Top-Down Bottom-Up Shades for Torrance Privacy
When the privacy problem sits at eye level, covering the full window all day can be unnecessary. A top-down bottom-up honeycomb shade keeps the lower view blocked while leaving higher glass open.
Measure the sightline, not an arbitrary halfway point
Look from the sidewalk, neighboring window, or shared driveway that creates the concern. Then mark the rail height that blocks that view while the homeowner is seated and standing.
Bathroom
Protect the relevant outside angle while verifying night privacy with the interior light on.
Bedroom
Use the lower privacy position during the day, then close the full opening at night.
Room plan
What to document before the written order
- Photograph the outside approach.
- Mark the desired upper rail stop.
- Choose fabric opacity for nighttime use.
- Confirm inside-mount depth and rail stack.
Example: front bedroom near a walkway
The privacy line may sit higher when the exterior walkway rises toward the window. The in-home measurement should document both the opening and the outside approach before the final rail position and fabric are approved.
