Motorized Zebra Blackout Shades Delray Beach

This residential project in Delray Beach included the installation of 2 custom motorized zebra blackout shades in a house. One shade covers the bedroom window and the other covers the home office window, giving each room adjustable daylight control with a full blackout layer behind it.

The bedroom shade is mounted on the wall above the window, while the home office shade sits inside the window recess. Both shades run on motors, so each room can be adjusted without reaching the fabric.

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.
