What are layered shades?

Layered shades — also known as zebra, dual or banded shades — are made from a continuous loop of fabric printed with alternating sheer and solid horizontal bands. As you move the shade, the solid bands either line up with the sheers (open, for view and light) or overlap them (closed, for privacy and shade).

How they work

  • Bands aligned — sheer-over-sheer lets in light and keeps your view.
  • Bands offset — solid-over-sheer for privacy and glare control.
  • Fully raised — the shade rolls away like a standard roller.

Benefits

  • Contemporary, architectural look that's very on-trend.
  • Smooth, infinite adjustment between view and privacy.
  • Great in living spaces and offices.
  • Motorization-ready.
Good to know

Like sheer shades, zebra shades offer the most privacy by day. For full nighttime privacy, choose a room-darkening band or add drapery.

Best rooms

Modern living rooms, home offices, dining rooms and apartments — anywhere a clean, current look and flexible light control are the goal.

What to expect & pricing

Layered shades are competitively priced for the versatility they offer, with cost driven by size, fabric and motorization.
