The experts at Austin Window Fashions will tell you: Top down bottom up shades are popular here in Austin, TX, and it’s easy to see why. Ample natural light enters–directed at the ceiling–for daylighting, while the bottom portion of the window shade covers most of the window for privacy and energy efficiency. The top down shades feature is an amazing way to block the light and heat of our Texas summer without feeling like you’re cooped up. Enjoy treetop views and a glare-free space.
Daylight Enters at the Top
Windows stay mostly covered, but the sun streams in across the ceiling. We call it daylighting, and it’s a well-loved feature of top down blinds. The direct sunlight and frustrating glare is kept at bay, but the room is bright. Top down is a winning combination, and it also keeps you from using excess overhead lighting.
Stay Private
You love the view out, but maybe not the view in. Top down shades keep your private life your own, while revealing beautiful sky views. No matter which direction your windows face, whether street-facing or neighbor-facing, you’ll experience comfort and ample natural light at the same time.
Customized Adjustments
One window needs to be covered to keep out the heat. Another one needs to block the view into the house. And the other one? Coverage helps to keep the glare off of your screens. Each and every window can feature the custom adjustments you need to be comfortable and happy.
