Grande 5" Ultra-Wide Band Zebra Shades

For those who believe that more is more, Grande 5" Ultra-Wide Band Zebra Shades deliver maximum drama and minimum visual clutter. With bands nearly twice the width of standard zebra shades, the stripe count is reduced by 40%, creating a bold, rhythmic pattern that commands attention. This is not a subtle window treatment; it is a confident design choice for contemporary lofts, expansive great rooms, and commercial spaces. When the bands are aligned, the view is remarkably clear—fewer stripes means fewer interruptions. When staggered, the wide opaque bands overlap by 1.5 inches, creating a solid privacy barrier. Available in a limited palette of 8 high-impact colors: Arctic White, Black, Charcoal, Navy, Greige, Sand, Terracotta, Sage. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with motorized operation only (battery or hardwired). Because some statements are best made in wide stripes.

Maximum Visual Impact

The 5‑inch band is our widest zebra stripe—a deliberate, confident design choice that transforms a functional shade into an architectural feature. This scale excels in:

  • Great rooms with soaring 20‑foot ceilings

  • Commercial lobbies and reception areas

  • Modern lofts with industrial character

  • Conference rooms and corporate environments

This is not a shade that recedes into the background—it commands attention.

40% Fewer Visual Interruptions

Compared to a standard 3‑inch zebra shade, Grande 5" shades feature 40% fewer bands. When the sheer and opaque stripes align, the view becomes exceptionally clear and panoramic. Grande is the preferred choice for dramatic vistas where maintaining a strong visual connection to the outdoors is essential.

Superior Privacy Overlap

The wide opaque bands are engineered to overlap by 1.5 inches when staggered—50% more overlap than standard zebra shades. This creates an exceptionally tight privacy seal with no risk of gap‑induced light leaks.

Light blockage options:

  • 95% — Standard opaque

  • 100% — Blackout upgrade

Motorization Required

Due to the substantial weight of the 5‑inch bands, Grande shades are motorized only. Our high‑torque motors are calibrated specifically for the mass and rotation resistance of ultra‑wide zebra fabric.

Available motor types:

  • Battery motors — 3–5 year lifespan

  • Hardwired motors — Continuous power

All motors include soft‑start/soft‑stop technology for smooth, quiet operation.

8‑Color High‑Impact Palette

Grande 5" shades are offered in eight bold, high‑impact colors:

Arctic White, Black, Charcoal, Navy, Greige, Sand, Terracotta, Sage

All colors are solution‑dyed for fade resistance and backed by a 10‑year warranty. (Linen and heathered textures are not available in this collection.)

Commercial‑Grade Construction

Grande shades are built with commercial‑grade components, including:

  • Heavy‑wall aluminum roller tubes (0.065‑inch thickness)

  • Reinforced mounting brackets

  • High‑cycle motors tested to 50,000 operations

They are engineered for high‑traffic commercial environments as well as luxury residential installations.
