Benefits And Uses Of Top Down Bottom Up Shades

Of the very many innovations taking place on window coverings, perhaps the best ones are the Top Down Bottom Up (Duofold) Shades or Blinds. Regular window treatments may help in reducing the amount of UV rays and glare that gets inside your windows but only the Top Down Bottom Up (Duofold) Shades can offer more both in aesthetics and functionality. Unlike traditional window coverings, top down bottom up shades cannot only be lifted from bottom to top but also be opened from top to bottom – hence its name. This post will tell you more about the advantages of Top Down Bottom Up (Duofold) Shades and the many ways you can use them.

Benefits of Top Down Bottom Up Shades

Here are some of the advantages that Top Down Bottom Up Shades can offer:

1. Additional Light Control
   
   A standard shade can be raised and lowered only from bottom to the top, hence their ability to control light and maintain privacy is limited as it gives a full view of the room from the outside when opened. However with Top Down Bottom Up Shades, you can control the shade not only from bottom up but also from top down or a combination of both. This means that you can let the light in without having to open the shades completely. And because you can let the light in without compromising privacy, duofold shades can help you save money on energy costs as you won’t have to turn on electrical lights every time you want to brighten the room.
   
   
2. Provides View While Retaining Privacy
   
   As the Top Down Bottom Up Shades can be controlled top down, you can have a view to the outside while keeping the peeping Toms from peeking in. This kind of privacy is something that other typical window treatments cannot offer. This feature is best when you need to retain privacy but want some light inside the room or a view outside. The Top Down Bottom Up option helps make your rooms brighter and more stylish, with a view to the sky outside which is perfect when you want to gaze at the moon and stars at night or read a book beside the window during the day.
   
   
3. Safe For Kids
   
   The Top Down Bottom Up Shades are cordless meaning you can raise and lower it down without having to use strings or cords. This makes them a safer option compared to other window coverings as the cordless control option decreases the likelihood of your kids getting into cord-related accidents like strangulations.
