Top down day/night shades...

I'm thinking about mounting my day/night shades upside down to make them top down. I often want light but privacy too and given the height of our homes, top down shades would really be an asset and I don't see why mounting my day/night shades that way would be a problem.
Any thoughts?
  • Thanks BudFoster, exactly what I thought too. And of course they'll fall down if taken loose and held upside down. They will right side up too.
    For those of you that have presenting an opposing opinion, I'll try and post but I can't see why with proper tension adjustment, they'd fall down. They don't function by gravity either side up right?
  • Mine are all tight enough that they wouldn't fall down. If you can adjust the tension, I think it would work.
  • I think the only way that will work is if you park your rig upside down..:B

    You can get cellular shades to replace your day night shades that will open both ways...top down or bottom up.
  • Edit, incorrect response. Was thinking of the kind of blinds I use and not the Day/Night corded type.
