About Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades
Light from above, privacy below
With two rails, you can lower the top to bring in sky and sunshine while the bottom stays up for privacy, or raise the bottom to see out while the top stays closed. It is a favorite for baths, street-facing living rooms and ground-floor bedrooms.
Available in cellular, pleated, roller and woven styles, with cordless and motorized options. We help you choose the right fabric and layout for the window.

How It Works
What Goes Into Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades
Four parts of the job, each explained so you know what to expect.

Two rails
How It Works
A middle rail moves up and down, so you choose where the fabric covers: from the top, from the bottom or somewhere in between.
