## Description

Airy and elegant, this zebra dual shade is a unique combination of alternating sheer and light filtering fabric stripes. When you line up the stripes, an abundance of filtered natural light fills the room. Staggered, the light filtering stripes completely fill the window providing privacy and additional light control. As you raise the shade, you can have a partially open window with any combination staggered or aligned stripes on the shade. The sheer stripes allow a view to the outside when aligned while the light filtering strips still provide a high degree of privacy. And with three different control systems to choose from, this window shade newcomer is here to stay.

Get to know this shade:

- Innovative design with two layers of fabric, made of 100% polyester, with alternating rows of sheer and light filtering material
- Raising the shade provides countless light and privacy combinations
- Shade can be completely lowered for complete privacy, fully open, 50/50 sheer and light filtering, and any combination of open and staggered

Why you'll love this shade:

- Provides a huge "wow" factor in your window with sleek looks and distinct functionality
- Dynamic light and privacy options – you decide how much or how little light to let through
- Three great lift options – beaded chain, simple and kid-friendly cordless, or convenient battery-powered motorization
- Helps block damaging UV rays from entering the room
- Meets all CPSC child safety guidelines

Key considerations:

- On shades with corded and cordless lift, the cassette and bottom rail will be color-coordinated
- Shades with motorized lift will have color-coordinated bottom rails and cassette with matching fabric insert
- The fabric will be 7/8" - 1 3/8" narrower (depending on lift option) than the ordered width due to the operating components and mounting brackets at the top of the shade

## How to measure

### How to Measure: Inside Mount

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 inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 7/8" for cordless shades, 1 7/8" for beaded chain lift shades, and 2 5/8" for motorized shades. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3". If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.

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 shortest. 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 1/8" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.

The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 7/8" – 1 3/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 11/16" 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.

### How to Measure: Outside Mount

Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 2" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. 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 width of the cassette at the top of the shade. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 7/8" – 1 3/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 11/16" on each side). 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 2-3" 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.

#### On The Trim

Width:

- We don't normally recommend mounting zebra dual shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the width of the cassette at the top of the shade. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim. Conversely, having the width of the fabric equal the width of your window trim will mean the top of the shade will extend beyond the width of the window 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

This shade is not suitable for installing on a door. The motion could cause the fabric to shift and telescope off the tube which will result in the material fraying on the edges.
