If you can’t decide between the airy feel of a sheer curtain and the privacy of a roller blind, Duplex Blinds (also known as Zebra or Day-and-Night blinds) are the perfect innovation for your home. Featuring a unique dual-layer design with alternating stripes of transparent sheer and solid fabric, these blinds allow you to transition from bright daylight to total privacy in seconds.

At 800Curtains, we offer a premium range of Duplex Blinds that are as functional as they are visually striking, making them a favorite for modern Dubai apartments and stylish villas.

Why Choose Duplex (Zebra) Blinds?

• Versatile Light Control: By overlapping the solid stripes, you can block out the sun; by aligning the sheer stripes, you allow soft, filtered light to fill the room.

• Modern Aesthetic: The bold, horizontal stripes create a contemporary look that acts as a piece of "window art," adding a sophisticated edge to your decor.

• Day-to-Night Privacy: Unlike standard rollers, you can enjoy a view of the outdoors while still obscuring the view from the outside into your home.

• Compact & Lightweight: They take up very little space in the window recess, making them ideal for minimalist interiors.

Our Duplex Blind Collections

We offer various fabric combinations to suit the needs of every room:

• Blackout Duplex Blinds: Feature thick, light-blocking solid stripes—perfect for bedrooms where you want to sleep in but also want the option for filtered light during the day.

• Textured & Metallic Finishes: Add a touch of luxury with fabrics that feature linen textures or subtle shimmers that catch the Dubai sun beautifully.

• Soft Pastels & Earthy Tones: From crisp whites to warm beiges and greys, our palette is designed to match any modern UAE interior.

3. High-Performance Fabrics: Our materials are dust-resistant and durable, ensuring they stay looking brand new even in the desert climate.

Professional Service by 800Curtains

Achieving the "Zebra" effect requires precise installation so the stripes align perfectly across multiple windows. Our process includes:

• Free On-Site Consultation: We bring our sample books to you, so you can test how different stripe widths look in your space.

• Laser-Guided Measurement: We measure your windows to the millimeter to ensure the blinds fit snugly with no side-light leakage.

• Expert Installation: Our team ensures the dual-layer mechanism operates smoothly and sits level.

Design Tip: Duplex blinds look incredible in home offices and kitchens. They provide a "clean" look that doesn't gather grease or dust as easily as traditional curtains.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Duplex Blinds work? They consist of two layers of fabric that roll past each other. When the solid stripes overlap, the blind is closed. When they are staggered, the sheer sections let in light.

Are Zebra Blinds easy to clean? Yes! They are made from 100% polyester, which is naturally dust-repellent. A light dusting or a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all they need.

Can I get these for large windows? Absolutely. While they are great for small windows, we can custom-build wide Duplex systems that are reinforced to stay stable on large glass surfaces.
