Alternating sheer and solid fabric bands give you precise, infinitely adjustable light control with a bold, modern look.
Banded shades — also called zebra or dual-layer shades — feature alternating horizontal bands of sheer and solid fabric. By adjusting the shade up or down, you align the bands differently to control how much light enters the room. Align sheers to sheers for a soft, filtered glow. Align solids to sheers for maximum privacy.
The result is a window treatment that's both graphically striking and genuinely practical — and the banded look translates beautifully across a wide range of contemporary, transitional, and even traditional interiors.
Unlike a standard roller shade, banded shades give you a continuous range of light levels — not just open or closed.
The alternating band pattern creates a strong horizontal graphic that adds interest and intentionality to any window.
Align the solid bands to cover the sheer bands completely and you have a fully private window — no separate blackout shade needed.
Align sheer to sheer and your room fills with soft, filtered light while you maintain a sense of openness.
The same roll-up operation as a classic roller shade — intuitive, reliable, and easy to use daily.
