Blinds & Shades in Lombard, IL
In the Lilac Village, people buy their homes partly for what is outside the window. Top-down/bottom-up shades are the answer we reach for most often here — privacy at the street, daylight and treetops above.
Local knowledge
Blinds, Shades & Shutters in Lombard
Lombard's older neighbourhoods near Lilacia Park sit on tight, friendly lots. The front rooms face the sidewalk directly, which creates the classic western-suburb dilemma: you want the light and the view of the parkway trees, but you do not want to be on display to everyone walking a dog. A Duette® shade on a top-down/bottom-up system solves it in one move — the shade drops from the top, rises from the bottom, or does both at once.
Further out toward Yorktown and the Highland Avenue corridor, the homes get newer and the glass gets bigger. Those rooms tend to need help with heat more than with privacy, and the insulating honeycomb construction earns its keep there.

Lombard questions
Asked and answered
What exactly does top-down/bottom-up mean?
The shade has two moving rails. You can lower it from the top to let daylight in over your head while the lower half stays covered, raise it from the bottom like a normal shade, or position both. It is the single best fix for a front window on a busy street.
Is it available on more than just cellular shades?
Yes — Hunter Douglas offers top-down/bottom-up on cellular, Roman and woven wood shades, with manual or PowerView® operation depending on the product.
