What is Zebra Blinds
Room Darkening Zebra Sheer Shades are one of our most beloved window treatments, combining the elegant look of a roller shade with the functionality of horizontal blinds. These zebra shades are made with two layers of fabric, each featuring alternating stripes of varying widths — four different sizes of solid color stripes, each paired with matching transparent stripes (exact sizes depend on the color you choose).
When the stripes on both layers align, the shades create the look of horizontal blinds, allowing you to enjoy outdoor views and softly filtered natural light. For more privacy or light blocking, simply rotate the fabric so the solid color stripes cover the entire shade, giving the appearance of a traditional roller shade.

How to Measure
Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window!
Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:
Measure the depth of your window from the back to the front where the shade will be mounted. For an inside mount, a minimum depth of 2" is required to securely install the brackets. To achieve a flush mount (fully recessed inside the window opening), a depth of 3 3/4" is required. If your window depth does not meet these requirements, please consider an outside mount or a different product option.
How to Measure:
Let's start with the Width:
- Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width.
Now, let's do the Height:
- Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.
Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/2" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.
The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" – 1 1/2" narrower than the ordered width (up to 1/2" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product.
No deductions will be made to the ordered height.
Video: How to Measure for Inside Mount
Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 2 1/8" for shades with a cassette valance. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade.
If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.
Your ordered width will be the "tip to tip" measurement, which is the widest part of the top of the shade including the brackets and cassette valance (if applicable). The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1/2" – 1" narrower than the ordered width. If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider — just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.
Above the Window (No Trim)›
Width:
Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-4" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window— that is your ordering width.
Height:
Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.
Above the Trim›
Width:
Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on either side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including any desired extra space on each side of the window— that is your ordering width.
Height:
Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.
Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance. If your trim is 3/4" or thicker, we recommend using the extended bracket with slot.
On The Trim›
Width:
We don't normally recommend mounting roller shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the bracket to bracket measurement which cannot exceed the width of your trim. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim.
Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. That is your ordering width.
Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered width.
Height:
Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.
Door Mount›
Width:
Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2-4" wider for better light control.
Height:
Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height.
