For windows where both light and privacy are desired, zebra blinds are the perfect solution. These unique 2-in-1 window coverings feature light filtering and blackout materials that can be used independently or together. Zebra shades are sometimes called Day and Nightshades for this reason. You can adjust the light filtering or blackout shade to cover the entire window, giving you complete control over your view and privacy. Either material can also be used to cover a portion of the window or the shade can be raised fully for complete view through. Add cordless motorize lift to make operating your blinds easily.

How Zebra Blinds Work

How does a zebra blinds provide so much customizable light control and privacy? The secret to these awesome blinds are their overlapping stripes and rotating headrail. As the blind rotate around the headrail, the amount of overlap between stripes varies. Just raising or lowering the shade a few inches allows you to switch between privacy and light modes. When you adjust the shades so that the opaque stripes lie side by side, the shades block light. Depending on the dual sheer shades you pick, it may provide filtered light or dim the room drastically. In addition to darkening your home, the shades also keep people from looking in your home. Shifting the shades slightly allows the opaque stripes to overlap with each other. This keeps them from blocking light that pours in through the sheer stripes. Zebra window shades let you adjust the width of the sheer stripes with ease. This lets you choose just how much light enters your home.
