Custom Zebra Blinds in Pickering & Durham Region
Zebra blinds are dual-layer roller shades with alternating sheer and solid fabric bands that let you switch between filtered light and full privacy. Rolling the fabric aligns the bands: line up the sheers for soft daylight, or line up the solids to close the view completely — without ever lifting the shade.
Why homeowners choose zebra blinds
- Continuous light control from full daylight to full privacy in one shade.
- Modern, clean look — the fabric cassette hides at the top.
- Wide fabric range: light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout.
- Cordless and motorized options are child- and pet-safe.
- Easy to operate on wide or tall windows.

Zebra blinds shine in living rooms, home offices, and dining rooms — anywhere you want to dial in daylight without closing the room off. For bedrooms, choose a blackout zebra or pair with a blackout roller.
Frequently asked questions
- How much do zebra blinds cost in Ontario?
- Installed zebra blinds in Ontario typically cost $180–$320 per standard window (up to 48" wide). Larger windows and blackout fabric bands run $320–$500. Prices include custom manufacture and professional installation.
- What's the difference between zebra blinds and roller shades?
- A zebra blind is a single roller shade woven with alternating sheer and solid horizontal bands. Rolling the fabric aligns either the sheer or solid bands, letting you switch between filtered daylight and full privacy without raising the shade.
- Are zebra blinds good for bedrooms?
- Standard zebra blinds let some light through even when closed. For bedrooms we recommend a blackout zebra blind (backing fabric added) or pairing with a blackout roller behind it.
- How long do zebra blinds last?
- Quality zebra blinds installed by a professional last 10–15 years. The mechanism is warrantied for 5 years and the fabric for 3 years by the manufacturer, plus our 5-year installation workmanship warranty.
- Can zebra blinds be motorized?
- Yes. We install rechargeable and hardwired motorized zebra blinds with app and voice control (Alexa, Google, HomeKit). Motorization adds roughly $180–$280 per window.
