What it is?
Stylish sun shades of the new generation managed to gain the trust and love of consumers around the world. Blinds "day-night" is a design in which two textile fabrics are interconnected by a roller. More often it is fabric blinds with alternating stripes of dense and more transparent texture. When folding or lowering the structure, the strips are shifted relative to each other.
Manufacturers of blinds "zebra" took care of the quality of manufactured products. To connect the strips in fabric products, the method of seamless thermal technology is used. A special treatment with Teflon impregnation gives the blinds dust-repellent and antistatic properties. Thanks to the unique design, day-night blinds can control the intensity of light entering the room. In some products designed to protect against excess light, the degree of density of strips of fabric reaches up to 100%.
Varieties
There are blinds "day-night" open and closed design. Open type curtains are suitable for both home interior and work space. The fabric in the design is wound on an uncovered shaft, not fixed on the sides. As a result, the curtain hangs freely. Horizontal stripes visually enlarge the windows and the room seems more spacious.
The classic version of the blinds is easy to care for and affordable. To prevent sagging fabric on the sides of the product is equipped with special boxes where the fabric is hidden. The mechanism of the closed type has a cassette and mini-cassette type design. You can choose a box from the same material and texture of the manufacture of the window frame.

In this process, the transparent bands decrease or increase in quantity, changing the intensity of lighting in the room. Double curtains can be with automatic or manual control system.
