Top Down/Bottom Up
We all know about shades and blinds but it’s their features that set them apart. And a really cool feature of cellular shades is that they move down from the top and up from the bottom.
In case you don’t think this is any different from a regular shade, let me explain. When you are looking out the window, you can lower the shade to the bottom of the window and that creates privacy. But there is a separate set of cords that when you can’t see out, the shade will continue to lower down from the top and you can see out the top of the window but the bottom remains covered.
This is created with two cord systems and two headrails. One rail is mounted on the frame and always stays there. The other top rail holds the fabric firmly to keep it from sagging and that rail lowers the shade down from the top, staying attached to the top rail that is mounted on the frame with thin cords. The cords are very small and after the first week, you don’t notice them at all.
This feature can maintain privacy in your bedroom for example. The lower part of the window can be covered while you are dressing but you can still see the clouds and birds out the top of the window. It also gives you privacy while you are reading in the living room. The neighbors can’t see you so they aren’t waving to you as they walk their dog, but you get a great view of the trees and clouds. When you do want to wave to your neighbors, just raise the shade up with the stack entirely at the top and wave!
And now we can offer this top down/bottom up feature cordless. So when you raise the shade there isn’t a cord at the side getting longer for the cats to play with or the vacuum to suck up.
It is the little things, after all, that make the difference.
