Day & Night in One Shade

Two looks, one effortless motion

Zebra blinds get their name from alternating sheer and solid fabric bands. Line up the sheers and natural light filters in for an open, airy feel. Slide them so the solid bands overlap and you're instantly shielded from outside views — without losing the daylight.

That's why they're our most popular product for condos, living rooms, and home offices across Vancouver.

  • Filter daylight without losing the view
  • Full privacy in one quick slide
  • Sleek, modern look that fits any decor

Privacy Mode

Total privacy when you want it

Slide the solid bands into alignment and you get full coverage — perfect for bedrooms, street-facing windows, or any room where you want to disappear from the outside world.

Pair zebra blinds with a fascia or cassette head cover to seal the top of the window and reduce light leak even further.

Fabric colours can look slightly different in person due to camera and lighting effects. We bring full physical samples to your free in-home consultation so you can see every option in your actual light before deciding.

Finishing Touches

Fascia or cassette head cover

A fascia is a flat cover that hides the headrail for a clean, modern look — great for blocking light leak at the top of the window.

A cassette wraps fully around the roller mechanism, protecting the motor and giving the blind a tidy, built-in appearance. Both come in colours matched to your fabric.

Cassette housing

A wrap-around housing that fully conceals the roller and motor for the cleanest possible look — popular in new builds and modern renovations.

Frequently asked questions about zebra blinds

How do zebra shades improve privacy and light control?
The alternating sheer and solid bands let you fine-tune privacy and light. Line up the sheers for daylight with privacy, line up the solids for full privacy and shade. Other shades only give you one mode at a time.
What are the advantages of motorized zebra shades?
Cordless operation makes them safer for kids and pets, and you can schedule them to open at sunrise or close at sunset automatically — convenient and energy-saving.
Can zebra shades fit any window size?
Yes. We custom-build to fit. For very small or unusual shapes (round, triangular), we'll confirm during the in-home consultation.
Are zebra shades energy efficient?
Yes. Closing the solid bands blocks direct sun and reduces heat gain in summer; opening the sheers in winter lets passive solar heat in. They aren't as insulating as cellular shades, but they balance light and energy well.
How do I clean zebra shades?
Dust regularly with a soft cloth or duster. For stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Don't soak the fabric.
How do I choose the right band size?
Small bands (2–3 inches) suit small windows, medium bands (3–4½ inches) suit standard windows, and large bands (4½–5½ inches) look best on big windows. Our design consultants help you pick during the free in-home visit.
