Florence & Venice — Premium Zebra Range — Made to Measure in South Africa
Custom Blinds zebra blinds, also known as day-night blinds or vision blinds, are made-to-order window coverings featuring alternating horizontal stripes of sheer and opaque fabric on a single roller mechanism. Each blind is custom manufactured in South Africa to your exact window measurements, with a typical production time of 7 to 10 working days and free nationwide delivery. Custom Blinds sources roller blind components from Somfy, Hunter Douglas, and Coulisse.
Who Zebra Blinds Are For
Zebra blinds suit homeowners who want modern style with practical light control that adjusts throughout the day. They are ideal for living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, and open-plan spaces where you want to shift between an open view and screened privacy without raising or lowering the blind. They work particularly well in contemporary interiors where the distinctive striped aesthetic adds visual interest. They are not designed for bedrooms that require complete darkness — for that, Custom Blinds recommends blockout roller blinds or duo roller blinds.
How They Work
A zebra blind uses a single continuous fabric with alternating bands of sheer and opaque material. The fabric loops around the roller and creates two overlapping layers at the window. When you shift the blind using the chain control, the opaque bands align with the sheer bands — switching between see-through filtered light and screened privacy. The transition is smooth and immediate, with no need to raise or lower the blind. The effect is visually striking and gives you real-time control over how much light enters the room.

Comparing Zebra Blinds to Other Roller Blinds
Custom Blinds offers several roller-based options. Zebra blinds provide the most visually distinctive light control with their alternating stripe design — ideal for modern living spaces. Duo roller blinds combine a separate sheer and blockout roller for day-to-night flexibility with complete darkness capability. Blockout roller blinds provide maximum light blocking for bedrooms. Sheer roller blinds offer simple light filtering. Choose zebra blinds when adjustable light control and modern aesthetics are the priorities.
Installation
Standard installation uses two wall or ceiling brackets and takes approximately 15 minutes per window with a drill and spirit level. A step-by-step measuring guide is available at shop.customblinds.co.za to ensure accurate ordering. Garden Route customers in Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay, and Wilderness can book professional installation with Duncan Kane, the company founder.
