What to Consider When Selecting a Dual Shade or Zebra Shade

It’s best to first consider where your custom dual or zebra shade will be in your home. For areas where you need maximum light control, like a bedroom, office, or media room, blackout fabrics are recommended. For areas where light and bright room will always be welcomed, choose a light-filtering shade. Is the window large or hard to reach? Consider upgrade to a motorized lift so you can control your shades from anywhere in the house, with just the touch of a button. Wherever you decide to put these shades, you’ll enjoy their sleek, contemporary appearance and their ability to effortlessly manage light and privacy levels.

Customizable Options for Sheer Shades

Light Control Options

• Light Filtering: Combining a layer of light filtering fabric with the sheer shade fabric will keep your room light and bright all day long. At night, switching to the light filtering fabric will give you much more privacy compared to a thin sheer shade.
• Blackout: While the sheer layer will still let in plenty of light, switching to the blackout or room darkening layer will give you total privacy and light blockage. An ideal choice for media rooms and bedrooms.

Lift Options

• Cord Loop: A continuous cord loop is secured to the wall for smooth and easy operation, especially for larger windows.
• Motorized: Upgrade to motorization to control your shades with the touch of a button. Most motorized products are opearted with a remote control. Include a home automation option to control your shades using the smart devices in your home. On some products, you may also choose a rechargeable motorized wand for an economical, entry-level motorizaed choice.
