How Do Top-Down/Bottom-Up Window Treatments Work?

The Top-Down/Bottom-Up feature is a clever control option for window treatments. It lets you open them from the top or the bottom or use both for your ideal light and privacy needs. These selections allow you to customize your home's light balance and privacy to meet your needs.

Benefits of the Hunter Douglas Top-Down/Bottom-Up System

Here are a few advantages of the Hunter Douglas Top-Down/Bottom-Up system:

  • Control light and privacy independently, which is desirable as light direction changes throughout the day.
  • Let in light from the top while covering the bottom and vice-versa.
  • Upgrade maintains privacy while still allowing light in.
  • Make it easy to open the top of the shade to let in heat when it’s cold out.
