Lutron App – RA2 Select Lighting Control System
Dual shades, also known as zebra shades, are a type of window covering that combines the features of both sheer and blackout shades in one. These shades have two layers of fabric that can either block out light completely or let some light through while still keeping your privacy. By pulling a cord or using a remote, you can adjust the shades to control how much light you want in the room.Â
This makes them very flexible for different times of the day and different needs, like when you want to watch a movie without glare or let some sunlight in but not too much. Dual shades look neat and modern, and they come in various colors to match your room’s style. They’re especially good for living rooms, offices, or bedrooms where you might want to change the lighting and privacy settings often.
Benefits of Dual Shades
Control Over Light
You can adjust dual shades to block out all the light for privacy or to darken a room completely. Or, you can set them to let in some light while still keeping things private. This makes them really useful for managing how bright or dark you want your room throughout the day.
Privacy
Dual shades let you enjoy natural light without letting everyone see inside your home. This is especially handy in places where your windows are close to other houses or public areas.
Save on Energy BillsSmart Away
By controlling how much sunlight comes into a room, dual shades can help keep your home cooler in the summer by blocking the sun's heat, and warmer in the winter by letting sunlight in. This can help cut down on your heating and cooling costs.
Modern Look
Dual shades have a clean, modern style that can make any room look better. They come in various colors and styles to match your home’s decor.
Easy to Use
These shades are easy to operate. Whether they use a simple pull cord or a remote control, you can adjust them without much effort.
Doesn't Take Up Much Space
Unlike heavy curtains, dual shades are slim and don’t take up much room. They fit nicely against the window and can be easily hidden when you want a clear view outside.

Dual Shades FAQ’s
Dual shades feature two layers of fabric that move independently of each other. By adjusting the position of the layers, you can achieve varying levels of light filtration and privacy. When the opaque stripes align, they block out light and provide privacy, while aligning the sheer stripes allows diffused light to enter the room.
Cleaning dual shades typically involves lightly dusting or vacuuming them with a brush attachment. Some models may also be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and water. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning to avoid damaging the fabric.
Dual shades are available in a range of sizes to fit different window dimensions, including standard windows, large windows, and even specialty shapes like arches or bay windows. Customization options are often available to ensure a proper fit for your windows.
While dual shades can be installed in humid environments, it's essential to choose a fabric that is moisture-resistant and suitable for such conditions. Some fabrics may be more prone to damage or mildew in humid areas, so consulting with a window treatment specialist can help you select the right material for your needs.
