Custom Zebra Blinds Downtown Whitby – Free Installation

They hold when the screws reach wood. Plaster and lath on its own crumbles under a bracket, so we look for the casing or the header above the opening and fix into that. Where nothing solid sits close enough, toggle anchors rated well past the weight of the blind do the job. A zebra blind is light. The failures we see come from short screws in soft plaster, not from weight.

Yes, with a couple of conditions. Run the fan and leave the shade up while the room dries, because fabric held closed against a wet window will hold that damp. Polyester band fabrics handle steam without shrinking. What we avoid in a bathroom is any fabric with a paper-like backing. If the window sits directly over a tub, an outside mount keeps the bottom bar clear of splash.

The blind has to clear it, and that decides the mount. An inside-mounted zebra hangs in the same space the unit sits in, so the shade either stops above it or gets rolled up for the season. On those windows we usually mount outside on the casing and cut the drop to finish at the top of the unit, which reads as deliberate rather than as a blind stuck halfway. Tell us which window it goes in before the order leaves.

They can move and tap the frame on a breezy night. A cassette with side channels holds the fabric tighter, and hold-down brackets at the sill stop the bottom bar swinging. On a sash window we often set the blind outside the opening so the fabric hangs clear of it. Nothing removes the movement completely while air is running through the room.
