Day-night roller blinds — also called zebra blinds or vision blinds — use alternating sheer and opaque horizontal bands on a single roller. Adjusting the blind position aligns the bands to produce any combination from fully sheer to fully blackout. For Bali villas where guests want flexibility — daytime privacy with light, evening blackout — a single day-night blind handles both requirements without installing two separate systems. It's the most versatile single product in the roller blind range.
Day-Night Blind Details
How They Work
Two fabric layers — sheer and opaque in alternating horizontal bands — roll on a single tube. Moving the blind adjusts which bands align: sheer-to-sheer for maximum light, opaque-to-opaque for blackout, any position between for graduated diffusion. A single control point manages full light control range.
Manual or Motorised
Available with standard chain mechanism or motorisation. Motorised day-night blinds allow precise position adjustment from remote or app — particularly useful where exact band alignment for a specific light quality is desired. The position feedback in some motor models allows programming specific "sheer" and "blackout" preset positions.
Fabric Options
Available in sheer/opaque combinations in various colours — light neutrals for maximum light transmission in the sheer bands, darker combinations for privacy-first applications. We bring samples to the free measurement visit for selection in your space and natural lighting conditions.
Applications
Best suited for living areas, dining rooms and home offices where flexible light control through the day is the priority. For bedrooms requiring guaranteed complete blackout for sleeping, side-channel blackout systems provide better performance. Day-night is most valuable in rooms where occupants transition between daytime and evening use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are day-night blinds available in motorised versions?
Yes — day-night blinds are available with RF remote, WiFi app and smart home compatible motors. Motorised day-night blinds allow precise position adjustment from a remote or app, including programming specific sheer and blackout preset positions that can be recalled with a single button press.
Do day-night blinds provide complete blackout?
When the opaque bands are fully aligned, day-night blinds provide near-total light block across the fabric panel — comparable to a standard blackout fabric. Side channels are available for day-night systems for applications requiring the same complete edge blackout as a dedicated blackout system with channels.
