Description
Designed to accommodate simple window shapes, the fabric of the Skysol Pleatedshade ensures a relaxing ambience on board your yacht thanks to its soft light filtering. Available in white, beige and light grey, the Skysol Pleatedshade is easy to use and the ideal solution for saloon windows. If you're searching for a blind for your portlight, where limited space for fitting above the portlight is often an issue, the optional frame fix enables installation onto the portlight itself. This also means that the Skysol Pleatedshade is positioned away from the portlight window, ensuring easy operation.
Choose from standard sizes or request a custom design.
The hardware is available in white, beige or silver. The fabric colour is solar white.
Common Questions
Add FAQs for blinds
Anodising and powder-coating are both surface-protection finishes but where anodising becomes part of the aluminium, powder-coating sits on top of it.
Anodising is best for long-term marine exposure. It is an electrochemical process that hardens the aluminium surface itself. It doesn’t add a coating; it transforms the outer layer of the metal into a dense, corrosion-resistant oxide.
This provides superior corrosion resistance, excellent durability and low maintenance. Because it doesn’t add a coating, all welds and natural aluminium imperfections can be seen.
Anodising is the finish used on most high-quality marine hardware because it stays stable even when the surface gets scratched — the oxide layer simply reforms.
Powder-coating gives a nice, smooth appearance that covers welds and natural metal imperfections but is less ideal for harsh marine exposure.
Powder-coating is a paint-like layer baked onto the surface. It provides colour and a smooth cosmetic finish, but it is still a coating sitting on top of the aluminium.

Yes, in some circumstances.
Weaver produced several different models of hatch.
If your Weaver hatch has welded hinges and a low profile, many of our Cule hatches will be a direct replacement.
If your Weaver hatch has black friction hinges and a higher upstand, we will have similar sized hatches, but they are not a direct replacement. We can still assist but we need to discuss first.
