Zebra Blinds

Two blinds in one. Made-to-measure day-night blinds for homes and offices in Pretoria East & Centurion

Two Blinds in One

A zebra blind pairs the easy operation of a roller blind with the light control of a venetian. It's made from two layers of fabric, each with alternating sheer and solid stripes, and the front layer slides past the back one as you move the blind.

Line the sheer stripes up to soften the sun and keep your view, or offset them so the solid stripes close for privacy. Every blind comes standard in a sleek cassette with a matching fabric insert, and you can run it with a chain or a motor.

Zebra blinds are also known as vision blinds or double rollers.

  • Made to measure up to 3000 × 3000mm
  • 7 fabric ranges in 33 colours

  • Cassette with fabric insert as standard

How Zebra Blinds Work

One blind, three ways to use it. Stop it wherever you like to get exactly the light you want.

Open

Sheer stripes line up with sheer stripes. Daylight filters through softly and you keep your view.

Closed

Solid stripes line up with solid stripes for privacy, while your chosen designer fabric stays on show.

Raised

Roll the whole blind up into its cassette for a clear window, just like a roller blind.

Zebra Blind FAQs

What is a zebra blind?

A zebra blind is a roller-style blind made from two layers of fabric with alternating solid and sheer stripes. Moving the front layer past the back one lines the stripes up to let light in, or offsets them for privacy. Zebra blinds are also known as vision blinds or double rollers.

Do zebra blinds give full privacy?

Yes. When the solid stripes of both layers line up, the blind closes for privacy, while the fabric itself softens bright sunlight. For complete darkness in a bedroom, a blockout roller blind is the better choice.

How big can a zebra blind be?

All our zebra fabrics go up to a 3000mm drop. Most go up to 2800mm wide, the standard Zebra range up to 2600mm, and the Luxury range up to 3000mm wide. Larger windows can be split into two or more blinds.

Can zebra blinds be motorised?

Yes. Every zebra blind can be fitted with an Ambient motor or a Somfy motor in place of the control chain, so you can raise, lower and adjust it from a remote.

What is the Triple Sheer zebra blind?

Triple Sheer has two sheer layers with soft fabric vanes between them. It looks like a venetian blind but feels like a zebra blind, and you tilt the vanes to control light and privacy.
