to raise your shade from the bottom, and lower the shade
from the top simultaneously to allow light in from the outside
while maintaining privacy and eliminating glare on computer
or television screens. With this feature you
can fully raise the blind.
feature
allows you to raise your cellular shades from the window sill
only. You do not have the ability to lower the shade
from the top; with this feature you cannot fully raise the
cellular shades to the top of the window to have a completely
unobstructed view. The "top down" feature
allows the shade to be larger in area than top down/bottom
up cellular shades, but limits the degree of light
control. YourBlinds believes that the
greater functionality with the top down/bottom up cellular shades style is
more helpful to you than the larger size and therefore we
offer only the the top down/bottom up style.
Please
note: the top down / bottom up cellular shades by Hunter Douglas

with a fabric gasket on the bottom of the headrail to block
light leakage between the headrail and top rail when the

What can Cellular Shades
do for me? [ Top ]
Cellular shades provide a unique way to creatively dress your windows
while controling light and privacy. They come in a large assortment
of fabrics and colors and come in varying price ranges to fit any
budget.
- When the shade is fully lowered, the design of the cell creates
a pocket of insulating air between your window and your room.
This pocket of air helps reduce heat loss in the winter and heat
gain in the summer, resulting in lower energy bills. Cellular
shades are available in single, double and triple cell designs.
The greater the number of cell layers, the greater the energy
efficiency.
- Single cell cellular shades are available in a variety of pleat
sizes including 3/8", 7/16", 1/2" 9/16", 3/4",
1", and 2".

the maximum view out your window
- Available in a vast array of colors to coordinate with your
room décor, with white to the street side
