Innovation meets artistry

A modern and versatile window treatment that will transform any room. Banded shades, also referred to as dual shades or zebra shades, combine solid and sheer linear bands to form a single shade that gives you precise light control. When aligned, solid bands seamlessly block natural light and ensure privacy; when shifted, the sheer bands transition to diffuse light and reveal the view.

Colors & Fabrics

Solid bands and lineal sheers unite for a gorgeous combination of colorful accents or neutral hues. From translucent styles that bring your space to life to room darkening shades that help put you to sleep — a perfect solution awaits.
