Zebra shades, or dual sheer shades, have a distinctive appearance with alternating bands of translucent and light filtering or room darkening stripes. Zebra blinds are a modern take on horizontal blinds. These roller shades are adjustable, offering you the greatest control over the amount of light coming through and privacy. Zebra blinds are operated by a chain on the side that allows you to adjust the position of the stripes or retract the blind completely.
