Frequently Asked Questions
Zebra / Layered Shades — Common Questions
How do zebra shades work?+
Zebra shades (also called layered or transitional shades) have alternating horizontal bands of sheer and opaque fabric. When the bands are aligned, light filters softly through the sheer sections. When offset, the opaque bands overlap to block light and provide privacy — all with a single smooth pull.
Are zebra shades good for privacy?+
Yes. When the opaque bands are aligned, zebra shades provide full privacy. During the day, you can position the bands to allow soft light while still maintaining privacy from outside views — making them a popular choice for living rooms and bedrooms in NKY homes.
Can zebra shades be motorized?+
Yes. Motorized zebra shades are available with remote, app, or voice control via Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Motorized operation is especially convenient for large windows or hard-to-reach installations.
