Why Choose Zebra

Contemporary banded shades with adjustable light

Zebra shades — also known as custom banded shades — create a striking, dimensional look using alternating layers of opaque and sheer horizontal vanes. Slide the layers and the bands align to filter light, or offset them for privacy. It's two shades in one.

The transparent vanes softly diffuse harsh sunlight while the opaque bands provide privacy when you want it. That flexibility has made zebra shades one of the most popular window treatments in recent years.

Available in a wide range of colors and textures, with motorization options for remote, app, or voice control.

Common Questions

Zebra Shades FAQs

How do zebra shades work?

Zebra shades use two layers of fabric with alternating sheer and opaque horizontal bands. As you raise or lower the shade, the bands slide past each other — align the sheer bands for filtered light and a view, or offset them for privacy.

Are zebra shades good for privacy?

Yes. When the opaque bands overlap, zebra shades provide full privacy. When aligned, the sheer bands let in soft, diffused light while maintaining a degree of separation from the outside.

Can zebra shades be motorized?

Absolutely. Motorized zebra shades can be operated by remote, app, or voice — and the motor and lithium battery carry a 10-year warranty.

Can zebra shades be customized?

Yes. Zebra shades are custom fitted to your windows and available in a wide range of colors and textures, with manual or motorized control options.

How do I clean zebra shades?

Use a soft brush attachment to vacuum gently, or wipe the layered fabric carefully with a clean microfiber cloth. Follow the care instructions for your selected fabric when treating a spot.

Can zebra shades be mounted inside or outside the window frame?

Yes. The right mounting method depends on the window depth, trim, and coverage you want. We evaluate the opening and confirm the best fit during measurement.

What fabric choices are available for zebra shades?

Zebra shades use layered fabric with alternating sheer and opaque bands. They are available in many colors, textures, and degrees of light filtering to coordinate with your room.

How are zebra shades priced?

Pricing varies with window size, fabric, controls, and motorization. Your free consultation includes measurements, samples, and an exact quote for the configuration you choose.
