Layered – Zebra Shades
Zebra or layered shades are a type of window covering that combine the functionality of a roller shade with the light control and privacy of a blind. They are made of two layers of fabric, usually a sheer and a opaque one, that can be adjusted to control the amount of light entering a room. The fabric vanes can be tilted open or closed to create a layered look, similar to the stripes of a zebra.
Some benefits of zebra or layered shades include:
- Light control: The vanes can be adjusted to control the amount of light entering a room, which can be useful for reducing glare on computer screens and creating the right lighting for different tasks.
- Privacy: The vanes can be adjusted to provide privacy by closing the vanes or slats.
- Energy efficiency: Zebra shades can help to keep a room cool in the summer and warm in the winter by trapping air between the slats, which can help to reduce energy costs.
- Aesthetics: They have a unique and stylish appearance that can complement many different decor styles.
- Variety of options: They are available in a variety of styles and designs, including cordless or motorized options, making them easy to operate and safe for households with kids or pets.
- Durability: Zebra shades are made of sturdy materials such as polyester and are easy to clean and maintain, which makes them a good choice for homes and offices.
- UV protection: Zebra shades can protect your furniture and flooring from the sun’s UV rays.
Zebra shades can be more expensive than other types of window coverings, however they are a beautiful and functional product for both the office and home.
