The smart homeowner’s guide to different types of zebra blinds
Not all zebra blinds are the same. Each type is designed to solve a different need. Whether it’s softening sunlight, holding your sea view, or switching to full privacy at night. At The Window Boutique, we offer three distinct types of vision blinds so you can choose exactly what works for your space.
Sheer-band zebra blinds
Soft, airy bands that hold your view while filtering glare, ideal for living rooms.

Wide sheer bands for maximum daylight and view.
UV-filtering weave protects furniture from fading.
Ideal rooms
Perfect for lounges, dining rooms and sea-facing glass.
Customisation options
Wide colour palettes across our Coulisse, Taylor and Focus ranges.
Dim-out zebra blinds
Denser opaque bands for deeper privacy and softer evening light.

Tightly woven bands cut glare and dim the room.
Full privacy the moment bands are aligned closed.

Great for bedrooms, TV lounges and street-facing rooms.
Customisation options
Bold and neutral tones, made to measure for any window.

Why choose zebra blinds
Light control like no other blind
Alternating sheer and opaque bands let you tune daylight by degrees. Slide the bands into line for an open view, offset them for filtered light, or close them fully for privacy, all without lifting the blind.
One blind, three moods
Morning view, afternoon glare control, evening privacy. A zebra blind moves through all three with one smooth chain pull or the touch of a motor button.
Clean, contemporary design
Zebra blinds roll as neatly as a standard roller but with a striped, layered depth that reads as tailored, not busy. They sit flush in the recess and pair beautifully with motorised blinds for whole-home automation.

Frequently asked questions
Can zebra blinds be motorised?
Yes. We motorise zebra blinds with whisper-quiet Somfy and MotionBlinds motors, via remote, smartphone app or smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home. Motorisation removes cords entirely, the safest option around children, and suits high or hard-to-reach windows perfectly.
How do I clean zebra blinds?
Zebra blinds are low-maintenance. Dust the bands with a feather duster or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment on low suction. For marks, dab gently with a barely damp cloth and mild soap, working along the band, and let it dry fully before rolling. Never soak the fabric. Consult our team for tailored care instructions.
What are vision blinds?
Vision blinds and zebra blinds are the same product, also sold as day and night, double roller or Turkish blinds. Two layers of striped fabric move past each other. Sliding the bands lines up sheer with sheer for an open view, or sheer with opaque for privacy. Automated automated motorised blinds are available across our vision ranges, and professional installation by our own team is standard.
Do zebra blinds give full blackout?
No, and honest advice matters here. The bands always allow a soft glow through fine gaps, which is perfect for living spaces but not for total-darkness sleepers. For bedrooms we recommend layering blackout curtains over the blind or choosing a blackout roller instead.
Which rooms suit zebra blinds best?
Best rooms for vision blinds:
- Light-filtering: sheer bands hold the view while filtering glare.
- Lounges and dining rooms: tune brightness through the day without losing style.
- Bedrooms: dim-out bands for privacy; add curtains for full darkness.
- Offices: cut screen glare while keeping daylight and outlook.
Neutral tones such as white, linen and grey remain the most popular across our ranges.
