Grande 5" Ultra-Wide Band Zebra Shades
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.
