Banded Shades In Lansing
Banded (Zebra) Shades in Lansing, KS
Banded Shades, also called zebra shades or dual shades, take a Lansing window from an open view to filtered light to full privacy with a few inches of travel. A kitchen in Rock Creek Ridge sees bright morning light and a hot afternoon on the same glass, and our Solar Shield Blinds Banded Shades handle both without coming down.
Where It Fits In Lansing
Where Banded Shades and zebra shades fit in Lansing
Zebra shades suit the cleaner lines of the newer Lansing and Basehor homes, where the windows are big and the light moves across the room all day.
- Kitchens and breakfast nooksA breakfast nook in a newer Rock Creek house sits under a wide window. Set the bands to filtered light in the morning and to privacy once the lights go on.
- Home officesA spare bedroom turned office needs the glare off a monitor at certain hours. Light dimming fabric handles that and opens back to a view between calls.
- Replacing tired builder blindsA Banded Shade rolls up into a 3 inch cassette at the top. Owners in Southern Hills swapping out 1990s blinds notice how much cleaner the window looks.
- Bedrooms, layered with blackoutBanded Shades are a daytime product. In a primary bedroom we add a blackout shade behind so the early sun stays out.
Worth Knowing
How the bands line up, and where they stop short
A Banded Shade is a single loop of fabric with alternating sheer and solid stripes running across it, front and back. Lower or raise it a few inches and the stripes slide past each other: line up the solids and the window closes, line up the sheers and you get a filtered view. The settings in between give you as much privacy as you want at that hour. In a Lansing kitchen or office where the sun moves around the house, that kind of control is the whole point.
Fabrics come in light filtering, which keeps a room bright with the bands closed, and light dimming, which takes it darker. We carry over 100 fabrics, and the privacy band runs from 3 to 5 inches, smaller for a standard window and larger for a wide one. Cordless Lift, PowerWand and Motorized all keep the chain off the wall. On a tall window in a Rock Creek great room or a new build in Basehor, a motor lets a saved scene put the bands in the same spot every time.
Where the solid bands meet there's a seam, so a closed Banded Shade still lets a little light through, and light dimming fabric won't make a bedroom fully dark. For a primary bedroom we put a blackout shade behind it, and both show up on your quote. Your Design Specialist brings samples, measures every window and writes the price on the spot, good for 180 days. Interior shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install.
