Banded Shades
Alta Dual Shades
Alternating sheer and opaque bands align for an open view or shift for privacy and shade.
Alta Dual Shades, often called banded or zebra shades, put light control at your fingertips with a clever layered design. Alternating sheer and opaque fabric bands slide to align, either lining up for view-through or offsetting to bring privacy and room-darkening. That flexibility makes them a smart pick for Sonoma County rooms that shift from morning brightness to evening privacy.

Alta Dual Shades for Sonoma County Homes
Alta Dual Shades solve a problem a lot of Sonoma County homeowners know well: wanting an open view during the day and real privacy at night from the same window. The shade is built from alternating sheer and opaque horizontal bands on a single continuous fabric loop. Slide the bands so the sheers line up and you get a soft, screened view to the outside. Shift them so the opaque bands overlap and the same window turns private and shaded, with room-darkening options for the times you want more.
That in-between adjustability is what makes these shades so livable, letting you land on the exact balance of light and privacy for the moment. With 109 colors to choose from, they slide easily into modern and transitional Santa Rosa, Windsor, and Petaluma interiors. Our team helps you select fabric and opacity during a free in-home consultation, then we custom-measure and professionally install so the bands track true. Prefer effortless control? Cordless operation keeps things clean, and BLISS Automation lets you set the shades to open and close on a schedule.
