Alternating Bands Adjustable Light Control Contemporary Style
What Are Motorized Zebra Shades?
Motorized zebra shades, also known as banded shades or transitional shades, feature a unique design with alternating horizontal bands of sheer and solid fabric. By shifting the position of the shade, you can align the bands to create different levels of light filtration and privacy.
When the sheer and solid bands overlap, the shade provides enhanced privacy and light blockage. When they are offset, the sheer bands allow natural light to filter through while the solid bands maintain some privacy, creating a beautiful striped appearance.
This innovative design makes zebra shades an ideal choice for homeowners who want the flexibility to transition between open, airy spaces and more private, shaded environments throughout the day. With motorized operation, achieving the perfect balance takes only seconds.

How Zebra Shades Work
Our motorized zebra shades feature a continuous loop of fabric with alternating sheer and solid horizontal bands. The shade operates on a roller system that allows you to shift the fabric position precisely.
Aligned Position (Privacy Mode): When the sheer and solid bands are aligned, the solid bands overlap, providing enhanced privacy and light blockage while the sheer bands still allow some natural light to filter through.
Offset Position (View Mode): When the sheer and solid bands are offset, the sheer bands allow natural light to enter while the solid bands provide daytime privacy, creating a beautiful striped appearance on the window.
With motorized operation, you can achieve any position between fully open and fully closed, giving you unlimited control over the balance between light and privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between zebra shades and dual shades?

Can I see through zebra shades at night?
When interior lights are on at night, zebra shades provide privacy as the solid bands obscure visibility from outside while still allowing some light filtration through the sheer bands.
Are motorized zebra shades noisy?
No. Modern motorized zebra shades operate quietly and smoothly with minimal noise when adjusting positions.
Can zebra shades be controlled from my phone?
Yes. Most systems offer mobile app control, allowing you to adjust your zebra shades from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet.
Do zebra shades help with energy efficiency?
Yes. Zebra shades can reduce solar heat gain during peak sunlight hours while maintaining natural light, helping maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
