Top Down Bottom Up window coverings give homeowners precise control over light, privacy, and protection from the sun’s harmful rays. These innovative window coverings let you lower the top for soft, filtered light while keeping the bottom closed for privacy—or raise the bottom for full natural light. Many styles also include a sheer shade option, adding UV protection while maintaining a bright, airy atmosphere. Perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where light and comfort matter.
How Top Down Bottom Up Window Coverings Work
- Move the shade independently from the top or bottom of the window
- Enjoy natural light from above while maintaining privacy below
- Compatible with honeycomb shades from brands such as Hunter Douglas, Alta and Graber
- Sheer shade option reduces UV damage to furniture, flooring, and interiors

Daylighting
Natural light crosses the ceiling and illuminates the space. This is called daylighting, and it’s a well-loved feature of top down shades. Just by lowering your shades from the top, you can have all the benefits of covered windows while enjoying mood-boosting sunshine. Reduced glare, no direct rays in your eyes, privacy and energy savings.
Privacy
Just because you have street-level traffic outside your windows, doesn’t mean you have to give up privacy. Not only that, but you don’t have to give up your sky views or natural light, either. Bring the shades down enough that you can have the best of both worlds–a cozy, private feeling on the inside with natural light that easily puts you in a good mood.


Custom Adjustments
Put your shades right where you need them when you combine the Top Down/ Bottom Up feature with PowerView Motorization. Lower from the top. Raise from the bottom. Lower from the top AND raise from the bottom. It’s customization at each and every window that makes these shades so unique. You design the way your room looks and feels. Experience a personalized atmosphere you will love!
