Bathroom Skylight

Tinted our bathroom skylight today. Wow, cut the heat big time. I tinted all of our other windows last year. Heat heading to 110° this weekend. Bathroom was always a issue with heating the 5th wheel up. Still plenty of light to keep my sweetie happy. Should be a little cooler now. Bought the tint at Home Depot.

I never gave ours a chance to let heat in. When we brought the trailer home, I took the inside of the skylight down, put a sheet of Reflectix on it, and put it back. Voila! No more skylight! I had used block out fabric in the Jayco we had before the Cruiser.

What did you use to tint the skylight?

Hey Gary,

Sounds like a great idea. Is it a "peel & stick" tint for windows??

Thanks in Advance

Thanks Gary! Looks like I'll be making a trip to Home Depot

My windows came from the factory nicely tinted, but this is something I'd really like to do on the bathroom skylight. Just one more question.... did you apply it to the inside or outside of the skylight?

A little bit of redneck. Just holding it up with white duck tape. Lol... Want to take it down later this winter. The solar heat in winter is nice. Our windows were also tinted. Just needed a little extra to help cut the heat. It been over 100° to 115° here. With more to come.
