Recommendations and Limitations
Important Notes and Motorization Details
Important Notes
- There may be a +/- 1/8 inch measurement discrepancy. When measuring curtain dimensions, do not account for factory deductions. Detailed deduction information can be found in the table below.
- In order to ensure uniform fabric alignment, it is critical that you indicate on your order whether shades are to be installed side-by-side or in the same room.
- Fabric colour can vary from one dye lot to another. To ensure that all materials are from the same dye lot, please order shades for the same room at the same time.
Additional Information
- According to legal requirements, safety devices must be installed on chains to prevent the formation of hanging loops. The safety device should be installed at the farthest point from the control mechanism to prevent slack in the cord loop.
- Continuous cord loops come with white chains.
- Fabric-inserted cassette tracks use the same fabric as the curtain, with the fabric direction consistent with the curtain. The matching bottom rail is white.
- Aluminum cassettes are available in five colors, with the bottom rail matching the cassette color.
- Product can only be mounted to the top or rear of window casing. Side mounts not available.
- Because of the design of this window treatment, no extra fabric is added to roller.
- Depending on the height of the shade, opaque sections may not align in the fully lowered position.
Motorization Details
- Motorized remotes are not included. At least one remote is required per order, and one motorized charger is included in each order.
- It is strongly recommended to set up a dedicated channel for each curtain.
- A 15-channel remote can operate one curtain per channel, controlling up to 15 curtains in total.
- The remote range is approximately 260 feet.
- An additional Hub allows control of motorized curtains via Alexa and the free, downloadable Tuya Smart app, compatible with iOS and Android systems.

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.
This room-darkening collection is crafted from knitted polyester, ensuring durability and style. The evenly weighted bottom rail keeps the fabric hanging perfectly smooth, offering a clean and polished look every time.
