Operating Flexibility For Custom Window Shades

Solera® Soft Shades
Solera® Soft Shades

At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, many of our customers believe that shades open only one way—from the bottom up. But in reality, many Hunter Douglas shades are available with a much more flexible operating option: top-down/bottom-up operation. Read on to learn about it, and be sure to speak with one of our representatives to see this option in person! 

Meet This Operation

Top-down/bottom-up operation is exactly as it sounds: you’re able to raise and lower the treatment from the bottom up, from the top down, and both at the same time. This system is great for privacy and light control on first floor—for example, you can get natural light into your room by opening from the top down, but you’ll maintain privacy from passersby with the bottom part of the shade closed. Or you can open from both, controlling sun coming in, which is great for upper-story windows.

Shades With This Option

Hunter Douglas offers several products you can add the option to:

  • Solera® Roman Shades. Energy-efficient like a cellular shade, Solera looks like a Roman shade. This product is completely cordless and is available in over 65 colors and fabrics.
  • Vignette® Roman Shades. A modern take on the traditional Roman shade, Vignette is available in over 25 fabric and color options, as well as with enhanced design features. 
  • Duette® Cellular Shades. With Duette, you get beauty and energy efficiency in the same product—with its honeycomb design, the shades will help insulate at the window, and with over 150 fabric and color choices, it offers aesthetics for nearly any style. Plus, you can find vertical options for sliders, walls of windows, and patio doors.
  • Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. Made from artistically woven reeds, grasses, bamboo, and woods, Provenance lets you bring nature into your room’s look. The natural look meshes well with modern, contemporary, and farmhouse modern styles.
