Your search is over! Our Premium Zebra Dual Shades have it all, including gorgeous fabrics, stunning appearance, captivating design, and customizable features. These shades elevate any décor, and are especially suited to either contemporary or casual styles.The shade features two layers of a unique fabric that has alternating bands of room darkening privacy fabric in a variety of colors and patterns, and sheer fabric that softly diffuses light. As the shade is raised and lowered, the bands on the front of the shade alternate with the bands on the back of the shade to provide either full privacy room darkening when like bands are staggered, or diffused light and views to the outside when like bands are aligned. The effect is enchanting! Customize your shade with your choice of color, lift mechanism (cord loop, cordless or motorized) and optional features to get the perfect new look for your windows. Get to know this shade: - Two layers of material with alternating bands of sheer and room darkening fabric - Fabric bands can be aligned for partial coverage, or staggered for full privacy and light blocking - Choose from multiple décor-friendly colors in two different fabric styles - Room darkening bands are 3" tall, and sheer bands are 2" tall (Splendor fabric has 2 5/16" sheer bands) - Customizable features include color, lift options, and installation type Why you'll love this shade: - Eye-catching design offers complete privacy and significant light blocking when the shade is fully lowered and the fabric bands are staggered, or raise the shade just slightly for moderate light control and outside views through the sheer bands - Specially designed sheer material gently diffuses light while maximizing clear view to the outside with limited moire blurring - Choose between standard continuous cord loop, smooth operating cordless, or convenient remote-controlled motorized lift to raise and lower your shades - Extension pole is available in conjunction with cordless lift, to help raise and lower shades in tall or hard to reach windows - Cassette valance with matching fabric insert hides the roller tube and operating components and provides a uniform look - All lift types meet CPSC child safety guidelines Key considerations: - Shade components including beaded chain, tensioner, cassette and bottom rail will be color coordinated based on the fabric color in either white, vanilla, gray, bronze or black - The width of the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than the top of the shade (-1 1/4" for cord loop, -1" for cordless, and -1 7/16" for motorized) - This shade does not provide a complete blackout experience since indirect light may be visible around the sides 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 1/2" for standard installation, and 3" for EZ Mount installation. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3 3/4". 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 1/4" 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 1/4" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" to 1 7/16" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric) depending on the lift option. When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product. No deductions will be made to the ordered height.

You will need at least 3 1/8" 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 1" to 1 7/16" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" on each side) depending on the lift option. 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.
