Zebra Shades
- Soft Lighting
- Looking for smooth transitions? Gently filter in light or darken a room without harsh light extremes.
- UV Protection
- Keep harmful UV rays at bay and protect your furniture and floors.
- Never Lose a View
- Keep an unobstructed view when the fabric slats are open. Great for daydreamers and those who appreciate the world around them.
- Low Profile
- Zebra shades are super lightweight and can be used as a low profile window treatment in windows up to 94" wide.
Zebra blinds, zebra shades, or dual sheer shades are made with alternating bands of light filtering or room darkening sheer material that cycles through as you raise and lower them. Made up of two layers of alternating soft, sheer fabric, these shades can be customized to offer privacy while still letting light through your window.
Zebra shades are available in a large spectrum of neutral colors for both light filtering and room darkening. Additionally, zebra shades are lightweight and roll up into a narrow cassette. Not only are they great for covering large windows up to 94 inches wide, they also won’t obstruct your view when fully open, an ideal choice for large, picturesque windows.

Blackout: Upgrade your shade with blackout fabrics for more light obstruction and more privacy.
Continuous Cord Loop: The change in privacy and light control is easier than you’d expect, thanks to a stainless steel continuous cord loop control which allows the vanes of the 2 fabrics to work in unison and be open or closed at any level.
Cordless: A popular option, cordless eliminates the need for a lift cord and allows you to raise and lower your dual sheer shades with the touch of a finger.

Considerations
Here are a few things to consider before purchasing zebra shades.
- The fabric of Zebra Shades is not the most ideal for areas of high humidity such as a bathroom or kitchen; consider the distance between the shades and the sink, shower, or bathtub.
- The fabric blocks almost all damaging UV rays and the room darkening shadings also block most light.
- Cordless Lift includes a short cord on the bottom rail for reaching higher windows.
