What Are Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades?
Nothing is more effective than Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades for superior light control and privacy management. This innovative design provides a variety of shade positions to suit the changing needs of your home. For instance, you can raise the shades from the bottom or lower them from the top, simultaneously allowing for privacy and light when and where you need it.
This feature is perfect for bathrooms, so you can lower the top so that light pours in while the bottom half of the window is covered for privacy. For rooms that don’t require the same level of seclusion, you can lower the top and raise the bottom simultaneously, allowing even more light to enter the space. Or you can close your window treatment entirely for room darkening privacy.
Ida & Norma's Draperies is proud to carry a variety of top-down bottom-up shades from Hunter Douglas. Here, we will discuss their shared benefits and individual features.
The Benefits of Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades
- Versatile Light and Privacy Control: With regular shades, you can only control the light and privacy from the bottom, meaning that you must raise the shade in its entirety to have light enter from above. Top-Down Bottom-Up shades offer more light management possibilities. When you want your home warm in the winter, lower the top so that the sun can enter, filling your room with light and UV energy. When you want to enjoy a fresh breeze in the summer, raise the bottom and lower the top so that air circulates and light enters.
- Versatile View: You can control Top-Down Bottom-Up shades from both top and bottom; this provides various viewing options. If you want a view from the bottom, raise the shade. If you want a view from the top, lower the shade. It's that simple. You can even have both ends meet in the middle, depending on your preference.
Our Selection of Hunter Douglas Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades
- Duette® Cellular Shades are one of our favorite versatile shading solutions. The insulating honeycomb design will keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. You can opt for three pleat sizes —⅜", ¾," or 1 ¼" and a vast selection of luxurious fabrics. If you need a quiet room for rest or work, these shades have ultimate sound absorption.
- Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades are perfect to add texture and depth to your room. We offer these top-down bottom-up roller shades in a generous selection of exclusive, globally sourced woven fabrics, and you can opt for three different opacities: sheer, semi-sheer, and semi-opaque.
- Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are an excellent choice if you want more of an organic look. They are crafted and artistically woven from woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo. You can select from over 80 fabric selections to find top-down bottom- up window shades that fit your aesthetic style.
- Vignette® Roman Shades are modern Roman shades that are seamlessly tailored and full of flat folds. You can opt for two styles: rolling or stacking, depending on your preference. They are also very energy efficient and come with room-darkening fabrics as well.
