What Are Zebra Shades?

Zebra window shades are a type of roller shade, also known as transitional shades or banded shades. Dual layers of fabric panels alternate between sheer, semi-opaque, or opaque horizontal fabric vanes, resulting in a bold stripe pattern that allows light to transition into a room. Zebra shades can be raised and lowered entirely or partially to control light, enjoy a lovely view, or provide a sense of privacy.

We offer fabrics in an array of colors, from cool neutrals to gorgeously subtle oranges and purples, as well as patterns that include unique curved and geometric options. You can also select either board mount fabric wrapped or cassette valances for a polished look. For superior performance, try one of the many easy-to-operate motorization systems - you can use a remote control, voice control, or a smart home device to raise and lower blinds whenever you need, or even program them to work on a specific schedule. All of our zebra window shades are custom-crafted at our U.S. manufacturing facilities to ensure they are of the highest quality. We also handle all elements of a project in house, from measurements to installation, to ensure you are completely satisfied with the final result.

Zebra shades make a major visual statement while emphasizing, not hiding, the sleek lines and minimalist decor of a modern space. Designers often use them for larger windows or to create a sense of depth in a room. They also work well in spaces such as bedrooms or bathrooms, where greater privacy is often desired.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zebra Shades

These shades are similar to regular roller shades. Instead of a single piece of material, however, transitional window shades are made from two pieces of fabric, one sheer and one solid. These alternating opacity levels create the striped, or banded, effect.

Transitional shades lay flat the same way roller shades do. The main difference between them is that transitional shades are made up of two pieces of fabric that allow for three main positions:

  • position the fabric layers to create a zebra-striped look that allows for some privacy while still being able to look out the window
  • align both fabric layers for a fully closed look
  • rolled up or down

We customize each shade to fit your windows. Available widths range from 10” to 102” and heights from 12” to 120”.

Yes. Stoneside offers a variety of power options for your transitional shades, including battery and hard-wired systems. They can be controlled through a wall switch, handheld remote, phone app, auto wand, or home automation device.

Stoneside’s in-house installation professionals handle the job for you, providing white-glove service.

Fabric shades can be dusted with a handheld vacuum or your vacuum’s brush attachment. Be sure the setting is on low suction and glide the vacuum smoothly over the shades without pulling on the fabric.
