Skylight Roman Chain System is a skylight covering solution that blends the elegance of a Roman shade with a familiar and practical chain operational mechanism. Like other skylight systems, it is specially designed with a tension system consisting of steel cables on both sides. This crucial system serves to counteract gravity, ensuring the fabric remains taut, flat, and does not sag when installed in a horizontal or angled position. Operation is performed by pulling the continuous loop chain that hangs from one side of the skylight. Pulling the chain rotates a gear mechanism inside the headrail, which in turn pulls the internal cords to gather the fabric into the neat, characteristic folds of a Roman shade. Although practical, this chain system is most ideal for small to medium-sized skylights, as the strong tension system can make operation feel heavier compared to a crank system which possesses a greater mechanical advantage. Overall, this system offers an effective balance between decorative aesthetics and control simplicity for managing light and heat from your glass roof.
