Product overview
About this product
Hexacell SkyLite MAX extends the manual SkyLite approach to longer openings. It uses a Type B frame and a configuration selected around the required travel. It is worth considering where a standard SkyLite drop is insufficient and manual operation remains practical.
A long opening makes access to the operating rails especially important. We look at where you can stand, the direction of movement and how the fabric will be arranged. A motorised roof system may be a better choice if a pole would be awkward to use.
The frame and cloth must be considered as a complete assembly. Joined side channels are used for longer drops. Width also matters: increasing it can introduce more fabric sag and rail bowing, so unusual dimensions need a specific assessment.
Check the whole opening
Send a sketch with width and length clearly marked, alongside photographs from each end. If the opening is sloping or has stepped reveals, include that detail. It affects the available rectangle, fixing surfaces and how the finished blind will sit.
Choose a realistic manual arrangement
A product may fit the dimensions yet be inconvenient to use. We assess access with the room in mind, including the furniture, pole storage and a safe standing position. You can compare G1 options if powered operation is more suitable.
