Zebra Shades - Everything You Should Know
Sheer Shade Features
Sheer shades are known for providing a modern look by blending the functionality of a traditional blind with the beauty of a fabric shade. This makes them excellent for anybody who wants to accent their room with shades that provide a nice glow, while maintaining a level of privacy.
Sheer shades can be tilted to any angle, giving you control over the amount of light entering the room. So while they maintain the appearance of blinds, they are much more flexible in operation. Additionally, there are room darkening sheer shade options which allow for light to be let in when the fabric vanes are tilted open and provide privacy at the same time. For even more privacy, the fabric vanes can be completely closed which looks similar to fully closed traditional blinds.
For those looking for the vertical blinds style but with the modern look of sheer shades, have no fear! Vertical sheer shades function very similarly to their horizontal counterparts, and give you the ability to accent your sliding doors or any windows where a vertical style is preferred.
Zebra Shades (Dual Sheer Shades)
Zebra shades are actually just double sheer shades. Because of their striped patterns they are referred to as zebra shades. Zebra shades are made from one piece of fabric with alternating translucent and light-filtering or room-darkening material stripes. This gives Zebra shades both a modern look and the ability for precise light control.
Dual sheer shades are made from a single piece of fabric with alternating translucent and light-filtering material stripes. When raised, the fabric is concealed, providing an unobstructed view. When closed, these shades diffuse the light into your room and provide moderate privacy.
