Custom Motorized Zebra Shades Fort Lauderdale

This Fort Lauderdale project included the installation of 7 custom motorized zebra shades across a residential property. Several of the window and glass-door openings are extra tall, with shades reaching approximately 133 inches in height.

The large openings required custom-sized zebra shades designed specifically for the space. Motorized operation makes the oversized shades easier to raise, lower and adjust while maintaining a clean, modern appearance throughout the main living area.

The project photos document both the professional installation process and the finished result, including multiple tall zebra shades with light neutral fabric and black cassette housings.

Zebra shades (also called dual-layer or banded shades) are built from a single fabric with alternating sheer and solid horizontal bands. Rolling the fabric a few centimetres shifts the bands in or out of alignment, so the same shade moves from an open view-through position to a closed privacy position without being raised or lowered.

That makes them a practical choice where daylight changes through the day: the sheer bands soften glare while keeping the window readable, and the solid bands close the opening when privacy matters more than the view.
