Eclipse Blackout Zebra Shades

Blackout zebra shades are the ultimate fusion of function and flexibility. Unlike traditional blackout shades that must be raised to admit light, Eclipse Blackout Zebra Shades allow you to enjoy soft, diffused daylight simply by aligning the bands. When you need total darkness for sleep, movies, or privacy, a slight rotation of the wand staggers the bands, and the opaque blackout panels overlap to create a continuous, impenetrable barrier. The opaque bands are constructed from our TripleCell blackout fabric—a three-layer laminate with a decorative face, a dense black light-absorbing core, and a white heat-reflective backing. Independent testing confirms 0.00% light transmission. Yet the sheer bands remain beautifully translucent, preserving your connection to the outdoors when open. Available in 3-inch and 3.5-inch band widths, with a curated palette of 12 colors. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless wand tilt, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. Darkness when you want it, light when you don't.

TripleCell 100% Blackout Opaque Bands

Eclipse shades use our TripleCell blackout fabric, engineered with three fused layers: a decorative face, a dense black light‑absorbing core, and a white heat‑reflective backing. These layers are ultrasonically welded into a single, durable structure. Independent testing confirms 0.00% light transmission through the opaque bands. When staggered, the bands overlap by ½ inch, creating a continuous blackout barrier with no pinholes, no glow, and no gaps.

Adjustable Light Without Raising the Shade

The defining advantage of blackout zebra shades is the ability to shift from total darkness to soft daylight without lifting the shade. Rotate the wand to align the sheer and opaque bands, and gentle, diffused light enters the room—while privacy remains intact. This is invaluable in bedrooms facing neighbors and in nurseries where you want to check on a sleeping baby without flooding the room with light.

Thermal Insulation & Energy Savings

The dense TripleCell construction provides meaningful thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer through windows by up to 35%. Eclipse shades help keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter, improving comfort and lowering energy costs. The white backing reflects solar radiation, further reducing heat gain.

Noise Reduction for Quieter Spaces

The multi‑layer blackout bands also absorb sound, reducing perceived noise from traffic, neighbors, and household activity by up to 30%. Eclipse shades create a calmer, quieter environment—ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, home theaters, and any space where peace matters.

12‑Color Palette

Eclipse blackout zebra shades are available in twelve versatile colors:

Arctic White, Ivory, Sand, Light Grey, Greige, Taupe, Mocha, Charcoal, Navy, Sage, Terracotta, Black

All fabrics are solution‑dyed for fade resistance. The blackout backing is white and completely invisible from the room side.

Motorization Recommended for Wide Widths

Blackout fabrics are heavier than standard zebra materials. For widths over 72 inches, we recommend continuous cord loop or motorized operation. Cordless wand tilt is available for widths up to 60 inches.
