Zebra & sheer shades · Columbus & Central Ohio
Zebra & Sheer Shades in Columbus, OH
Layered shades that glide between filtered daylight and restful privacy without ever losing the view. Softer than blinds, more adjustable than a single panel of fabric.
Choose zebra shades for a crisp, modern banded look, or Norman® PerfectSheer™ for fabric vanes floating between two sheers. The owner measures every window and installs every shade.
Two ways to layer light
Zebra or PerfectSheer
Zebra shades
A continuous loop of fabric with alternating sheer and solid bands. Line the sheer bands up for filtered daylight and a view, or offset them so the solid bands close for privacy. Clean, modern, and easy to live with.
Norman® PerfectSheer™
Soft fabric vanes suspended between sheer layers. Tilt the vanes to gently diffuse natural light or increase privacy through the day, in light filtering or room darkening fabrics. Unlike sheer shades that rely on adhesives, PerfectSheer™ is made with double-layer fabric seams for durability.

Common questions
Zebra and sheer shade questions we get asked
What is the difference between zebra shades and sheer shades?
Zebra shades use one loop of fabric with alternating sheer and solid bands that slide past each other. Sheer shades like Norman PerfectSheer™ have soft fabric vanes suspended between sheer layers that tilt open and closed.
Do zebra and sheer shades give privacy?
Yes. Closing the bands on a zebra shade, or closing the vanes on a PerfectSheer™ shade, gives daytime privacy. For bedrooms, PerfectSheer™ is available in room darkening fabrics.
Can sheer shades be motorized?
Yes. PerfectSheer™ is available with Norman Smart Motorization for app, remote, and voice control, or AutoWand for simple one-touch operation.
How much do zebra and sheer shades cost?
Price depends on window size, style, fabric, valance, and lift or motorization. Every window is measured in person and the visit ends with a written, firm quote.
