What Are Zebra Blinds?
A zebra blind is a roller blind with two layers of fabric printed in alternating sheer and solid stripes. As you move the blind, the stripes line up sheer-on-sheer to let light and the view through, or sheer-on-solid to close the gaps for privacy and glare control. You get the flexibility of a sheer and a solid blind in one unit, which is why they are also sold as “day-night”, “dual” or “vision” blinds.
Why Zebra Blinds Work in Cape Town
Cape Town homes often want to keep a view of the mountain, sea or garden without giving up privacy or fighting the afternoon glare. Zebra blinds solve exactly that: crack them to a sheer setting to soften harsh light while keeping the outlook, then close them fully in the evening. They give a clean, modern look on their own or layered under curtains.
Fabric & Colour Options
- Light-filtering weaves for a soft daytime glow with the stripes aligned open.
- Dim-out fabrics for stronger privacy and glare control when closed — for true bedroom darkness, see blockout blinds.
- Neutral and textured palettes to match modern Cape Town interiors.
Zebra blinds are a specialised roller blind and can be motorised with a battery or solar motor for cordless, remote or app control — handy for large or hard-to-reach windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between zebra blinds and roller blinds?
A zebra blind is a type of roller blind, but it uses two layers of striped fabric instead of one solid fabric. Sliding the layers in and out of alignment lets you fade smoothly between an open view and full privacy, which a standard roller blind cannot do.
Do zebra blinds block out light completely?
Zebra blinds are excellent for privacy and glare control, but even a dim-out zebra fabric lets a little light through the sheer bands. For a fully dark bedroom or nursery we recommend a blockout roller blind, optionally with side channels.
Can zebra blinds be motorised?
Yes. Zebra blinds can be fitted with a battery, solar or wired motor for cordless, remote or app control, which is ideal for large windows and child-safe installations.
How much do zebra blinds cost in Cape Town?
As a guide, supplied and installed zebra blinds are about R650 to R1,300 per square metre, slightly more than a plain roller blind. We quote on your exact window sizes after a free measure.
