Material 2 zebra shades for windows around your home

Material 2 puts a banded pattern across your window. It is a room-darkening zebra shade for rooms where you want privacy and control over the bands. We make it to your measurements in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Your price depends on the window size, and you can ask us for material 2 by its workshop number.

How will material 2 work in my rooms?

The fabric alternates sheer and solid bands on one roller. Line the bands up for privacy, or offset them for filtered light. For a bedroom, consider how you will reach the control each day. In a front room, choose the control side that works around your furniture. An awkward-to-reach stairwell window is worth thinking through before you choose how to operate it.

How a zebra shade works. Aligning the solid bands blocks the light for privacy; offsetting the bands lines up the sheers for filtered daylight; rolling the shade up leaves the glass clear. Aligned Solid meets solid. Closed for privacy. Offset Sheers line up. Daylight in, view kept. Rolled up Clear glass. Nothing in the way.

The chain-operated version has a continuous loop chain, sold shrouded and anchored to the wall with a tension device. You choose which side the chain hangs on. We set the drop length. Motorizing adds $115.00, and a motorized shade has no chain. One remote costs $50.00 and runs up to 15 shades.

What does a material 2 zebra shade cost?

For a small bedroom window, 24 by 48 inches is $150.20. A tall window beside the door measures 30 by 72 inches in this example and costs $237.00. At 36 by 84 inches, a tall stairwell window comes to $311.40. The front-window example is 60 by 60 inches at $361.00. These are chain-operated zebra shades, before tax, with shipping in Canada included. All four together come to $1,059.60.
