Premier Premium Zebra Shades

The Premier Premium Zebra Shades collection represents the pinnacle of zebra shade craftsmanship. Here you will find fabrics sourced from premier European mills, featuring rich designer colors and sophisticated textures not available in our standard collections. The opaque bands are woven from high-density polyester with a subtle, linen-like slub; the sheer panels are engineered from optically clear yarns that maintain view-through clarity while blocking 85% of UV radiation. Hardware is upgraded to our silent-glide mechanism with precision bearings, and the roller tube is reinforced for widths up to 144 inches. The color palette is curated by professional interior designers and includes complex, nuanced hues—warmed greiges, dusty blues, softened terracottas—that cannot be achieved with standard dye formulations. Available in 3-inch and 3.5-inch band widths, with cordless wand tilt, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. For clients who demand the very best.

European‑Sourced Fabrics

Premier fabrics are woven by specialty textile mills in Italy and Germany that partner with us exclusively for the North American market. These mills use advanced air‑jet weaving technology to produce fabrics with exceptional uniformity, clarity, and hand feel. Yarns are solution‑dyed in small batches, allowing for deeper, more saturated colors and tighter quality control than mass‑production methods.

Designer‑Curated Palette

Developed in collaboration with interior designers and refreshed seasonally, the Premier palette includes:

  • Warm Neutrals: Oyster, Flax, Mink, Pecan

  • Cool Neutrals: Pearl, Silver, Flint, Graphite

  • Blues: Dusty Blue, Slate, Ink

  • Greens: Sage, Moss, Eucalyptus

  • Earth Tones: Terracotta, Clay, Umber

  • Accents: Blush, Butter, Lavender

These exclusive colors are not available in our standard collections.

Silent‑Glide Tilt Mechanism

Premier shades feature our premium silent‑glide tilt mechanism, engineered with precision‑ground steel gears and sealed bearings. The result is near‑silent operation, exceptionally smooth movement, and 20,000+ tilt cycles—double the industry standard. Band alignment remains precise, with no drift, chatter, or backlash.

Optical‑Grade Sheer Panels

The sheer panels are woven from multi‑lobed polyester fibers with a triangular cross‑section. This unique geometry scatters light less than round fibers, producing dramatically clearer view‑through. Colors appear truer, edges sharper, and the typical “haze” seen in standard sheers is virtually eliminated.

Reinforced Roller Tube

Premier roller tubes are fabricated from 0.065‑inch extruded aluminum, making them 50% thicker than standard tubes. This reinforcement prevents flexing on wide spans—up to 144 inches—and ensures the bands remain perfectly aligned across the entire width of the shade.

Extended 10‑Year Warranty

Premier shades are backed by a comprehensive 10‑year warranty covering fabrics, bands, hardware, and motors. This is the longest warranty in the zebra‑shade industry and reflects the durability and craftsmanship of the Premier collection.

Bespoke Color Matching

For designers working on custom palettes, Premier offers bespoke color matching on select fabric bases. Minimums apply (typically 50 yards), and we can match any Pantone, Sherwin‑Williams, or Benjamin Moore color for a truly tailored project.
