Motorised Skylight Shades

Standard roller blinds sag under gravity when mounted on an angle or overhead. Skylights and angled glazing need tensioned shades, where the fabric is held under spring tension between the headrail and a footrail at the opposite end, so the blind stays perfectly flat regardless of orientation.

Formwave is a Dublin-based motorised shading specialist serving residential clients across Ireland. We measure on site, supply, install and commission tensioned skylight shades end to end.

The tensioned shade range

• Lutron Sivoia QS Tension Blinds. The flagship motorised tensioned shade system, engineered for skylights, sloped glazing, atrium windows and unusual architectural openings.

When tensioned shades work

Tensioned shades are essential anywhere a standard roller would sag: Velux roof lights, kitchen rooflights, glazed atriums, sloped attic windows, bespoke architectural openings. They can be specified in light-filtering or blackout fabric depending on whether the room needs dim daylight or full light exclusion.

We need your dimensions to quote

Tensioned shades are made to measure. We need the window dimensions (width and drop), the angle from horizontal, mounting surface details and fabric preference before we can price. Site measure surveys are available across Dublin and the rest of Ireland.
