What is the Skyline Retractable Shades?
Skyline Retractable Shades are a motorised, 100% retractable shade system modified for Singapore's climate. It provides superior heat and glare reduction for a wide range of spaces: under existing glass skylights and glass roofs, over patios and courtyards, or as a free-standing, self-supporting pergola structure.
Each Skyline system is powered by a Somfy heavy-duty motor from France and controlled by remote. A premium aluminium extrusion cassette protects the mechanism and fabric when retracted and gives the installation an elegant, high-end finish.
Skyline comes in three types so you can match the system to the space: Honeycomb Skyline for insulating, light-filtering skylight shading, Aluminium Skyline for a sleek, modern streamlined look, and Fabric Skyline for maximum coverage with breathable, waterproof technical fabric.

Skyline FAQs
What are Skyline Retractable Shades?
Skyline Retractable Shades are a motorised retractable shade system that extends and retracts along guide rails. It can be installed under an existing glass skylight to reduce heat and glare, or as a self-supporting structure over a patio.
Which Skyline type should I choose?
Choose Honeycomb Skyline for insulating, light-filtering shade under glass; Aluminium Skyline for a sleek, architectural look; and Fabric Skyline for the widest coverage with waterproof, breathable fabric. We will recommend the best option on site.
Can Skyline reduce heat from my glass roof?
Yes. Shading the glass blocks a large share of direct solar heat and glare before it reaches the room, making spaces under skylights much more comfortable.
