed them. It was all pretty simple. (I picked a cool, overcast day.) I had ordered two of the primer pens thinking that would be more than enough but I ran out after priming about a third of the snaps on each skylight. I went ahead and finished the rest without primer and they seem fine. I would not bother with the primer pens if I were to do it again. I had to put the snaps on the sides of the skylight frames because the tops are all curved surfaces. In retrospect, I think this is best anyway since it looks best, is most secure and there is no way for leaves or whatever to blow under between the glass and shade screen. I bought extra snaps and installed them about 4-3/4" apart if I recall correctly. Attaching the screen to the snaps was easy enough and I just trimmed off the excess screen with sharp scissors by following along the frame.

With the EZ Snap sun screens there is much, much less heat coming in to my home. The rooms with skylights are more comfortable and I expect the air conditioning has run less too. A likely bonus is the skylight wells may not need refinishing again since they get additional protection from the sun's rays. The light admitted is much less but it is enough and you can still see through the skylights. I left my interior screens in place because my skylights open up. As you can see, because you are looking through both the inside screen and the exterior sun shade screen, you do get a "moire" visual pattern effect. I do not find it objectionable and it does not happen if the inside screen is removed. (The picture was taken just before sunset without any other lighting on in the room.) I have not decided yet as to whether or not to leave the EZ Snap sun screens in place for the winter.

Overall I find EZ Snap Shade Screen to be a super product! It provides an effective, good looking, high quality product at a great price and simple enough to be able to do yourself.

I am located near Windsor, Ontario, Canada and EZ Snap was received delivery within just a few days of ordering online.

I will never go back to interior skylight blinds.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

EZ Snap skylights shades survived Hurricane Dorian. Nova Scotia was hit by Dorian back in September. There were trees down everywhere and power outages, but we still had our five EZ Snap skylight exterior shades.

Our decision to purchase exterior shades resulted when one of our interior electric blinds had stopped working. To replace it was going to involve manufacturing and shipping from Denmark at an exorbitant cost.

Luckily, EZ Snap came to our rescue with their superior product that I found online.

The staff were so helpful making sure I had everything required to install and the order shipped quickly.

Installation was a breeze.

Due to the wind conditions in Nova Scotia, I requested extra fasteners. Troy set up a design for me at 10” apart.

As advertised, the shades also reduce heat which made our kitchen and den tolerable all summer. I will never go back to interior skylight blinds.

Thank you EZ Snap. I wish you continued success and I highly endorse your product.

Installing the EZ Snap shade was a breeze
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We are thrilled at the results of the EZ Snap window shade.

We have two west-facing skylights that heat the kitchen and great room to a level almost taxing our AC system.

Installing the EZ Snap shade was a breeze - very easy with two people, even when considering that we were dealing with skylights on an 8/12 roof rather than windows.

The product provided instant results - the rooms affected never spiked in temperature during the day and the AC easily kept all living spaces cool.

Removing the shades in the Fall also was a snap!

I have since recommended the product to several people and will definitely order the product again as we are contemplating a move to a more southerly location.

This is a great product - I give it 5 stars!

They were a breeze to install and work great.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I purchased EZ Snaps to cover my skylights.

We lost our shade trees and the heat coming through the 4 large skylights was unbearable.

After quite a bit of research, I decided to go with the EZ Snap screen system. Best decision ever!

They were a breeze to install and work great.

The AC was able to keep the house comfortable even on 90+ degree days. I also noticed the furniture was no longer baking in the sun.

I would recommend EZ Snap to anyone looking for a good system to protect their home from heat and sun damage.

Thank you for making the summer months bearable once again.

Actually better than I imagined.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I ordered mesh for 2 skylights and have been enjoying the benefits for the past 3 weeks - including some steamy hot spells. I am grateful and relieved for the added comfort they provide.

I was hopeful these shades would make a difference but the reality is actually better than I imagined.

I appreciate the patience of Troy Assaly walking me through the installation process and for helping me decide how to proceed. However, we were not able to use the snaps provided to separate the mesh from the skylights as there was not enough mesh to do so. Even though the dimensions given were accurate there was no accounting for the height of the bubble in the skylights.

Still the outcome is very satisfying and I am happy with the results. Thanks for keeping me cool.

My electric bill was about 30% lower than the same month last year.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Hello;

I moved into my current home 4 years ago. While I admit to being warm-natured, the temperature in the master bath and master bedroom was much higher than in the rest of the house. You could instantly feel the difference walking into the bedroom. In west Texas, this uncomfortable situation extends throughout 8 to 9 months of the year. With the thermostat set on 68 degrees, the rest of the house was 68 degrees, but the master bathroom was constantly at 85 degrees or higher, making getting dressed or applying make-up a sweaty and somewhat futile experience.

The culprit? a west-facing giant skylight. Oscillating fans barely made a dent in the heat. Texas sun is hot and unforgiving, and the skylight actually magnified the heat. Sleeping in that bedroom was miserably hot and I would find myself getting up in the middle of the night to move to the sofa in the living room. I was seriously considering moving.

Then I saw an ad for ezsnapdirect. I called and spoke to a customer service rep who answered all of my questions and explained everything. I decided to order an EZ Snap cover for that skylight. My handyman put it on in no time, since the installation requires no tools or drilling.

I had relief immediately. It was so much cooler in there than it was before the screen was installed. The wonderful light still came in, but the heat was reduced significantly.

Now I can sleep at night, get showered and dressed without sweating and put on make-up without it running off.

On top of that, my electric bill was about 30% lower than the same month last year. I have to say that most advertised products that I have tried have not worked as claimed. Happily, this is an exception. It worked so much better than I had expected. Also, the price was very affordable and my handy man charged next to nothing to put it on my very steep roof. I couldn’t be more pleased and would recommend this to anyone with a skylight. I will do my west-facing windows next and see how much more I can save on my electric bill.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Coomer

Drastically reduced the amount of heat
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I just wanted to report back on the installation of my EZ Snap Skylight Shade.

It went well... first I laid out where the buttons would go. Then installed them.

Waiting for 24 hours for the buttons to secure themselves, I measured out the material and installed it probably within an hour.

This has drastically reduced the amount of heat that normally came in without EZ Snap.

Thanks,

Easy to install by myself
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I installed these in early July in Atlanta, where it was already hot.

They were easy to install by myself and it didn’t take long at all.

I did notice the room looking a little darker but it is clear to look out of them. However, I did not have a noticeable change in the heat in the room.

I measured the temperature inside several days before, a few times right before, and a few times after, and there was no noticeable improvement.

Trish

EZ Snap® Team - Thank you for your feedback. Inside temperatures are affected by all sources of heat including skylights and windows. In your case, it may be necessary to install shades on more than just two small skylights.

Hello EZ Snap,

We here at Wahlco Inc. have several very large skylights that were letting in too much light for our engineering team to work in a comfortable environment.

I researched your product and found the solution to our issue.

After speaking extensively with Troy Assaly regarding our issue here at Wahlco, he provided a solution offering the 30 Ft. X 5 Ft. Exterior Skylight Blackout Shade Kit, that fixed our Issue with the engineering team and provided very satisfying results.

I have attached various photos for the before and after results that definitely improved our extreme sun light issue and satisfied our engineering group.

I would highly recommend this product for any skylight issues that customers may have.

Install was a breeze, took me less than 30 minutes.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I’ve lived in my home for over ten years and it wasn’t until recently, while installing a new ceiling fan below my skylights, that I noticed how much heat comes through and bakes the inside of my house.

I have a split level and live in Colorado so it is a constant challenge to keep my upstairs cool.

If you can cut a piece of paper after marking a straight line, you can install these. Install was a breeze, took me less than 30 minutes and the look is nice and clean.

They do shade the inside more than I was expecting but I don’t mind because they work great!

Just had a wicked hail and wind storm yesterday and they are still kicking.

I went with the stick on attachments and just made sure to clean the surface with alcohol prior to application of the 3m backed pads.

I have and will continue to recommend this product to family and friends.

At least 10° cooler in my kitchen.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I Received the EZ snap set in my mailbox. I should have ordered earlier in the year, but late is better than never.

The difference the screens make on my skylights is at least 10° cooler in my kitchen.

My grandson climbed on our gable roof, cleaned the skylight frames, and installed the easy snaps along with the screening. It took a while but that was mainly because of the roof slope.

We are very pleased and they seem to be very secure. I can write more when they are on after a year or more.

Thank you EZ Snap!

A fraction of the cost of other options.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We have a small town coffee shop in our building and I was informed that they were receiving too much sunshine through a skylight. This sunshine was drying out their baked goods and overheating the baristas.

After a little bit of research and reading other reviews I decided on trying out EZ Snap®. The product has done exactly as I would hoped and at a fraction of the cost of other options.

I would highly recommend this product for anyone that has too much solar heat coming in but doesn’t want to block it all out.

Delighted by the heat reduction.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

After searching and searching for a 'temporary' but effective, still see outside, window covering for our skylights, we happily came across the EZ Snap system.

We needed to reduce the summer heat coming in from our 2 skylights. These are in our favorite room that we normally close off from the main house during the summer due to excessive heat and not wanting to use our air conditioner to dissipate it and have the rest of the house freezing.

The EZ Snap system was EAZY to install and we are really delighted by the heat reduction from having the skylights covered. AND we can still see the daytime AND nighttime sky which was mandatory for us. That's why we put in skylights!!

And it's great that we can remove them for winter. They will last a lot longer not having them subject to the outside elements 365 days a year!

Thank you for a wonderful product that works as advertised!

What a difference...

It has been several summer weeks since I installed my EZ Snap skylight screens.

What a difference they have made in the overall comfort in our home.

No more glaring sunlight and large A/C bills. Our A/C costs have dropped 10% easily so these screens will be paid for in no time.

Delivery was quick and installation is - no pun intended - a snap!

A great product!

Works as Advertised
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I know you won't print this, but just to get it off my chest...

The EZ Snap product works as advertised. The toughest part of installation is getting on the roof.

However, seldom in my 66 years have I encountered worse customer service. I will never buy this product again, and for those that have asked me, I've recommended they do the same.

I ordered the wrong fasteners. My mistake. When I called to get them exchanged, it was suggested that I spend another $20.00 plus shipping from Canada to get the correct ones. That's asked if I couldn't just exchange the ones that I had for the others. I was told I could, but that they wouldn't send the others until I returned the tiny bag of screws, about $4.00 worth at my local hardware store. When I said I might just return the whole thing and start over, I was informed that it would cost me shipping to Canada, PLUS a 25% restocking fee! That's for a product that was virtually unopened, except for discovering I'd chosen the wrong fasteners.

I did the exchange. I paid the freight (which is understandable) but the whole experience left me really disliking their business practices.

There you have it!

The install was more than easy.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

It was a pleasure purchasing and installing my EZ Snap skylight mesh cover.

Ordering was easy, delivery was prompt, and the install was more than easy.

This product has made the room where my skylight is useable again in our HOT! S.E. Florida summer days.

I highly recommend this product!

The skylights look so much better, less glare and a softer light coming through.

The room immediately felt cooler and still let plenty of light in.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We recently moved to a house that had an atrium with eight large skylights and, like most skylights, they can be too much of a good thing - light and heat. Our air conditioner would run non-stop on sunny hot days in the summer and watching tv with all that light wasn't enjoyable.

To solve these issues I was considering everything from electric shades ($12,000), to powered indoor or outdoor awnings ($6,000), to the EZ Snap shades ($700). My concern with the EZ Snap product was that they would be too dark or too light. A company rep described the tint as "like putting sunglasses on your skylights" - I couldn't agree more and wouldn't want to change it in either direction.

My install had a bit of a challenge in that the top and bottom of the skylights are not a 100% flat surface, using screws to fasten the shades would have solved that issue but I didn't want to drill that many holes in the skylight.

I used the adhesive studs system and haven't had any issues even after 5 thunderstorms with strong winds. I also found that cutting the shade after I had fastened it to the skylight made it easier to ensure it was cut properly to length and straight, this probably isn't necessary with smaller skylights.

The result was noticeable immediately after coming off the roof from install - the room immediately felt cooler and still let plenty of light in without being super bright.

My wife and I love it, we can spend all day in the atrium and we can still see the stars at night.

Great product and a great value!

Results were better than expected.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Everything arrived from EZ Snap exactly as expected, and perfectly on time.

I carefully measured the skylights on the roof (twice) and then returned to Terra firma so to safely cut the fabric, having measured and checked (twice). Returning up to the roof to install before it got too hot.

Each skylight took about 15 minutes total to finish and the install was as simple as the very helpful video implied. I was surprised that the job was so easy but happier still that the results were better than expected.

It was hard to see how we would lose so little light yet achieve the dramatic cooling effect EZ Snap advertised.

We have extremely poor windows that we are due to replace them all in a matter of weeks, however the HVAC company installing refrigerated air, made clear, that "the windows will help" but you also need to address those skylights, because the heat ingress from them is immense".

We looked at the options and settled on EZ Snap and have zero regrets or hesitation recommending EZ Snap because their innovative solution is reasonably priced, easy to install and does exactly what they advertise and maybe more.

Regards, Andy Hageman

Very happy with the product
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Ordering this for my skylight was the best investment to date. I’m so upset that I didn’t take before and after photos.

Our upper floor would heat up soooo much that the floor even got warm to the touch.

The screen has made a significant difference temperature wise.

I have 2 sets of windows that I will definitely be buying for next as the season is coming to an end.

Very easy to install and comes with everything you need.

Very happy with the product, definitely a thumbs up 👍🏻

No longer feels like an oven.

Love our new screens that we installed over a large sky light and rooftop hatch.

Love that you can still see through both as well.

Very easy to install.

Excellent Quality
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

My experience with EZ Snap skylight screens was excellent at every stage of the process.

Instructions from the website for calculating exactly which kit I would need were clear and very helpful, ordering from the website was easy and secure, I received my order in less than 48 hours and the installation instructions that arrived with my order were simple and exact.

I had four skylights to cover and took the time to follow the installation instructions carefully.

Moreover, the quality of all of the materials (screen and studs) is excellent. Suffice to say, I am absolutely thrilled with the results.

I chose the black screen colour which does not block my view but significantly reduces the solar heat entering my home.

I am a short in height and very small in size woman who handled this project alone and with ease.

Thank you for your product and excellent service as I now have a cooler home in summer and have completed a job that looks excellent from the outside and inside of my home.

Easy to cut and install.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Easy to cut and install.

Helps to use an 8mm socket to press the pins on top of the studs. Saves your fingers some pain.

I installed them myself on my two skylights. 3 weeks later, still intact.

Uninsulated Sunroom
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I ordered the EZ Snap screening to cut down on the heat in my sunroom, which has a row of six 2 X 5 ft skylights.

The room is uninsulated, so it's going to be hot in there on a hot day no matter what, but it gets up to almost 120 degrees on a sunny summer day with nothing covering the skylights.

In the past, I've strung fabric on tension rods to act as curtains, and that helped to keep it in the 90s.

I was hoping the EZ Snap screens would be even better, since they (supposedly) keep the heat from coming through the glass in the first place, but it still gets to almost 110 in there after putting the screens on (which took me hours up on the roof).

I'm disappointed that they don't do a better job than the fabric that I was putting on the inside of the glass. Maybe if I use both it will keep it more tolerable in there.

[email protected]

EZ Snap® Team - Thanks for your comments Mel. Exterior Shades are far more efficient than Interior Shades. In your case, however, the uninsulated roof in direct sun is likely erasing any efficiency gained from the Exterior Shades.

Our rooms are at least 10 degrees cooler.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

My husband and I moved into a manufactured home in March. It has 3 skylights. They were great in the winter, with the sun coming in and heating up our rooms.

When summer came with 90 degree temps, the skylights weren’t so great. Our house was so hot, and our air conditioner could barely keep up.

I did research and found the EZ Snap company.

We ordered screens for all 3 skylights. We love them!! They let the light in, but keep the heat out.

Our rooms are at least 10 degrees cooler. It is such a big difference.

When it’s 90 outside, our house is a comfortable 72. It used to be close to 80 degrees inside.

EZ Snap products really work. We are telling all of our friends.

Thanks EZ Snap,

Saving about $40 a month on electricity.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I installed EZ Snap on two 9’ long by 3’ skylights, 16” roof truss, using the 10’ Exterior Skylight Shade Kit. I folded the 6’ wide fabric in half and cut it 10’ long, 3’ wide, using the fabric cutter.

Then I got on the roof, installed the suction cups with a circle of clear caulking, down the middle of the concave skylight each a foot apart. I let that dry for 12 hours and the next day I put the fabric over the skylight with a little bit hanging down at the bottom of the skylight closest to the eves trough and had most of the excess fabric at the top so it wouldn’t roll off the roof.

I had prepared the studs by removing the wax paper and spinning the self-tapping screws in the stud. This way you can hold the stud and spin the self-tapping screw. Next | got on the roof with my impact driver, Phillips bit, should be using Robinson self-tapping screws from Canada they stay on the bit much better. Then I self-tapped the two bottom corner studs and one in the center of the bottom. Then I started on the sides, starting at the top corner working my way down using the length of the impact driver as a measuring tool, 8” to 10”, keeping the fabric centered on both sides. After installing a stud I would snap the pin over the stud, snug up the fabric over the pin and cap it.

We have had winds since installation that have blown the shingles off the neighbours roof but the product has had no damage. We have had hail, rain and a few hot days.

The product reduces the UV inside over 90%, we can now sit on the couch in direct sunlight without getting a suntan or needing to wear a baseball cap. It’s like being in the shade under a tree.

Previous years we needed to install a portable, 11,000 BTU air conditioner but not this year, saving about $40 a month on electricity.

26 years in this house and we can’t believe we lived here this long without this product.

Now we'll pop off the pins in the fall, when the temperatures hit zero C and store the fabric inside till it warms up in the spring. Then up on the roof in the spring and re-install the fabric by popping the pins back on the studs.

Great product and the neighbours keep asking what is that?

Thanks

Relief at last!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight shade

We have an 11x12 sunroof over the centre of our house. Room is a fitness room/grandkid's playroom. The room gets so hot in the summer it is unusable.

We got quotes for an interior blind system but $5000 wasn't going to work for us! We found EZ Snap online and it was the best money we have ever spent!

The room is 10 degrees cooler and now pleasant to be in.

I can't say enough about the excellent customer service from Troy, the fast shipping and delivery to our door, the quality product and the ease to install it.

A BIG recommendation from me! THANK YOU!

EZ Snap Product: skylight shade

I wanted to wait until the sun was close to it's highest point to access the effectiveness and must say I'm very impressed with the results.

My only complaint would be regarding pricing/invoicing. My invoice including applicable taxes was as expected but i used my MasterCard to purchase and was accessed U.S. exchange on my monies, A - not reflected on my invoice... B - not clearly indicated as U.S. Funds on the website.

Otherwise keeping it cool.

Skylight Shade Installation was a Breeze
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

As a child I always looked forward to the warm weather. However, as an adult and the owner of a home with sky lights, the summer months were dreadfully uncomfortable... not to mention extremely expensive when running the air conditioner nonstop from May through late September!

After looking through dozens of expensive alternatives I stumbled onto an advertisement for the EZ Snap Skylight Shades and figured I'd give it a try.

Not only was the customer service extremely helpful when choosing what kit to order but the installation was a breeze!

Now instead of living like an ant under a magnifying glass in my own home I finally get to enjoy the summer months again and start saving money on my electric bill!

Perfect room darkener for bedroom skylight
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

We have a skylight in my daughter's bedroom, which let in too much light to let them sleep.



We used to have a room darkener fabric attached by velcro to cover the skylight area from the interior. It didn't look great, and it started falling down.



Thankfully with some quick research online, I found this fabulous product. We got the room darkening product by notating it in the order notes.



It's the ideal solution - it was inexpensive, provided room darkening and room cooling for a bedroom that has a skylight that the previous owner's of the house installed. Plus, it was really easy to install!

EZ Snap Skylight Shade Review Photos
Just thought you’d like to see a few photos of my installation.

I got up early while it was still cool and it only took me about 15 minutes to put the fabric on by myself. I had installed the studs a few days earlier...

It was a lot easier than I thought.

We have a hot week ahead of us so am looking forward to seeing how they perform.

Update…

Our sunroom had been getting over 30C on hot days. With the covers in place it hasn’t been over 24C so they have reduced the heat entering considerably.

I wish I would have installed them years ago.

Super glad we did this and highly recommend it.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Our kitchen has a number of southern facing windows plus skylights. When the outside temperature got more than 90 degrees - the kitchen would get into the high 80’s. We ordered enough for two skylights and four windows with the EZ Snap system. Shipping was super fast and the packaging was well done.

EZ Snap Skylight Shade Review ThermometerThe system was super simple to install. The install took about two hours, including going up and down on the roof.

After we installed, the temperature in the kitchen stayed in the 70’s even as it got to 90 degrees outside— a 10+ degree different. Take a look at the picture - you can see the outside temp is 93 degrees, while it is a cool 76 degrees inside.

Three pieces of advice:

1. Take your time and measure, re-measure to make sure you get it right.

2. Layout your screen in the same way you would cut wood or fabric to minimize waste. (Google "wood cutout program free” to find to free programs to do that.) With the best layout, you can buy exactly what you need with very little scraps.

3. If you are doing multiple side-by-side windows, line up the snaps on each window so that they are uniform and in the same location across the windows as you look at them. Makes the install that much more professional.

Super glad we did this and highly recommend it.

Successful Commercial Project in Downtown Milwaukee
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

I purchased the EZ SNAP for the first time as I had a Commercial Project in Downtown Milwaukee on a Large 14' X 14' Sky Light. The applications was simple just by following directions.

EZ Snap Shade Mesh on Pyramid Skylight from Jerry Hoeppner
I made a template to allow for all of the snaps to be uniformly placed, used the supplied cleaner and applied all of the 3M self-adhesive rivets, waited 3 days for curing and returned to measured out the screening, applied the snaps, and press into place.

The customer has never used the conference room that the sky light was placed over until I was complete, the heat reduction and the lack of glare made the conference room usable.

As a Salesman and Installer I would use EZ SNAP again!

Please see the attachments of pictures that follow the steps I mentioned above.

A Breeze to Install on Skylights
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Ez Snap was the perfect solution for our home-office skylights.

Before installing the EZ Snap shades, the room had so much glare it was impossible to see the computer monitor, even with sunglasses on. Plus it was so hot we wouldn't want to be in the room anyways.

EZ Snap was a breeze to install and the sales/customer service team was super helpful when I called for help deciding which size to buy.

I'd recommend it to anyone with skylights in their home.

The ONLY issue I had, was I dropped two of the anchor caps which rolled off the roof!

EZ Snap your product is saving me money!

The heat stopping ability of your screen has changed how we use our house.

We have 3 rooms that used to be so hot, we could not completely utilize them.

Your heat reducing screen has allowed us to now enjoy activity in these spaces.

We covered three skylights, a set of French doors ( facing south) and all the south facing windows.

We still enjoy the view from the windows and the added bonus is, the daytime privacy the screen provides.

We tested your product on one east facing window and were impressed enough to purchase enough for the south windows.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

I was very skeptical at first if the EZ Snap system would satisfy our needs.

The skylights in our kitchen caused about a 10 degree difference in cooling compared to the rest of the house.

My wife wanted to have remote control blinds installed but knowing I would have to do the install caused me to do a bit more investigating for another solution. At a fraction of the price of blinds, I decided to purchase and install the EZ Snap system.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Not only is our kitchen much cooler, but you can also see through the screens.

We love our EZ Snap shades. So much so, that we made a second order to shade additional windows.

We have five skylights and two very large windows in our great room. The shades work great.

They are easy to install and give the shade we need. And still have the ability to look out them with the same amount of visibility before they were installed.

We have noticed how much cooler it is in our great room this summer with them in than last year.

I highly recommend EZ Snap shades.

WOW! Just as Advertised...

I bought EZ Snap screens to cover 2 sky lights in my kitchen roof.

Here in Philadelphia, having sun light and it's warmth in the kitchen is a huge benefit in the cooler seasons, BUT, we were roasting as the sun passed right over these windows this summer. We even had chocolate melt on the kitchen counter!

We found ourselves avoiding the kitchen midday because it was soooo hot. Yikes!

Receiving the EZ Snap screening and 'snaps', I waited until the cooler early morning (as recommended in the installation instructions), and crawled out our second story window onto the kitchen roof and completed the installation before the sun was up. It wasn't difficult. It took some finger strength, and in my case, a bit of balancing on the incline of the roof but what an INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE these EZ Snap screens have made.

WOW! Just as advertised, we see out, the light comes through but the overpowering heat is gone!

The kitchen feels warm but (I wish I had documented some is the pre EZ Snap kitchen temperatures) NOT hot.
I could not be happier with this product. It is truly amazing what a difference it has made in our house (and electric bill!).

Thank you, EZ Snap!

Ehhh...

Easy to install but not worth the cost. I spent $200 hoping that it would be half as effective at blocking the sun and heat as the website claims and I am disappointed. My home is just as hot and this material is not effective at blocking heat whatsoever. If you're looking to reduce AC costs, move to a new house. Don't buy this unless your goal is reduce the amount of light in the room by a small amount. House was 86° before they were installed on a hot day and its 86° with them installed on a hot day. I don't find that they were worth the money and I'm more disappointed because the only way to find out is to cut the material and render it "non returnable". I would return it and send it back if I was able. That would be the way for ez-snap to redeem themselves. Since they posted that their material, which is very similar to the material you put inside your silverware drawer, is 7 times more effective than sun shades and UV tint. My 86° house and I beg to differ.

All in all I gave 2 stars because the snaps work and it's reasonably easy to install but does not
Help against a hot house. Granted maybe I need more vents or something but don't advertise to give everyone the false hope that one size fits all and your house is going to be cooler if you spend hundreds of dollars on plastic snaps and silverware drawer fabric. It's borderline false advertising.

EZ Snap® Team - Thank you for your feedback regarding your EZ Snap install. When we first read your comments, we were perplexed as to why you said there was"no heat reduction in the house" after your install. When we did more research on your application and your specific install, it became clear as to what was happening. You had only ordered a 10 foot kit, but your room has many large windows and multiple skylights that directly face the sun. The number of windows you have and their exposure to the sun, create a very large surface area of heat loading on your house. Covering just a small amount of those skylights or windows with your 10 foot kit will not help enough to make a major difference if the majority of your glass is still exposed to the sun. Here is a link to an informative article from GreenBuildingAdvisor.com ( <a href="http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/musings/calculating-cooling-loads">www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/musings/calculating-cooling-loads</a> ) that details calculating your homes cooling load requirements. This article is written about calculating a cooling load as it relates to choosing the proper size air conditioner, but all the same considerations apply when using an exterior shade screen to cool the home. We know that EZ Snap will make a substantial reduction in the heat loading caused by your windows and skylights if you cover the majority of the ones that are allowing heat to enter your home. The physics of shading and the thousands of happy, cooler, EZ Snap customers can't be wrong. P.S. - We can also assure you that the EZ Snap mesh is a long way from being "Silverware drawer liner" to use your words. A lot of research and development has gone into creating the EZ Snap shading mesh to give it the properties and performance that it has. Presently, a number of our shading kit sizes are currently on sale, so this would be a great time to cover the rest of those exposed windows.

System has worked perfectly for several years

We live in Santa Fe, NM, at an elevation of 7500 feet—very close to the sun!

Our Pueblo-style, double-wall adobe house has a flat roof, and 15 skylights. What it doesn’t have is air-conditioning! In the summer, our house gets very warm, as you might imagine.

After living with the problem for a few years, we finally got desperate! We bought some shade screening at Home Depot, and cut it to fit over each of the skylights. Originally we used bricks to anchor the loose netting to the roof, but it was damaging the roof so we needed another solution.

After reading about your product online, we decided to give it a try—what did we have to lose?! We used your products (the EZ snaps) on the metal frames of the skylights, about 12” apart, and then stretched the screening and anchored it onto the snaps.

This system has worked perfectly for several years, and my husband continues to be impressed at my resourcefulness!

It is so easy to remove the screening in the late fall, and reattach it in the spring—your product makes our home so much more comfortable, I can’t imagine being without EZ Snaps!

EZ Snap™ Team - Happy to hear about your success. Thanks for your feedback.

Awesome Product Well Worth the Money!

Ken B's Skylight Shade View from InsideJust finished installing my Sun Shades on my two sky lights and I can't say enough good things about them.

I am really picky when it comes to products I use on my home. This product is fantastic.

Installation was very simple and the improvement was immediate. No more heat build up coming through my sky lights yet I can see through them just as the product advertised.

Can't wait to spread the word.

Thanks KB

EZ Snap™ Team - Great feedback Ken. We appreciate your support.

Substantial Heat Reduction
EZ Snap Product: Skylight & Window Shades

I used the 3M EZ Snap Studs and shade cloth to cover 2 skylights in the bathroom off our bedroom. The heat reduction has been substantial and the A/C is not coming on near as much.

There was hardly any change in the light coming in, in our opinion.

I had extra EZ Snap shade cloth and so we decided to cover a large southwest-facing dining room window. (I was able to purchase additional E-Z Snap connectors in the accessories section of the EZ Snap online store.)

We are so happy with the results, that we have re-ordered so we can do more windows. I’m now able to keep my blinds open this summer to admire our beautiful view, without so much heat pouring in.

Great Product, glad I found it.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

My husband attached it on the outside of our skylights, my kitchen window and the living room. This helps to alleviate a lot of the extra heat from the intensity of the summer sun. We are very happy with this product. Would very much recommend it to other.

Saved me money and damage to my furniture.
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

Trying to find a solution for our skylights....$900 to get the shades with solar remotes seemed too perfect solution, but very high cost.

Came across information about this material that seemed too good to be true....keeps the view and stops the heat before it ever hit the window!

Just put the fabric over the skylight a week ago....the four season room was starting to heat up and the air conditioning could not keep up, since it had no return air in the room.

Very happy to report its doing a great job....and using the snaps made install pretty easy. Will post pics as well if this will let me.

VERY pleased at this point....room is getting light the furniture is not hot in the least...it's all working so far!

Looking forward to lower electric bills
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

To EZ Snap Direct, We live in a part of Oregon that gets very hot in the summer. Our home has three big skylights in the living room and this time of year the sun streams right in and heats up the house so much that we could not get the house cooled down…

…even running the air conditioner all day and all night. We got three 6x6 skylight shade kits and installed them easily last weekend. For the first time, it is 98º outside and a cool 75º inside. We are also looking forward to lower electricity bills.

Thanks for an affordable and really effective product.

WOW!!
EZ Snap Product: Skylight Shades

WOW!! I have two sky lights I bought your product for. They are side by side and identical. I used two thermometers, one under each skylight to see what the difference would be with and without the EZ Snap mesh…



…Before I installed the mesh one one of the skylights, each thermometer read 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It should be noted that it was 12:20 Noon with no clouds.I then installed the EZ Snap mesh on one of the skylights and waited an hour before checking the thermometers. The one without the shade screen still read 120 degrees, but the one with the EZ Snap had dropped down to 85 degrees.



We obviously have since installed it on both skylights as well as a bay window in the bedroom. BIG difference to the comfort of our home now.I would recommend these skylight blinds to anyone with problem sky lights.
Thanks Again!
