Classic Alternating Shades

ALTERNATING SHADES
Designed using a dual layer fabric with transparent and non-transparent stripes, our Alternating Shade's design allows for a seamless transition from open to close, producing various levels of privacy and light in your home, depending on your needs.

LIGHT-FILTERING FABRICS
Choose a light-filtering material if you want to let natural light in while also preventing direct views into your room from the outside.

ROOM DARKENING FABRICS
Room darkening fabrics diffuse incoming daylight and darken a room, making them an ideal solution for rooms in which privacy is required.

DESIGN
Our Classic Alternating Shades feature a sleek aluminum cassette headrail. Choose between a round or square design, depending on your home's interior decor.

Q: DO ALTERNATING SHADES BLOCK LIGHT?
A: Alternating Shades are available in many light filtering and room darkening options. Fabric customization allows you to control how much light enters your room, from soft, translucent glows to dim out. However, since alternating shades are made with translucent fabrics, they will not enable complete light blockage.

Q: WILL ALTERNATING SHADES BLOCK MY VIEW?
Alternating Shades can be raised fully to allow an unobstructed view. You can customize your level of privacy and light control by tilting your shade to your desired height.

Q: CAN ALTERNATING SHADES BE INSTALLED IN A KITCHEN OR BATHROOM?
A: Although the fabric is delicate, you may still install them in the bathroom or kitchen, depending on where the window is in the room and what your daily use will be for the shade. Cleaning must be done with care to avoid damaging or ripping the material.
