Banded Shades
Banded Shades – Zebra Blinds
Modern Light Control with a Striking Look
Banded shades offer a bold, contemporary approach to light control. These innovative window treatments feature alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric that glide past each other, allowing you to easily shift between filtered light, view-through, and complete privacy.
At Bindi & Bird, our custom banded shades are designed to perform and impress. With their clean lines and layered textures, they add depth and interest to any space—whether you’re outfitting a modern home, a high-rise condo, or a sleek office.
Zebra shades are as functional as they are stylish. Raise them fully for an unobstructed view, align the bands for soft filtered light, or close them completely for privacy and room darkening.
Common Questions About Zebra Blinds / Banded Shades
What are zebra blinds?
Zebra blinds, also known as dual or layered shades, feature alternating sheer and solid fabric stripes. These stripes can be adjusted to either filter natural light or block it for privacy, giving you flexible light control in a single window covering.
Are zebra blinds good for privacy?
Yes, zebra blinds are a great option for privacy. When the solid stripes are aligned, they create a full barrier from outside view. During the day, you can easily switch to the sheer setting to let in light while maintaining moderate privacy.
Are zebra blinds good for bedrooms?
Zebra blinds are a popular choice for bedrooms, especially when made with room-darkening fabric. They provide soft, filtered light during the day and privacy at night, combining style with functionality for restful spaces.
