Collection: Zebra Blinds

Zebra blinds, also called zebra shades, use two layers of fabric with alternating sheer and solid horizontal bands. By changing the alignment of the bands, they provide adjustable daylight, outside visibility, and privacy without requiring the entire shade to be raised.

The two striped fabric layers move past each other as the shade opens or closes. Aligning the sheer bands admits more daylight and preserves more of the outside view. Overlapping the solid bands reduces visibility and creates greater privacy and light control.

Zebra blinds provide adjustable privacy when the solid bands overlap. However, room-darkening zebra fabrics are not guaranteed to create complete blackout. Light may remain through the fabric, between the bands, or around the edges of the treatment. A dedicated blackout roller or cellular shade may be more suitable when near-total darkness is required.

Zebra blinds create a structured, contemporary look with horizontal stripes, while sheer shades use soft vanes suspended between sheer layers for a gentler, more fabric-like appearance. Both adjust light and privacy; the better choice depends on the preferred style and how soft or defined you want the daylight to feel.

Zebra blinds use alternating sheer and solid bands for adjustable daytime light and privacy. Roller shades use one continuous fabric and provide a simpler appearance with clearer light-filtering, solar, room-darkening, or blackout choices. Use the Window Treatment Selection Guide if you are comparing zebra, roller, or cellular shades.

Zebra blinds create a defined contemporary pattern with horizontal sheer and solid bands. Shangrila shades use softer floating vanes between sheer fabric layers, creating a gentler, more decorative appearance. Both adjust light and privacy, but the visual effect and fabric construction are different.

The two products currently shown in this Collection are motorized rather than separate manual cordless zebra blinds. Depending on the selected motor and accessories, operation may include a remote, app, schedules, voice control, or smart-home integration. Confirm the exact compatibility and any hub requirements on the Product page.

Many large windows can use custom zebra blinds, but maximum width varies by fabric and color. Very wide openings may require multiple aligned shades. For a frequently used sliding door, panel track or vertical blinds may provide easier side-to-side access.

Choose inside or outside mount first, then measure the width and height according to that mounting method. Check frame depth, trim, handles, and cassette clearance before ordering. Follow the Measuring Guide and select the relevant product in the Installation Guide.
