Banded shades, sometimes called zebra shades, are quickly becoming a favorite in the hospitality industry for their sleek design and versatile light control. By alternating solid and sheer fabric bands, these shades allow hotels to create a contemporary look while offering guests multiple levels of privacy and brightness. At The Blinds Side, we supply and install custom banded shades for top brands including Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Westin, and IHG, ensuring style, function, and durability in every project.
Why Hotels Are Choosing Banded Shades
Banded shades combine the softness of fabric with the functionality of blinds, making them ideal for a variety of hotel applications.
