Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades near Fort Lauderdale, Florida (FL)

One of our favorite window treatments are named for their stripes: banded shades, also known as zebra shades. They are versatile roller-style shades that filter light elegantly. Comprised of horizontal interchanging sheer and opaque fabric bands, zebra shades offer privacy and light without compromising your view.

Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades Near Ft Lauderdale, FL

Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades combine alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric in a single horizontal shade. This innovative design allows you to align the solid bands of fabric to allow soft, natural light through the sheer sections. When partially open, the sheer bands maintain outward visibility while filtering UV rays. Simply overlap the solid bands to block visibility and light.

These banded zebra shades are available in small, medium, or large bands and several geometric shape designs in over 90 fabrications. We can customize your banded shades to fit windows as large as 107 inches wide and 120 inches tall. Choose from manual and automated control options to get the perfect shade for your home. Perfect for any window, these fit unique shapes like bay/corner windows, sliding patio doors, French doors, and picture windows as well.

But why do homeowners love Designer Banded Shades?

The Many Benefits of Zebra Banded Shades 

  • Elevated Ambiance: Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades create a soothing ambiance in any room. They are stunning on their own with a fabric-wrapped header, so there is no need for a valance or cornice. Whether you live in a mid-century ranch, a three-story Victorian, or a modern automated condo, zebra shades add beauty to any interior design style. 
  • Perfected Privacy: Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades offer unparalleled privacy. You can easily position the panels for privacy without compromising your view. You can rest assured that you can look out, but passersby cannot look in—perfect for when you want a dark, quiet spot for movie viewing or quiet days of reading in the cool. 
  • Easy-to-Use: Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades are super easy to operate manually, but they can also be motorized, giving you complete control of all your windows with one simple remote or voice control.
  • Durability: Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades are highly durable and easy to care for. Just wipe down with a very lightly dampened cloth for spot-cleaning or vacuum with your brush attachment on the lowest setting of your vacuum for easy maintenance.

Our Selection of Other Horizontal Window Shades

If zebra shades don’t suit your design style, Supershade South is home to a vast collection of other horizontal shades:

  • Cellular Shades are a perfect choice for improving your home’s energy efficiency. Their innovative design traps cold or hot air within their honeycomb-shaped pockets, in turn, creating a layer of added insulation which results in reducing your monthly energy consumption.
  • Woven Wood Shades are an excellent selection for adding a warm, earthy vibe to your home. We offer our woven wood shades in various textures and fabrics, so you are certain to find something that complements your home interior motif—from traditional to modern.
  • Roman Shades are another way to add a distinct look to your home. Their soft architectural folds create a timeless, classic look different from other window treatments.
