Stylish Zebra Shades (Custom Banded Shades)

Zebra shades (or Zebra Blinds) create a striking, dimensional look using layers of opaque and transparent vanes to control light in unique ways. These shades feature horizontal vanes that stack on top of each other. When closed, the alternating materials form the classic zebra stripe pattern that gives these shades their name.

Zebra shades slide smoothly along tracks allowing you to shift the layered vanes from side to side. This adjusts how much exterior light filters into the room. You can position the vanes to allow some visibility outside or stack them tightly for increased privacy. The transparent vanes work to softly diffuse harsh sunlight.

Zebra Shades, also known as custom banded shades or zebra blinds, have become very popular in recent years.

We offer inside recessed mounts, outside wall/molding mounts, and ceiling mounts. The shades can draw vertically or horizontally.

Motorization, remote controls, wall switches, and voice controls are available to make operation smooth and convenient.

Absolutely. We can make zebra shades in any size, material, color, features, and configuration for a perfect fit.

Vacuum gently with a brush attachment. Wipe individual vanes carefully with a microfiber cloth. Spot clean stains with mild cleaner.

Outstanding service and immediate response time from Sun Devil Shutters. We now live out of their service area but they immediately took care of a needed repair on shutters that had been purchased 3 years ago.
It took a long time to make them but it was worth the wait. Their installation team was phenomenal too.
Jordan did a GREAT job installing even when he ran into a stubborn beam. Northstar Shutters look great, the sales team was easy and friendly to work with and their prices are fair. From start to finish I would recommend this firm to anyone.
From start to finish, working with Mario and Robin was a plesure top notch service and quality shutters. I definately look forward to more from Sun Devil Shutters.
The window treatments that we got from Sun Devil Shutters are perfect, and the service was excellent. The company has a great selection of options, and our sales representative, Mario, was VERY helpful in recommending some good choices for our windows. The company handles the installation, and our installer was fast and efficient. Doing your own installation isnt an option, however, so you do have to include that expense as part of the project. There are likely companies that will provide window treatments for less, but based on the quality of their products and service, Im glad we went with Sun Devil Shutters.
I had a wonderful experience at Sun Devil Shutters in Phoenix. They have quality products. Ask for Robyn when you go. She has great ideas and will help your project be a success. From the mesurement team for my windows to the shutter installation team, everyone was proffessional. Thanks to everyone who helped from the Sun Devil Shutters store! I am absolutley thrilled with the results and would recommend them to anyhone.
Bright View Shutters exceeded our expectations in every possible way, starting with clear and friendly communication, continuing through a generous range of style and finish options to choose from, followed by a meticulous and professional installation, all at a price that felt very reasonable for the quality, and now we are absolutely delighted with how our windows look and already planning to have more shutters installed in additional rooms. The crew was punctual, courteous, and left the space clean and organized, which made the whole process smooth from start to finish.
Robin at the Phoenix location took great care of us and was a pleasure to deal with. She educated us on the options available to us and coordinated with her installation team including the measurements and installation. We are happy customers.
Mario & Robin with Sun Devil Shutters are phenomenal! They guided us through the design and took care of the installation of every window treatment in our new home. Both are incredibly professional, and I would highly recommend them for any window-treatment project. I also purchased rugs from their company, and they are absolutely beautiful!
I was blown away from start to finish by the expert, attentive team. Stunning selection and flawless installation—our rooms feel transformed, and we’re absolutely sold.
