Daylighting Brightens the Home

Sunlight is well-known to be a positive influence on your everyday life. But more than that, you can also save energy! Daylighting is the act of lighting your home with natural light, by illuminating your ceiling. Our top down blinds feature does just that. Protect a large part of the window, while gaining light & temperature control. Featuring the ability to adjust your window coverings to block extreme light & heat, while bringing in rays of sun across the ceiling, these collections offer the balanced lighting you’ve been searching for.

Privacy Protected with Top Down Blinds

Your home is your own, and you should be able to enjoy it comfortably. Bringing the shades down from the top allows you to keep the interior of your home private, while the natural light enters. Sit back and relax with views of Tahoe’s mountains, knowing local street traffic and neighborhood homes do not have a view in. This feature can be instantly accessed as motorized top down bottom up shades.

Customize Individual Windows

One window needs the light blocked, with room darkening shade options, capable of being lowered just enough to bring in ambient lighting during the day. The other shade needs to block the view to the street, but not the view of the sky. And, another one simply needs to have the majority covered to keep out the heat. Each and every window can feature custom adjustments to create the right atmosphere with top down blinds. Love the view? Compare popular shade styles.
