The perfect blend of style and function. Alternating sheer and solid stripes give you complete control over light and privacy. Custom-made to fit your windows perfectly.
Quick answers
What are zebra blinds?
Zebra blinds (also called dual shades or layered shades) feature alternating sheer and solid horizontal stripes on a single piece of fabric. By adjusting the blinds, you can align the solid stripes for privacy or offset them to allow light through the sheer sections.
Are zebra blinds good for bedrooms?
Yes! When the solid stripes are aligned, zebra blinds provide excellent privacy and significant light blocking. For complete blackout in bedrooms, we recommend our zebra blinds with blackout fabric option, which blocks 99% of light.
How do you clean zebra blinds?
Zebra blinds are easy to maintain. Regular dusting with a soft cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment keeps them clean. For spots, use a damp cloth with mild soap. The polyester fabric is stain-resistant and durable.

How do zebra blinds control light and privacy?
You control light by shifting the front fabric layer a few inches. When the sheer bands line up with the sheer bands behind them, light and view come through; nudge the shade so the solid bands align and the window closes for privacy. Because it is a continuous adjustment, you can set anything from fully open to fully private without ever closing the shade completely.
Can zebra blinds be cordless and child-safe?
Yes. Cordless zebra shades remove the operating cord for a clean look and are the safest choice for homes with children and pets. Motorized versions are also completely cord-free.
What is the difference between zebra blinds and roller shades?
A roller shade is a single opaque fabric that is either up or down. A zebra blind uses two layers of alternating sheer and solid bands, so you get graduated light control and a see-through view option that a standard roller shade cannot offer — the clean roller look plus the flexibility of a sheer.
How do I measure for zebra blinds?
For an inside mount, measure the opening width at top, middle, and bottom and use the narrowest, then the height at left, middle, and right and use the tallest. For an outside mount, measure the area you want covered plus a few inches of overlap on each side. Preview fabrics online first to confirm the fabric and opacity, then we make each shade to your exact size.
