• privacy and light control: Cords and route holes are located on the back of the shade for maximum privacy.  Most fabrics screen bright sunlight to varying degrees and provide a moderate to high amount of privacy at night, although silhouettes of objects and movement within a lighted room may be visible. Room darkening and blackout liners are available for a small surcharge.
• top down/bottom up: the ultimate in versatility, this option allows you to open the shade from the top down, the bottom up, or both at the same time - providing natural light as well as privacy.
