Product Information
Our zebra dual shades take the best of multiple types of window coverings and combine them into an original design that you'll wish you knew about sooner. The way the two layers of fabric on this shade work together, with their alternating bands of sheer and room darkening fabric, is the real secret to this shades superpowers. Completely lower the shade and stagger the fabric bands and it's like a room darkening roller shade. Raise the shade up a little so the bands are alternating sheer and room darkening and it's like a wood blind with the slats open. Keep raising your new zebra shade and you can let light in from the bottom and decide how much comes through on top – a lot, a little or none. Plus you can still view through the sheer bands with the shade partially raised, something no traditional roller window covering can do!

- Sheer fabric stripes allow UV filtered light through, or the room darkening stripes block nearly all the light when you need them

- Features three available lift options for convenient and easy operation
Why you'll love this shade:
- The combination of sheer and opaque fabric gives you light and airy when you want it, or dimmed and private when you don't
- Room darkening fabric, made of 100% polyester, provides even greater light control when needed
- Blocks harmful UV rays and helps control heat gain to make your home more comfortable
- Upgrade to easy-lift cordless (recommended for kids and pets) or go motorized for push-button control
- Meets all CPSC requirements for child safety
Key considerations:

- Motorized shades have color-coordinated hardware, including cassette headrail with matching fabric insert
- The fabric will be 7/8" - 1 3/8" narrower (depending on lift option) than the ordered width due to the operating components and mounting brackets at the top of the shade

How to Measure
How to Measure: Inside Mount
3 min read
Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:
- Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 7/8" for cordless shades, 1 7/8" for beaded chain lift shades, and 2 5/8" for motorized shades. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3". If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.
How to Measure:
Let's start with the Width:
- Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width.
Now, let's do the Height:
- Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the shortest. That is your ordering height.
Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/8" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.
The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 7/8" – 1 3/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 11/16" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product.
No deductions will be made to the ordered height.
How to Measure: Outside Mount
3 min read
Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 2" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade.
If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.
Your ordered width will be the width of the cassette at the top of the shade. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 7/8" – 1 3/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 11/16" on each side). If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider – just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.
Width:
- Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
- Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.
Height:
- Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
- Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

- Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.
Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance.
Width:
- We don't normally recommend mounting zebra dual shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the width of the cassette at the top of the shade. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim. Conversely, having the width of the fabric equal the width of your window trim will mean the top of the shade will extend beyond the width of the window trim.
- Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. That is your ordering width.
- Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered width.
Height:
- Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.
This shade is not suitable for installing on a door. The motion could cause the fabric to shift and telescope off the tube which will result in the material fraying on the edges.

These do the trick- keep the early morning sun out of my guest room while looking great!
Kay
I was a little skeptical because the price was much lower than other companies. However I was pleasantly surprised with the simple process, quick delivery and excellent quality. I have now purchased 4 blinds and very pleased.
Alejandro
The best I recommend 100%
Jose
I previously ordered Zebra blinds for a few windows in my home. I was extremely happy with them and decided to purchase additional Zebra blinds for all my windows. I absolutely love them, they are light, easy to use, and look great! Blindster is very professional, informative and the entire process from measuring, ordering and receiving was easy!
Louann
Our first zebra blinds ordered. Easy to e Install. Love them!
Craig
Love them ; just what we envisioned.
David
If I had been standing on the floor, the install would have been a snap. However, we needed the blind on a window in our 2-story foyer, so I had to be 14 feet up on a ladder.Regardless, this blind will help keep the foyer cooler during hot weather. Very pleased with the product.
Pam
I am extremely pleased with the shade I purchased. The quality is outstanding! . Direction were clear which made installation easy. Measurement was spot on!
Lorraine
The whole process was quite satisfying, from ordering to installation. The blinds fit perfectly and there was only one minor issue. The instructions to release the tension plunger could have been a little clearer. After a brief installation stoppage, I was able to figure it out on my own.
Frances
The ordering process is easy. The production time frame is great. They were delivered in a reasonable amount of time and they look great.
