Dual Sheer Shades in Action
See why these versatile dual sheer shades/zebra blinds make a perfect fit for any window.
Customizing Your Dual Sheer Shade
Light Control
One of the biggest questions to consider when customizing your dual sheer shades is whether you want the alternating fabric to be a light filtering or blackout material. In bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries, or offices, blackout fabrics are often recommended. Remember, you’re always going to have that sheer layer to let in light when you need it. Those are places where you want maximum light control. For spaces you want to keep light and bright, like a kitchen or a dining room, choose a light-filtering material. Light filtering styles also pair well with drapery. This is especially useful if you want complete privacy.
Lift Options
Our zebra blinds can be customized with a variety of lift options. A standard cordless lift gives you a simple handle on the bottom rail that allows you to easily adjust your shades. A continuous cord loop can be secured to the wall to give you a rotating chain that can be accessed from inside the window casing. Dual sheers can also be motorized for total remote control with the push of a button from anywhere in the house. Consider a rechargeable motorized wand, which hangs from the blind, if you’re worried about losing the remote. Finally, saving the best for last, motorized shades can be paired with a home automation option. This can pair your shade to your smart home, phone, or devices. We heavily recommend a motorized option, especially for large or hard-to-reach windows.
Dual sheer shades dance between light and shadow, effortlessly transitioning from sheer to solid. These unique sheers are especially useful in rooms where light and privacy needs can vary. Zebra blinds love a living room. They can also make a bold statement in a bedroom or a kitchen. Whether you want to enjoy natural light, shut it out completely, or enjoy the view, these unique sheers can strike the perfect balance.
