Product Description



« Back

Our Zebra Solar Screen Shades offer the same modern layered design as traditional zebra shades but with enhanced glare reduction and daytime view-through. These shades feature alternating bands of sheer fabric and solar screen fabric (5% openness), allowing you to enjoy softened natural daylight while still seeing outdoors. Align the bands for a clearer view with reduced glare, or close them for increased daytime privacy and controlled brightness. The shade can also be lifted like a standard roller shade for a completely open window.


The solar screen bands are engineered to let in just the right amount of natural light while minimizing glare on TVs, monitors, and reflective surfaces. These durable fabrics are attached in a loop configuration so that the shade has a front set of bands and a rear set, allowing precise alignment and smooth operation.


Cassette / Valance Information

  • Continuous Cord Loop Zebra Solar Shades are available with either a standard cassette (no fabric insert) or an upgraded fabric-insert cassette.

  • Cordless Zebra Solar Shades use a standard color-coordinated cassette (no fabric insert).

  • Motorized Zebra Solar Shades include a fabric-insert cassette only, paired with a coordinating fabric insert based on the selected shade color.


If you are matching a previous order, please contact customer service to ensure the correct cassette style and matching valance color are selected.

What are Zebra Solar Shades?





Zebra Solar Shades combine the layered design of zebra shades with solar screen fabric. The shade features alternating bands of sheer material and solar screen fabric that allow you to adjust the amount of light entering the room while maintaining an outdoor view.







How do Zebra Solar Shades control light?





Zebra Solar Shades use alternating bands of sheer fabric and solar screen fabric. When the bands align, the shade allows filtered daylight and view-through. When the solar fabric bands overlap, they reduce glare and brightness while increasing daytime privacy.







What does 5% openness mean in Zebra Solar Shades?





The 5% openness solar fabric allows a small percentage of natural light to pass through the shade while blocking most glare and UV rays. This openness level helps reduce brightness and heat while still allowing you to see outside during the day.







Do Zebra Solar Shades provide daytime privacy?





Yes. When the solar fabric bands overlap, they help reduce visibility from outside during the day while still allowing some light into the room. Because the fabric is designed for view-through, privacy levels may change depending on lighting conditions.







Are Zebra Solar Shades good for reducing glare?





Yes. Zebra Solar Shades are designed to soften harsh sunlight and reduce glare on televisions, computer screens, and furniture. The solar screen fabric helps filter intense daylight while maintaining a clear outward view.







Can Zebra Solar Shades still allow you to see outside?





Yes. The solar screen fabric is designed to preserve daytime visibility. When the sheer and solar bands are aligned, the shade allows natural light into the room while maintaining a view of the outdoors.







Are Zebra Solar Shades similar to roller shades?





Zebra Solar Shades operate similarly to roller shades but include two layers of fabric with alternating bands. This layered design allows more flexible light control compared to traditional single-fabric roller shades.







What rooms work best for Zebra Solar Shades?





Zebra Solar Shades are commonly used in living rooms, dining rooms, offices, and other areas where you want to reduce glare while still maintaining an outdoor view. They are especially helpful for windows that receive strong sunlight during the day.







Are Zebra Solar Shades a good option for modern interiors?





Yes. The layered fabric bands create a sleek, contemporary appearance that works well with modern decor. Zebra Solar Shades combine stylish design with practical light filtering performance.







What warranty is available for Zebra Solar Shades?





Zebra Solar Shades include a three-year warranty, with an optional upgrade available to extend coverage to five years.

Had a problem with the fit on the somewhat larger bulkhead on the shade so contacted Customer Service. They helped me out to choose the right shade and credited me back for the Zebra. Wish the Zebra would have worked out because it looks like a really great product. Recommend Blinds Chalet. Great Customer Service. Do make sure you pay the few dollars for the Fit Guarantee. It's worth it.
Ordered a mini-blind to replace the Zebra. Looking forward to getting it.

I have been buying from this company for years for me, family and I have recommended it to friends. Quality is unbeatable. I bought for my mom's house in 2015 and up to his day they look like new. They have a lot of choices to pick. I picked beige this time for my house and absolutely loved it. Customer service is very good. I strongly recommend it.
