BL2 Smooth Solid Zebra Shades

Sometimes the most powerful design statement is the simplest. BL2 Series Zebra Shades feature smooth, uniform polyester fabric with no texture, no slubs, no pattern—just pure, vibrant color. The fabric is calendared to a smooth, matte finish that reflects light evenly and reads as a solid plane from across the room. This clean, unadorned surface makes BL2 shades the perfect choice for modern, minimalist interiors where color is the star. The color palette is our most extensive, with over 30 shades ranging from soft neutrals to bold, saturated hues like Cobalt Blue, Emerald Green, and Ruby Red. Because the fabric is smooth, colors appear truer and more intense than on textured substrates. Available in 3-inch and 3.5-inch band widths, with light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout opaque band options. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. Color, amplified.

Ultra‑Smooth, Uniform Surface

BL2 fabric is calendared—pressed between heated rollers under controlled pressure—to create an exceptionally smooth, perfectly uniform surface. This process removes all visible weave texture and yarn variation, resulting in a fabric that reads as a solid, uninterrupted plane of color, even at close range. The ultra‑matte finish (gloss level <5) eliminates glare and hotspots for a refined, architectural look.

Vibrant, Saturated Color Palette

Because the surface is completely smooth and non‑textured, light scatters less, allowing colors to appear richer, deeper, and more saturated than on textured fabrics.

The BL2 palette includes:

  • Neutrals: Arctic White, Ivory, Light Grey, Greige, Taupe, Charcoal, Black

  • Blues: Sky, Slate, Navy, Cobalt, Teal

  • Greens: Sage, Moss, Emerald, Forest

  • Reds & Oranges: Terracotta, Burgundy, Ruby, Coral

  • Yellows & Golds: Butter, Mustard, Ochre

  • Purples: Lavender, Plum, Eggplant

All colors are solution‑dyed for long‑term fade resistance.

Ideal for Accent Windows & Color Blocking

BL2 shades are a favorite for accent windows and bold design statements. A vibrant Cobalt or Emerald shade can turn an ordinary window into a focal point. Designers also use BL2 for color‑blocking, installing multiple shades in coordinated or contrasting colors across adjacent windows for a modern, curated effect.

Consistent Color Across Opacities

BL2 fabric is available in light‑filtering, room‑darkening, and blackout constructions. The face color remains identical across all opacities; the blackout version simply adds a white backing. This allows you to mix opacities within a room—such as blackout in bedrooms and light‑filtering in living areas—while maintaining perfect color continuity.

Easy to Clean

The smooth, non‑porous surface resists dust and wipes clean effortlessly. Most smudges and fingerprints can be removed with a damp cloth, and the fabric will not water‑spot.

Commercial & Hospitality Grades

BL2 shades are available in Class A fire‑rated fabrics, making them suitable for hotels, restaurants, offices, and other commercial environments. The smooth surface is also resistant to graffiti and can be cleaned with mild solvents when necessary.
