Custom Zebra Blinds Markham Village – Free Installation

Not much on their own. A zebra rolls on a single tube with air moving freely around the edges, so it slows a draft rather than stopping one. You notice the difference standing beside the glass on a cold evening, and that is about it. If cold windows are the real problem, a cellular shade traps an air pocket at the pane and does far more, or you pair the two across different rooms.

Yes. A cordless zebra lifts by hand on a spring mechanism, and a battery motor is the other route when a window is awkward to reach. Cordless has a practical size limit, since the spring has to hold the weight of the tube and both bands, and a very wide blind gets heavy in the hand. We work that out at the measure and say plainly when a chain is the better call.

Work from the value of the paint rather than its colour. A band a shade or two off the trim tone sits quietly, where a hard contrast draws the eye to the window frame and away from the room. On warm old white trim, bone and soft greige work better than a bright white, which can look blue beside aged paint. We leave samples at the house so you see them in your own light across a day.

No, it changes the length and sometimes the mount. We stop the bottom bar above the radiator rather than running fabric down in front of it, so the warm air still rises across the glass instead of getting held behind a fabric pocket. A short drop looks wrong on paper and reads as deliberate once it is hung. Where the radiator sits proud of the wall, an outside mount clear of both keeps the lines cleaner.
