GameRoom Blackout Zebra Shades

Media rooms are hybrid spaces—movie sanctuaries, gaming arenas, sports viewing parties. All require the same foundation: total control over ambient light. GameRoom Blackout Zebra Shades deliver 100% darkness when you need it, and soft, diffused light when you don't. The opaque bands are constructed from our TripleCell blackout fabric, achieving 0.00% light transmission when staggered. Yet when the bands are aligned, the sheer panels admit soft, diffused daylight, transforming your media room into a bright, welcoming space. No need to raise the shades; no need to choose between darkness and light. Available in 3-inch band width only, with a curated palette of deep, glare-absorbing colors: Charcoal, Graphite, Navy, Forest, and Black. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with motorized operation recommended. Victory is sweeter in the dark.

TripleCell 100% Blackout Opaque Bands

GameRoom shades use our TripleCell blackout fabric, built from three ultrasonically welded layers: a decorative face, a dense black light‑absorbing core, and a white heat‑reflective backing. Independent testing confirms 0.00% light transmission through the opaque bands. When staggered, the bands overlap by ½ inch, forming a continuous blackout barrier ideal for gaming, streaming, and media use.

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—or tap your remote—to align the sheer and opaque bands. This is perfect for media rooms that double as family spaces, or when you need to move around during a game without blowing out your screen contrast.

Glare‑Absorbing Dark Palette

GameRoom fabrics come in deep, saturated hues chosen to minimize light bounce and screen reflections:

  • Charcoal — Neutral dark grey, highly versatile

  • Graphite — Warm, brown‑based grey

  • Navy — Rich blue‑black

  • Forest — Earthy, immersive green

  • Black — True matte black

All colors feature a matte finish (gloss <5) to eliminate veiling reflections on monitors and TVs.

Motorization with Gaming Integration

GameRoom shades are motorized as standard. Choose from:

  • 24V DC hardwired motors — Unlimited runtime, invisible power

  • Battery motors — Rechargeable lithium‑ion, 3–5 year battery life

All motors include soft‑start/soft‑stop technology for silent, fluid movement. For PC gamers, optional RGB lighting integration syncs shade operation with gaming peripherals via Razer Chroma or Corsair iCUE, creating a fully immersive lighting ecosystem.

Side Channels & Bottom Seal Options

For absolute darkness, add optional side channels and a magnetic bottom seal. Side channels mount to the window jambs and use nylon brush pile to block edge light. The magnetic bottom bar connects to a metal sill strip, sealing the lower edge for a true blackout gaming environment.
