What are Zebra Blinds?
Zebra roller blinds combine the look of roller shades with layered fabric. The fabric alternates between solid and sheer stripes, letting you easily control light and privacy throughout the day.
How do zebra blinds work? When the sheer and solid stripes from the two fabric layers align, natural light filters through and brightens the room. To reduce light and increase privacy, offset the layers so the solid stripes cover the sheer sections of the opposite layer.
At Linen Chest Canada, our ready-made zebra blinds and roller shades are stylish, affordable, and easy to install in any room.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between zebra blinds and roller shades?
Zebra blinds use dual-layered fabric with alternating sheer and solid stripes for adjustable light control. Roller shades are made from a single panel of fabric that rolls up and down.

Can I cut ready-made blinds to size?
No, most ready-made blinds are not designed to be cut. For a perfect fit, consider ordering from our custom window coverings.
Do zebra blinds offer full blackout?
Some zebra blinds are available with blackout fabric, but because of the layered design, they may not completely block all light. For total darkness, consider pairing them with blackout curtains.
Are these blinds safe for homes with children?
Cordless zebra blinds are a safe and stylish choice for homes with kids or pets. No dangling cords means fewer hazards and a cleaner, more streamlined look.
