ZEBRA SHADES

DESIGNED TO MATCH YOUR HOME’S INTERIOR

Zebra shades allow you to control light and at the same time enjoy a great view. Their stylish aesthetic creates a big impact in any space – home, office, sitting room, and more. Zebra shades are also known as vision shades which feature a stylish fabric that will filter out and soften daylight. Perfect for combining soft daylight and privacy, zebra roller shades are the perfect compromise between mini blinds and roller shades.

ZEBRA SHADES: CLASSIC HYBRID SHADES FOR YOUR HOME
Zebra shades feature a combination of sheer and solid fabrics in a single shade. Much like opening and closing the slats of a blind, Layered Shades control light by alternating the bands from open to close. Want more light? Leave the vanes open and light will stream in through the beautiful sheer fabric.

The best thing about Zebra shades is that they are very versatile and can be used for a majority of wonderful reasons. From getting an incredible outside view during the day to protecting your family from UV radiations and closing them during nighttime for privacy, Zebra shades do it all in the best possible way.

Zebra roller shades are versatile and will work with any room. Zebra shades are also “transitional”! What does that mean? They have 3 modes – fully open, fully closed, and “zebra” – half opaque and half translucent. Clean lines mean that they fit perfectly with many modern and contemporary decor.

HOW DO ZEBRA SHADES WORK?

Zebra shades feature multiple layers of see-through or solid colored striped fabric. The first layer can move on its own – allowing the panels to align and open and close to control light levels. Sliding these blinds into a “dark material-dark material” position allows for complete control over privacy. Opening these blinds into a “dark material-translucent” material position lets half the outside light in. Besides just looking beautiful, zebra shades are also extremely practical. Whether you want total privacy or access to sunlight in your room – zebra shades will accommodate your needs. Renowned for being easy to use, one rod will control the raising and lowering of the opaque-translucent panels and they will slide past each other. When you want access to full sunlight, these zebra shades roll up in a sleek, compact way. With Zebra Blinds, the light is in your control. You don’t have to give up panoramic views to reduce incoming light!

AUTOMATIC, MOTORIZED ZEBRA SHADES

Tired of opening and closing your blinds every day? That’s not a problem with NY City Blinds. We will install motorized zebra shades that will open and close with the press of a button. Each window can be controlled individually or in tandem. It’s also possible to install an automatic control system that will open and close based on the light levels outside. Every time we show these blinds off to partners like you, they are wowed by them! Impress your guests every time with motorized zebra shades. They open and close in a mesmerizing pattern.

THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT YOU WANT IS IN YOUR CONTROL

Zebra shades are made up of translucent and solid material in the same shade. They contain opaque and clear slats that bundle up when you want to control the light. Need more light? Just raise the slats to the top in a compact way. Need a little light? Lower some of the slats. Want privacy? Bring all the slats together with a flick of the control and your windows will be completely blocked. Our zebra shades also come in darkening fabrics that are better suited for bedrooms or office media rooms
