Zebra shades
What Are Zebra Shades?
Zebra shades, also called dual or layered shades,
are window coverings made with alternating horizontal bands of sheer and opaque fabric.
Adjusting the alignment of the bands changes the balance of incoming light and privacy.
Benefits of Zebra Shades
Zebra shades are available in several colors and use layered fabric bands to support adjustable light and glare control.
Available configurations vary by product and are listed on each product page. This design can help you:
Adjust light: Align the bands to allow more filtered light or overlap the opaque bands to reduce incoming light.
Control privacy: Overlapping the opaque bands can enhance privacy, while partially open positions allow more filtered light. Privacy varies with fabric alignment, indoor and outdoor lighting, fit, and installation.
Versatile style: The layered, streamlined appearance can complement a range of interior styles.

How do I install zebra shades?
Installation steps vary by product, window, supplied hardware, and mounting type. Follow the instructions provided with your shade.
- Choose the mount: inside or outside the window frame.
- Mark bracket positions: use a pencil and level.
- Secure the brackets: use fasteners suitable for the mounting surface.
- Attach the headrail: follow the supplied hardware instructions.
- Test the shade: raise and lower it, then adjust if needed.
If you are unsure about the wall material or installation hardware, consider consulting a qualified local installer.
How should I clean zebra shades?
Check the product-specific care instructions before cleaning.
Routine care: Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or microfiber duster. If vacuuming is permitted, use a brush attachment on low suction.
Spot cleaning: Test an inconspicuous area first. If the care instructions allow it, lightly dampen a clean cloth with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap, then blot gently. Do not soak or scrub the fabric.
Avoid: Bleach, harsh chemicals, machine washing, immersion in water, and high heat unless the product care instructions state otherwise.
How do I measure for zebra shades?
Measure the window according to the selected inside- or outside-mount method. Required deductions and tolerances can vary by product. Review our Measurement Finder and the individual product instructions before ordering.
