Top Down Bottom Up Shades: Innovative Control

The outdoors can be gorgeous this time of year, but the season can be less kind to your indoor spaces. That beautiful natural light means you could have glare and issues with overheating, and all that extra foot traffic outside can make it hard to feel like you’ve got your privacy. An upgrade to top down bottom up shades gives you control to get the best of Mother Nature, without all the headaches! You’ll love the simplicity of this versatile solution!

 

Keep Temperatures Even

We’re all ready to get some warm sunshine, but too much direct light can cause areas of your home to heat up. As temperatures rise, your A/C will be working over time! Top down bottom up shades can help you keep your living spaces comfortable all day long.

Get just the right amount of sunlight from the top or bottom of your shades, and block the rest, adding energy efficiency to your window shades. Don’t get overwhelmed by your natural light! Easy to adjust shades give you the control to create the perfect balance of shade and light.

 

Glare and UV Rays

Another problem–when sunlight becomes overbearing–is glare. Unmanaged direct light bounces around your room, causing annoying glare that makes it difficult to enjoy your space. It will send you running for another room! All that light is full of harmful UV rays that can damage your furniture, dull fabrics, and even diminish your wall colors!

With top down bottom up shades, you have an easy solution. Lower the top while keeping the bottom in place to spread light evenly along the ceiling. You’ll get a welcoming glow without feeling blinded. And because your interiors will no longer receive harsh, direct light, you’ll be preserving your furnishings and decor.

 

Keeping Your Privacy

When you’re ready for some privacy, all the extra outdoor bustle can be a concern. Make sure you keep wandering eyes from intruding on your alone time! Top down bottom up shades are perfect for controlling the view you get from inside, and the view your neighbors get from outside!
