Zebra Blinds: Alternating Sheer and Solid Bands, Light and Privacy Control, Fabrics, Sizes and Fitting
Zebra blinds use alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric on a roller mechanism, so you can align the bands for light or offset them for privacy. They suit living rooms, bedrooms and offices that need flexible daytime control. The fabric weight, the band width and the fit decide how well they work. This guide covers how they work, fabrics, sizes, fitting and indicative prices. See also roller blinds.
How zebra blinds work
Two layers of fabric with alternating bands slide against each other. Aligned sheer bands let light through, and offset solid bands give privacy.
Fabrics
Choose a fabric that suits the light you want. Thicker bands give more privacy and block more light. Avoid very thin fabric in west-facing windows.
Sizes and fit
Measure the recess for an inside fit or the wall for an outside fit. See window blinds.
Fixing
Fix brackets level into solid wall. Keep chains out of reach of children.
