Day & Night Blinds

Day & Night roller blinds (Sometimes called Zebra Blinds due to their stripes) are a superb way to shade a room throughout the whole day, as they allow you to let light enter a room during the day time and can then block out external light during the night time, which is where they get the name “Day & Night” Blinds. These blinds offer a great deal of utility, as they can be moved up and down to open/close the blind, as well as being able to rotate the striped fabric around, aligning the stripes to let light into a room or block it completely

What are Day & Night blinds?

A Day & Night blind looks a lot like a roller a roller blind to the uninitiated, but there are some key differences between a standard roller blind and a Day & Night blind: firstly on a roller blind, the fabric hangs from the barrel, whereas on Day & Night Blinds the fabric hangs down and loops back up to the top of the blind; secondly, roller blind fabric is usually a solid cut of fabric, but a Day & Night Blind’s fabric is made with alternating strips of opaque and transparent material, creating their unique stripey look.
So essentially, a Day & Night Blind is made like an old cassette tape, with an alternating fabric. This means that when the metal chain is pulled, the blind not only raises or lowers, but the fabric moves. As a result, you are able to line up the alternating strips of colours to block out the light or let in more light. Alternatively, this blind can be totally rolled up, like a roller blind, keeping it tucked out of the way until you need it.

Headbox or no headbox?

On our made to measure Day & Night Blinds we allow you to choose whether or not you want a headbox to cover the blind’s hardware and barrel, hiding it from view. If you choose to have a headbox on your new Day & Night Blind, you’ll notice that it is covered in a colour matched fabric (which is also used to wrap the bottom bar of the blind too). Having a headbox will cover up the moving parts of the blind and keep things looking tidy. However a headbox is not necessary for a Day & Night Blind and if you prefer the more industrial look of the exposed barrel, brackets and chain, you can order yours without one.
