Zebra Blinds in Toronto & the GTA
Zebra blinds (also called day-night, dual or layered shades) use two layers of fabric with alternating sheer and solid bands. Line the bands up for a soft, filtered view; offset them for privacy. They are the most requested blind in Toronto condos and new builds because they look clean, go cordless, and suit almost every window.

- Living rooms
- Bedrooms (blackout fabric)

How zebra blinds are quoted
Every window is different, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all prices. Your quote depends on window size, fabric or material, operation (cordless, chain or motorized) and mount. After a free in-home measure, you get a clear written quote per window — before tax, with no inflated "sale" pricing.

Do zebra blinds block all light?
Standard zebra fabrics filter light and give privacy but do not black out a room. For bedrooms we recommend a blackout zebra fabric or a blackout roller shade, which we can pair with drapery for full darkness.
Are zebra blinds good for condos?
Yes. They are the most popular choice in GTA condos: slim cassettes, cordless operation, and white or neutral backings that many condo boards require on street-facing windows.
How do I clean zebra blinds?
Dust with a soft brush or vacuum brush attachment, and spot-clean marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not soak the fabric.
