Custom Banded Shades in East Austin, TX

  1. Window Shades
Banded shades, also called layered or zebra shades, use alternating sheer and solid fabric bands to create a distinctive modern look. Align the bands to let in filtered light or increase privacy with a simple adjustment.

    One Shade, Multiple Ways to Control Light

    Banded or zebra shades combine translucent and opaque horizontal fabric bands for a sleek, contemporary window treatment. By adjusting their alignment, you can move between filtered daylight and greater privacy without changing coverings.

    Choose from a range of fabrics, colors, and operating options that complement your interior style.

    Banded shades have alternating sheer and solid horizontal fabric stripes. They are also commonly called layered, dual, or zebra shades.

    You move the fabric layers to align or overlap the sheer and opaque bands. This adjusts how much daylight passes through and changes privacy.

    Overlapping the opaque sections can increase privacy, but coverage depends on the fabric and lighting. For maximum nighttime privacy, review the opacity of the selected product.

    Yes. Select layered shade systems offer motorized operation, depending on product dimensions and manufacturer.

    They use a similar rolling format, but banded shades have two layers of striped fabric that can be aligned for flexible light and privacy, unlike a standard single-layer roller shade.

    Set the Mood with Layered Light

    Align the sheer bands for softer daylight or shift the solid bands to create a more private setting. Banded shades bring visual interest to windows while offering a different type of adjustment from standard roller shades.

    Explore neutral tones or bolder finishes to suit your space, and ask about motorized options for additional convenience.
