SolidStripe 3" Opaque Band Zebra Shades
100% Opaque Bands
Unlike standard zebra shades—where “opaque” bands often transmit 5–10% of light—SolidStripe uses TripleCell blackout fabric for every opaque band. Each band is a three‑layer construction:
-
Decorative face
-
Dense black light‑absorbing core
-
White heat‑reflective backing
When the bands overlap, light transmission is 0.00%. This is true blackout, not room‑darkening, and delivers the same performance as our premium blackout roller shades.
Dramatic Graphic Contrast
The pairing of sheer, translucent panels with fully opaque blackout bands creates maximum visual contrast. The stripes appear crisp, architectural, and highly defined—never soft or muted.
This bold graphic quality is ideal for:
-
Modern interiors
-
Minimalist spaces
-
Industrial lofts
Choose high‑contrast pairs (White/Black, Ivory/Charcoal) for dramatic impact, or tonal combinations (Light Grey/Dark Grey) for a more subtle, design‑forward look.
Ideal for Bedrooms & Media Rooms
SolidStripe solves the biggest limitation of traditional zebra shades: residual light. With standard zebra fabrics, even fully overlapped bands allow some glow. SolidStripe eliminates this entirely.
You get:
-
The adjustable light control of a zebra shade
-
The total darkness of a blackout roller shade
Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and any space where darkness matters.
Two‑Color Construction
Unlike standard zebra shades—where sheer and opaque bands share the same color—SolidStripe allows distinct colors for each band type. Examples include:
-
Sheer White + Opaque Black
-
Sheer Ivory + Opaque Charcoal
-
Sheer Light Grey + Opaque Navy
This two‑tone capability is exclusive to the SolidStripe collection.
12‑Color Palette
SolidStripe shades are available in 12 designer colors for both sheer and opaque bands:
Arctic White, Ivory, Sand, Light Grey, Greige, Taupe, Charcoal, Black, Navy, Sage, Terracotta, Mocha
Custom color combinations are available through our Premier program (minimums apply).
Enhanced UV Protection
Even with fully opaque blackout bands, the sheer panels still block 85% of UV radiation. When the shade is partially open, your furnishings receive meaningful protection. When fully closed, the blackout bands provide 100% UV blockage.
