Light Above.
Privacy Below.

Top-down bottom-up shades offer a lot of flexibility
and versatility – all in one window covering.
Now you don’t have to choose between privacy and letting natural light into the room. Top-down bottom-up
shades let you have both at the same time. These blinds can be raised from the bottom and lowered from
the top – so you can fully control privacy and light control. For example, if you want to let light in with a high
degree of privacy, leave the bottom of the shades closed and lower the top of the shades so light can come
in through the top of the window.

BandLift Top Down/Bottom Up
Choose your view. With our BandLift Top-Down/Bottom-Up option you can operate your shade from two different directions for more flexibility with light and privacy control.
-
Flexible views — open from either the top or bottom, depending on the time of day.
-
Control exactly how much light enters the room without sacrificing privacy.
-
Choose between blackout or light filtering fabrics to control the ambience.
-
Help maximize energy-efficiency by keeping the upper half closed in the summer to keep your room cool, and open in the winter to allow the sun to help warm up your space.
FOR THE ULTIMATE IN PRIVACY AND
LIGHTCONTROL
The ultimate in versatility, Top-Down/Bottom-Up
window shades and shadings offer you the ability to
operate window treatments (including Roman shades,
cellular honeycomb shades and woven wood shades)
from the top down, bottom up, or in combination to
meet all your privacy needs while still giving you
access to natural light.
Available with multiple operating systems including
manual or Motorization & Automation.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
TOP-DOWN/BOTTOM-UP SHADES?
Flexibility: Unlike traditional shades that only open
from the bottom up, the Top-Down/Bottom-Up
design option lets you customize the exact position of
your shades to fit your ideal level of privacy, light
control and comfort.
UV Protection: Even on cloudy days, damaging UV
rays can fade and deteriorate your furnishings. With
Top-Down/Bottom-Up shades, you can position your
shades to block the sun’s harsh rays while still
bringing in natural sunlight.
Various operating systems from simple cord controls
to full motorization for both the top-down feature and
the bottom-up feature.
