Banded Shades In Raymore
Banded (Zebra) Shades in Raymore, MO
Banded Shades, also known as zebra shades or dual shades, give a Raymore great room filtered light, privacy and an open view from one shade. The open plan great room in a newer Raymore home is bright at breakfast and glaring by supper through the same wall of windows, and our Solar Shield Blinds Banded Shades move from sheer to private without going up.
Where It Fits In Raymore
Where Banded Shades and zebra shades fit in Raymore
Newer homes with square trim, kitchens open to the great room, and a budget that wants one shade to do several jobs all point to Banded Shades.
- Open plan great roomsOne wall of windows lights the kitchen, the table and the couch. Banded Shades give the whole wall a filtered setting for the day and a closed setting for the glare at supper.
- Square, simple trimThe clean casings on a new build off MO 58 suit the straight lines and small cassette of a zebra shade better than a soft fabric treatment.
- Home offices on a close lotA home office in the front room sees every car and the neighbor across the street. Set the bands to sheer for light and closed for a video call.
- Covering a new house on a budgetA Banded Shade does the job of a blind and a sheer in one product, which makes sense for a family covering a new house in stages.
Worth Knowing
Three settings in one shade, and where to add a second layer
A Banded Shade is a single roll with alternating solid and sheer stripes in two layers. Line up the sheers and the room gets filtered daylight with the yard still in view. Move the bands a little and the solids overlap the sheers for privacy. Raise it fully and it rolls up into a 3 inch cassette at the top. In a Raymore great room with a wall of west windows and no big trees, the middle setting is the one you'll use at five o'clock, when the sun is low and the family is in the kitchen.
Raymore's homes were built from the 1990s to today, and most share the same square trim and plain openings, which suit the crisp look of a Banded Shade. A warm gray, a linen or a white that matches the cabinets makes the shade look like it came with the house. We have over 100 fabrics in light filtering and light dimming, and a smaller band suits most standard windows while a larger band fits a big window. Cordless Lift keeps the shade free of any chain, and a motor makes sense on the wide great room windows.
Closed, the solid bands meet at a seam rather than a seal, so a little light comes through, and at night with lamps on the sheer stripes show shapes from outside. For a bedroom on the south side we layer a blackout shade behind it or recommend a Honeycomb Shade instead. The consultation is free, every window is measured, and your quote is itemized on the spot and held for 180 days. Banded Shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and our own full time Install Techs put them up.

Straight Answers
Banded Shades questions from Raymore homeowners
Yes, they're one of the best. A Banded Shade covers the two jobs a builder blind and a sheer curtain were doing, in one clean product that suits the square trim in the newer neighborhoods. The quote is itemized, so you can start with the great room and add bedrooms later.
Yes, that's the setting they're made for. Close the solid bands over the sheers and the low western sun becomes a soft glow, with the yard still visible when you set them part way. On a wide great room window we recommend a motor.
Yes, with a blackout shade behind them for sleep, or you can choose a room darkening Honeycomb Shade instead. Banded Shades come in light filtering and light dimming fabrics, and on a south facing bedroom the bands alone won't make the room dark in the morning.
Yes. Cordless Lift, PowerWand and Motorized are all child safe with no accessible cord, and Cordless Lift is what we recommend for a house with kids. A motorized shade on the great room wall uses a rechargeable motor that needs no wiring.
Yes. Shades on windows next to each other have to be ordered together so the solid and sheer bands line up from one to the next. Your Design Specialist measures and orders the whole run of windows as one job.
Yes. Every Banded Shade carries our Carefree Guarantee, with Lifetime Product coverage against defects in materials and workmanship and five years of free service. The warranty is transferable, so it stays with the house if you sell.
