Banded Shades - Contemporary Innovation
Banded Shades are modern and versatile window treatments that can transform any room. Banded shades, also referred to as dual shades or zebra shades, combine solid and sheer horizontal bands to form a single shade that gives you precise light control. When aligned, solid bands seamlessly block natural light and ensure privacy; when shifted, the sheer bands transition to diffuse light and reveal the view. Banded Shades allow you to control the light, privacy, and style in your room with ease.
See the Difference:
Often times, it’s hard to imagine how Banded Shades actually operate and how they look when opened or closed, so to help, here’s a slider that lets you see the shades in their opened and closed positions. The shades can also fully retract inside of their cassette at the top of the window when you want a full view outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
With over 100 fabrics to choose from, there is sure to be color you're looking for! We have two types of fabrics to choose from, depending on the solution you're going for.
1. Light Filtering: The privacy bands allow light to softly glow through the fabric, offering comfortable light glow during the day, and full privacy at night. If you want to see out, you just adjust the bands so you can see through the sheer bands and enjoy the view to the outdoors.
2. Light Dimming: The bands are made of thick, light dimming fabric so light can't bleed or glow through the face of the bands. This allows better light control for sleeping areas. While not a blackout product, these do reduce harsh light significantly and make a space more cozy for resting.
