ABSTRACT:
A skylight shutter mechanism includes a box which preserves the structural vapor barrier and houses a moveable shutter which extends into and closes a light well of an associated skylight. The skylight shutter mechanism is provided for installation between rafters or ceiling joists of the ceiling containing the skylight. The shutter mechanism is preferably installed in new construction before walls and ceilings are finished. The shutter is manually moveable along cooperating rails by an actuating cord having ends which can be located remote from the skylight. To accommodate inclined mounting surfaces, a mechanism is provided for maintaining the shutter in a selected position. The shutter may be opaque and insulating or translucent. Also the operation of the shutter may be conveniently motorized.
