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.
