Shade the skylight
from outside.
A skylight faces straight up at the sun — the hottest glass in the house. EZ Snap® Thermo Weave snaps over it from the outside and blocks up to 90% of that heat before it reaches the glass. No drilling, no seal damage.
A skylight points straight at the sun.
No other glass in the house takes the sun head-on the way a skylight does. Interior skylight covers are hard to reach, and they trap that heat against the glass once it's already inside. An exterior shade stops it on the roof, before it ever becomes heat in the room — the U.S. Department of Energy rates exterior shading the most effective way to cut solar heat gain.
And because the studs bond to the curb instead of the glass, there's no drilling and no risk to the skylight's seal.

Do skylights really add that much heat?
A skylight faces straight up and takes the sun head-on, so it's usually the hottest glass in the house. An exterior solar screen stops that heat on the roof before it reaches the glass — the U.S. Department of Energy rates exterior shading the most effective way to cut solar heat gain.
Will it damage the skylight or its seal?
No. The EZ Snap studs bond to the skylight curb or frame with 3M™ VHB — not to the glass — so there's no drilling and no risk to the skylight's seal.
Black or white mesh for a skylight?
Black blocks up to ~90% of the heat and is what most skylight owners pick. White is a more open weave — it keeps the room brighter under the skylight, with less heat blocked.
Does it fit dome, bubble or pyramid skylights?
Yes. The mesh is 6 ft wide and cut to fit, so it works on flat, pitched, curb-mounted, dome and pyramid skylights — and a single run can cover a whole row of them.
Can I take it off in winter?
Yes. Unsnap the mesh, roll it, and store it — the studs stay put, so you can snap it back when the sun returns. Free shipping over $225.
