EZ Snap® Skylight Shades fit all makes and models of Skylights.
Skylights typically face the sun directly, and so much more heat is able to enter the home than on a side window of the same size. Many skylights lack the insulating value that residential windows have. Skylights act more like a magnifying glass than windows do.
Whether you need shades for 1 skylight or 20, EZ Snap® has a kit to fit your project.
Because EZ Snap® mesh is a non-fray material, it can be cut to size right on-site to fit any size or shape of skylight.
Perfect for flat glass or curved plastic domed skylights. EZ Snap skylight blinds and covers are used extensively for large commercial triangle shaped skylights as well.
EZ Snap® is the best solution when interior skylight blinds are not available or simply just too expensive for your budget.
These amazing “No-Drill” Snaps allow the average do-it-yourselfer to install Exterior Shade Screens with no experience and without specialized tools… Making it easy for you to have professional-looking results every time.
3M Adhesive Studs stick well on smooth, flat, non-textured surfaces such as vinyl skylight frames, aluminum, plastic, and fibreglass.
The EZ Snap® caps and pins are what make EZ Snap® so easy to install.
The proprietary encapsulated Thermo-Weave™ shading mesh may be cut to any size or shape without the need for hemming or binding the cut edges.
This unique shade cloth, developed by EZ Snap®, allows the “Do-it-Yourselfer” to create professional-looking finished shade screens without any need for expensive tools or high priced professional upholsterers.
Our exterior shade cloth blocks up to 90% of the sun’s heat and damaging U.V. rays.
When installed using the new EZ Snap fasteners, you are able to get professional, wrinkle free results every time.
EZ Snap® shading mesh as been specifically designed to work with the EZ Snap fastener system. Note: if you chose to use a fabric other than EZ Snap® shading mesh, it will void the fastener warranty.
Exterior shading places the Shade Mesh between the sun and the glass, stopping up to 90% of the heat before it enters the lens of the skylight. And, unlike tint or reflective film, does not damage the skylight or void your warranty.
Skylights and Windows are typically the source for up to 48% of the heat build up inside a home.
Skylight tinting or glass film are installed on the inside and reflect heat back into the skylights weather seal. This can damage the seal, causing it to expand and contract every time there is a temperature change. For example, cloud cover to full sun then back to cloud cover.
If this continual super-heating and cooling of the skylight’s seal causes it to fail. Moist, warm inside air then gets into the space between the layers of glass causing condensation and loss of the skylight’s insulation value or R Value.
To stop the heat properly you need to do it before the sun hits the skylight’s glass surface and frames outside. EZ Snap exterior shades do exactly that… and quickly pay for themselves through energy savings.
Many shade fabrics distort the view through them, making those shades hard to look through. EZ Snap designed our mesh using an optical grade weaving technology.
Optical Grade Shades by EZ Snap reduce distortion and weave variations. We believe a skylight shade should allow your skylight to do what it was intended to do. With EZ Snap installed, you will have lots of ambient light in your room while still blocking up to 90% of the sun’s heat and ultra violet rays.
Outdoor mounted skylight shades have been proven by the U.S Dept of Energy to be up to 7 times more effective than interior skylight blinds, shades or tinting on your skylight.

Block up to 90% of the sun’s heat.
A big box store skylight manufacturer tested the effectiveness of cheap skylight blinds to see how much extra heat exterior shade mesh would stop. Test results proved that heat gain was reduced by up to 40% (even on their best double sealed low-E skylight with an energy efficient glazing).
EZ Snap® skylight shade kits are the quickest and easiest way for you to block the sun’s heat from your skylight, without blocking the natural light.
Our 3M adhesive snaps save you from drilling holes into your skylights’ metal or vinyl frames.
Our skylight shade kits will fit any skylight from the smallest size skylight, all the way up to 6′ x 150′. For larger commercial installations, multiple pieces of shade material can be used together.
If you are installing on domed or plastic skylight, we recommend that you add some of our AirFlow suction cup spacers to your order.
For larger domed skylights, you may also want to add additional spacers to help retain an air gap over the entire surface of the skylight.
The plastic pin is inserted through your shading mesh and into the top of the suction cup to hold it in place.
AirFlow Spacers will add an additional 1″ gap between the skylight surface and the shading mesh, further improving the performance and durability of your installation.
Exterior Skylight Shades Block up to 90% the Sun outside, before the heat gets to the interior of your home or office.
EZ Snap® skylight covers install outside without screws. Using the EZ Snap® fastening system, you can install skylight solar shades to fit all sizes and brands of glass and acrylic skylights, including Velux and Columbia skylights.
Larger Shade Kits work well for projects that include multiple windows or skylights. Find the best kit using the EZ Snap® Kit Size Calculator.
The EZ Snap® Kit Size Calculator determines the best layout for your shades and then recommends the correct size Shade Kit for each project.
Remember to enter your email address to receive layout diagrams and snap counts for each window... very helpful for ordering and cutting before installation.
Windows may be rotated for efficient nesting of multiple Shades. Find the most efficient layout easily with the EZ Snap® Kit Size Calculator.

The Primer Pen is used for applications where it is necessary to increase the surface adhesion of the EZ Snap stud.
Contains a 3M Clear, Colorless primer. Enough to prime the surface area for approximately 50 studs.
To use: Shake the pen well before using.
A gentle squeeze 1″ in from the felt tip, ruptures the inner membrane, allowing the contents to be easily dispensed.
Apply a thin, uniform coating to the bonding surface using the minimum amount that will fully coat the surface.
Dries clear. Allow to dry thoroughly before applying the studs. This takes approximately 5 minutes at room temperature.
Extremely porous surfaces may need a second application for uniform coverage and good adhesion.
TIP: Make a template, cut-out to the same size as the stud.
This prevents wasting primer by only priming the area that the stud will bond to.
**As with all primer type products, test on small area first to ensure it is compatible with surface.

Place approximately 12 inches apart on the lens of the skylight.
AirFlo™ Spacers are recommended for all Dome Skylights or Skylights with Plastic Lens.
To use: Place the spacers approximately 12 inches apart or how every many
would be required to keep the mesh from laying on the skylight lens.
Why do we suggest the AirFlo Spacers: Many dome skylights are quality, "Made in America" skylights, but unfortunately there are
a lot of skylights on the market now that are made off-shore. In very hot weather, these poorly made skylight lens can develop crazing or imperfections in the
plastic of the skylight lens. This is caused by an excessive heat build-up in the sub-standard plastic lens.
The AirFlo™ spacers lift the shading mesh off of the lens of the skylight, allowing the excess heat to dissipate.
NOTE: Using AirFlo Spacers will slightly increase the size of the dimensions of the shading mesh you will need.
If you are confident that you have a quality built dome skylight, then these spacers
are probably not necessary for your project, but if you are unsure, better to be safe than sorry.
