Dual or Zebra Shades
The perfect balance of privacy and light control. Layered Shades (widely known as Zebra Blinds or Dual Shades) are rapidly becoming the top choice for modern North Jersey homes. They feature alternating sheer and solid fabric bands that allow you to shift between a clear view and complete privacy without ever fully raising the shade.
Versatile Design Whether you want a soft filtered glow or a darkened room, these shades do it all with a simple adjustment. Made in the Shade offers an exclusive selection of textures, from bold geometric patterns for contemporary living rooms to subtle weaves for cozy bedrooms.
Effortless Alignment Because these shades look best when the stripes are perfectly aligned, they are the #1 candidate for automation. Select Electric Layered Shades to adjust multiple windows simultaneously with a single tap. Schedule your free in-home consultation today, and our experts will ensure a perfect fit for your windows.

| Sheer Bands | Always clear; provides the "View" | The stripes between the solid bands |
FAQ
Can I roll them all the way up?
Yes. When you want an unobstructed view of the outdoors, the entire shade retracts fully into the headrail (cassette), giving your window a clean, open look.
Do they provide full blackout?
-
This is important to know: Because the two layers of fabric need to slide past each other, there is a tiny gap between them. Even with room-darkening fabrics, you may see thin slivers of light (the “halo effect”). For 100% darkness, we recommend adding drapery side panels.
Are they hard to adjust manually?
They are easy to use, but aligning the stripes perfectly by hand can sometimes be tricky on large windows. That is why most of our clients choose automation. Visit our Motorization page to see how you can align every window in the room with one click.
