Why it works in UAE homes
They control glare on screens and keep rooms bright without opening the whole window, which suits UAE apartments with wide glass. Zebra blinds dim light rather than block it, so bedrooms that need darkness are better with blackout.
Options we offer
Available in neutral and bold colours, with chain or motorised control and a neat cassette at the top.
Best For
Living rooms, offices and bedrooms wanting one blind for both day and night

How zebra blinds work
Zebra blinds have two layers of fabric with alternating sheer and solid bands. When the bands line up, light passes through the sheer stripes. When they overlap, the solid bands give privacy. One pull moves between the two.
Do zebra blinds give full darkness?
No. Even closed, a little light comes through, so they are best for privacy and light control rather than total darkness. For bedrooms that need to be dark, choose blackout roller blinds or add blackout curtains.
Care and cleaning
Vacuum gently with a soft brush and wipe marks with a damp cloth. Avoid pulling the fabric sideways, which can twist the bands.
Measuring
Zebra blinds fit inside or outside the recess like roller blinds. Our guide on how to measure for blinds explains both.
Questions about zebra blinds
What is the difference between zebra and roller blinds?
A roller blind is one layer of fabric. A zebra blind has two layers with sheer and solid bands, so you can adjust light without raising it.
Are zebra blinds good for privacy?
Yes, when the solid bands overlap. In daylight mode some view in is possible, especially at night with lights on.
Can zebra blinds be motorised?
Yes. Zebra blinds can be motorised and controlled by remote, app or voice assistant.
Are zebra blinds easy to clean?
Yes. Regular dusting with a soft brush and spot-cleaning with a damp cloth keeps them looking fresh.
