I’m
thinking of covering a skylight with the Cocoon 3/8" Single Cell Blackout Skytrack Skylight blind. The skylight is deeply recessed, so what I
would be covering is an opening in the flat part of the ceiling. The span
is only 17” wide. With the tracks on the sides, could this blind be
mounted horizontally in the ceiling opening without sagging?

Hi Ron,
your question! You’ll be happy to learn that a Cocoon 3/8” Single Cell Blackout Skytrack Skylight will fit perfectly into your skylight without sagging at all.
When skylight shades exceed 30”, they have a visible cord
running down the center to help hold them in place. Since yours is well under
the 30” you will be fine. Bali’s Cocoon shade
is an excellent option for a skylight because it allows you to block all light
if you need to, open it partially for a touch of sun, or let the sun shine in
by opening it completely. You’ll enjoy the flexibility it allows you, it’s of
great quality so it will last you forever, and it looks fantastic.
