Roll-A-Cover Motorized Skylight Transforms Shippy’s in Southampton, NY

Shippy’s, a beloved staple in Southampton, NY, just elevated its dining experience with the installation of a Roll-A-Cover retractable skylight. Shippy’s was ready to take things to the next level. The goal? To create a space that lets in natural light and fresh air when the weather is perfect, while still offering protection from the elements when needed. That’s where Roll-A-Cover stepped in.

Project Specs:

• Frame Finish: Bronze anodized aluminum for a sleek, timeless look that complements Shippy’s existing architecture.

• Roof Glazing: A durable 3/8” clear monolithic polycarbonate over a 10mm bronze-tinted multi-wall polycarbonate system — delivering exceptional clarity, strength, and UV protection.

• Operation: Fully motorized, allowing staff to easily open or close the skylight with the push of a button.

Why It Works

The motorized skylight does more than just improve aesthetics, it also dramatically enhances the functionality of the space. Guests can now enjoy an open-air dining experience on beautiful days. Additionally, the retractable feature ensures comfort and continuity during unpredictable weather.

The roof fills the space with natural light, which creates an inviting ambiance during daytime hours and a stunning view of the stars after sunset.This sets Shippy’s apart from other restaurants in the area.
