Top Down Bottom Up

The top down bottom up feature is a great way to add versatility to shades. The one knock on standard shades (bottom up) is that they go two ways, up and down. So your treatment is either opened or closed, there isn't much middle ground. The top down bottom up adds another rail in the shade that can be lowered from the top. Now you have to moving rails in the window, the bottom rail and a top rail, thus making your shade do a lot more.

It's a nice feature on any shade but it seems to make the most sense on blackout shades in the bedrooms. It's 6:30 in the morning, I'd rather not turn on the lights, I'd rather not have to raise my blind up sacrificing privacy, it just makes sense to drop the top a few inches to let the early sunlight in. It doesn't have to be added to every shade, I'd recommend using it on either the biggest shade in the room or the shade that you use the most.

Although plantation shutters have little in common with shades, they can utilize the top down bottom up feature as well. It's called a split tilt. In the privacy rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, I recommend people split the louvers at around head height. Now you have two separate channels for your louvers, you can close the bottom 2/3's for privacy but leave the top few louvers opened to allow light in. Making your treatments as versatile as possible without making them complicated is a win win.

Helpful

Great service , great prices, very professional , very helpful. The installer was very professional, polite and very organized. I highly recommend this company .

Easy

They were the easiest company to do business with!! The estimator came out and we decided which window blind would be best. His price was the cheapest I'd been quoted. He did not want a deposit. A few weeks later - earlier than I'd been told to expect - I got a call that the window blind was in; what day was convenient for installation. Jim, the installer, was here for about 5 minutes, competently installed the blind, showed me how to work it. I then called the office to give them my credit card payment. They were terrific! I highly recommend them!

Outstanding

Outstanding customer service! They went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction and did so in a timely manner. I would definitely use them again and will be recommending them to all my family and friends.

Price

Really happy with AAA Blinds. They were by far the best price I found for a quality product. The order arrived on time and the installation took place the following day. They were installed quick and look great!! Thanks, AAA!
