Skylight Shade

I see there are many shades out there for the normal size vents but has anyone found a good one to use on the shower skylight? Most all the ones I have seen are 14x19 and the skylight is 14 x22 if I remember right. I can easily modify something but thought I would ask here first.

We pulled the interior assembly and covered it with some faux stained glass, very nice

I was thinking of the same idea but thought I would ask first. Well... It worked perfect and I also painted the back side of the plastic housing black so no light comes through the plastic either. Another issue was that my wife sleeps a bit later and the light always comes in around the end of the blinds right into the head of the bed so we came up with a solution for that also.

I don't like to use this word to often since I am a builder but Home Depot carries this stuff. You can find lots of it on Amazon also. We just ordered a larger piece for the bathroom door glass. Not sure why they decided on glass in that door but this will help.

Nice job Steve, can,t wait to see the modifications. Char your like me the light always sneaks in and right into my face. When we looked at the fb model Linda didn't like the glass in the bathroom door either. It's like being in a petrie dish.

I'm keeping an eye on the weight as I do things but maybe by next year you will see a third axle under it!

Steve,
Is your shower skylight textured? I ordered some film online from Home Depot and after I received it, it said that it will not work on textured glass.

I'm wondering if I ordered the wrong thing now.

Steve, thanks for the suggestion

I agree, way too much sunlight comes through the bath / shower skylight

Found a similar material and installed, looks great, works great

The topside of the inside skylight cover is smooth and not textured, that is where I put the film
