What exactly are Zebra Blinds?

Zebra Blinds — or Double Roller Shades, as we call them at The Shade Store — are roller shades that are specially designed with two layers of alternating sheer and opaque bands. They are a stylish way to effectively adjust privacy and light in one easy pull.

To let light in through your Double Roller Shades’ sheer bands, simply pull the included continuous loop (or adjust with motorization). Pull again to line up the opaque bands — this blocks more light and offers more privacy.

Benefits of Zebra Blinds / Double Roller Shades:

• ​​Double Roller Shades appear with alternating 2 inch sheer and 3 inch privacy opaque bands of material.
• Double Roller Shades come standard with a metal valance and bottom bar.
• With 3 materials and 15 colors to choose from, you can customize your double roller shade look to match the rest of your space seamlessly.
