What Does Top-Down/Bottom-Up Mean?

Regarding window treatments, top-down/bottom-up (TDBU) is one of the most innovative features. TDBU allows you to lower the shades from the top and raise them from the bottom, making them unique from other window treatments that only allow movement from the bottom or sides. This unique attribute lets you create a variety of light and privacy scenarios to find the one most comfortable for your lifestyle.

Our team of experts at The Decorated Wall is delighted to share some of the appraised benefits of TDBU window treatments and some of our favorite shades with this design.

The Benefits of Top-Down/Bottom-Up

Control Flexibility

Because you can move the TDBU window treatment from the top or the bottom, you will gain far more light and privacy management than other window treatments. Lowering the shades from the top allows you to enjoy the light while maintaining privacy. If you raise the shades from the bottom, you can enjoy flowing air circulation.

Energy Efficiency

Since TDBU allows for varied treatment positions, you can adjust them according to the sun's movement.

Motorization

You can add Motorization to all of our TDBU window treatments. With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, you can manage your light and privacy with an app, a remote, by voice, or a smart home system.
