Top Down Bottom Up Shades
Natural light can make a home feel vibrant and inviting, but nobody wants to deal with the sun shining directly in their eye. While many traditional window treatments need to be completely closed to combat sun glare, top down bottom up (TDBU) shades offer a better solution. Since they can be raised or lowered from both the top and the bottom, these shades can shift into any size or position for targeted coverage that still reveals some of your view. Whether you want complete privacy or you just need to block out a small glint of sunlight, TDBU shades have you covered.
