Where can I get a window blind that rises from the bottom, rather than dropping from the top?

Question

Blinds are usually hung at the top of a window and then pulled down. However I want a bling which rises so that sometimes I can have the top of the window open (to let in light) but the bottom obscured (for privacy). But I cannot find such a thing anywhere. Do they exist?

Answer 1

I converted one that did pull down to one I now pull up, by fixing brackets to hold it where I wanted and replacing the weak pole (normally at bottom of blind) with a stronger one. I have three sets of brackets at each height I want the blind.

They must make them, but when I needed one I couldn't find one, so resorted to DIY.

Also in the past I have fitted window film as an alternative to blinds. This maybe worth investigating if you only want lower window privacy.

Answer 2

simply install a normal blind upside down at the bottom of your window. With the aid of the handy Acme anti-gravity machine, available in all good stores, your problem is solved.

Answer 3

yea these are more and more common now, try argos, major catalogs etc, the net....basically, the whole unit drops down, to clear a top opening window, or sit like a cafe blind.
just search around, as they are mass produced.

Answer 4

A regular blind can be mounted at the bottom of the window and the closed 'up'. a small hook will secure it in the closed postion
