As discussed in previous posts, motorized window coverings are on the rise (no pun intended). Sales of motorized window treatments have spiked, as prices on motors have come down, and as customers have become more and more technologically inclined.

Category: Transitional Shades
The custom window coverings industry is buzzing about transitional – or zebra – shades. They’re one of the hottest products on the market currently, but what the heck are they? As the name would imply, a zebra shade is a roller shade made of the finest hand-woven zebra hair.
Ok…not really!
A zebra shade is in many ways a hybrid of a venetian blind and a roller shade. A transitional/zebra shade features much of the same componentry as a roller shade, and it functions much in the same way that a roller shade does. From a purely functional standpoint, a transitional shade is very, very similar to a roller shade.
