WHAT IS A ZEBRA SHADE?

Also known as Zebra Blinds, Zebra Shades are a very modern alternative to a horizontal blind. Sheer Horizontal Blinds are Roller shades that allow you to transition between sheer and privacy. The blinds can be adjusted so that the 2" (or 5") stripes overlap to provide total privacy, light control, and insulation. Adjust the blinds slightly, aligning the 2" (or 5") sheer fabric section to allow incoming daylight.  Sheer Horizontal Shades can be a great addition to a bedroom or living room. 

WHY CHOOSE A ZEBRA SHADE?

Zebra Shades can allow you to adjust the natural light levels by simply pulling the chain. Unlike Roller Shades they can be tilted slightly only allowing very little light into the room.  Zebra Shades are a great addition to a living room window to give a spin on a regular Roller Shade or Horizontal Blind.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Zebra Shades are operated by a side chain that allows you to maneuver the shade so you can see through the stripes or you can retract the blind entirely allowing you to see out completely. The side chains will be matching, as well as the bottom railing. 

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE BLINDS I NEED?

There are two types of installation: Inside Mount and Outside Mount.

Inside Mount Measurement for Pleated Shades

Inside Mount Measurement for Pleated Shades is when the blinds are installed inside the window casing.

1. Measure the exact inside width, to the closest 1/8^th inch, of the window casing from the left inside edge to the right inside edge at the top, middle and bottom of the window. Record the narrowest measurement as this will be your ordering width.
2. Measure the exact inside height, to the closest 1/8^th inch, of the window casing from the top inside edge to the bottom inside edge at the left, middle and right side of the window. Record the longest measurement as this will be your ordering height.
3. Do not make any deductions on width for clearance; the manufacturing facility will make any necessary deductions to ensure the shade fits.

Outside Mount Measurement for Pleated Shades

Outside mount shades are installed outside the window casing, covering an area larger than the window opening itself.

1. Measure the exact width to be covered to the closest 1/8^th inch. Make sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 2" - 3" on each side (4" - 6" total overlap) to ensure light control and privacy. Typically measured from the left outer edge of the window molding to the right outer edge. Please contact us if you have questions.
2. Measure the exact height to be covered to the closest 1/8^th inch, including the desired overlap. Typically measured from the top outer edge of the molding to the bottom outer edge of the molding. If you plan to install the shades above the molding, please ensure you add the necessary height to account for it.
3. The factory makes no deductions on outside mount shades.
