Interlude Zebra Shades are roller shades built from alternating bands of sheer and solid fabric, so one shade moves from filtered daylight to full privacy without being raised. Sun Glow builds them to size in Toronto with a chain clutch, the cordless Zero Gravity spring or motorization, specified by the dealer taking the order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a zebra shade?
A zebra shade is a roller shade made from alternating horizontal bands of sheer and solid fabric. Aligning the sheer bands lets filtered daylight through; offsetting them brings the solid bands together for privacy. Sun Glow manufactures zebra shades under the Interlude name for residential and commercial windows.
Can zebra shades be motorized?
Yes. Interlude Zebra Shades are compatible with a range of motorization and automation systems, from residential smart home setups to commercial building integration. They are also available with a manual chain clutch or the cordless Zero Gravity spring system. Your Sun Glow dealer specifies the control type when the shade is ordered.
Are zebra shades child-safe?
Cord-free options are available. All chain-operated Sun Glow shades include the Safety Shield child safety device, and the Zero Gravity spring system operates with no cord or chain at all. The aluminum Interlude Bottom Bar 2.0 is also designed to be child-safe.
How much light do zebra shades block?
It depends on the fabric. Zebra shades shift between filtered daylight and privacy by aligning or offsetting the sheer and solid bands. How much light the solid bands stop is set by the Interlude fabric selected. Sun Glow publishes an Interlude fabric specification chart with the data for each option.
Where can I buy Sun Glow zebra shades?
Through an authorized Sun Glow dealer. Sun Glow manufactures custom shades in Toronto and sells through a dealer network rather than direct to consumers. Dealers handle measuring, ordering, installation and after-sales service. Use the Find a Dealer form on mysunglow.com to be connected with a dealer in your area.
Can two zebra shades share one headrail?
Yes. The Multi-in-One option combines multiple Interlude shades under a single headrail, giving one continuous line across a wide opening while each shade still controls light and privacy separately. Your dealer confirms the maximum width and number of shades per headrail when quoting.
