Daylight without full exposure
Align the sheer sections to bring in more natural light while the blind still covers the window.
Day & Night Blinds
Made-to-Measure Day Night Blinds for Dublin, Kildare & Meath
Layered striped fabrics let you adjust daylight and privacy without making the window feel heavy.
Day and night blinds — often described as zebra or vision-style blinds — combine alternating sheer and denser fabric bands. By moving the layers against each other, you can soften glare, retain a view or create greater privacy with one neat blind.
We measure, specify and install made-to-measure blinds for homes and businesses across Dublin, Kildare and Meath, with selected work elsewhere in Ireland.
Flexible Light Control
A practical blind for rooms used throughout the day
The appeal is the ability to fine-tune light without repeatedly raising the blind completely. The striped fabric can be adjusted to suit changing daylight, screen glare and privacy needs.
More privacy when needed
Overlap the denser bands to reduce the view through the fabric and give the room a more private feel.
Made to suit the window
Fabric colour, stripe scale and hardware can be selected to work with the proportions and finish of the room.
How Day Night Blinds Work
Two fabric layers, several useful positions
The fabric loops around the roller so two striped layers sit in front of each other. Small movements change how much the transparent and opaque bands overlap.
Filtered Daylight
Open the stripes for a lighter room
When the sheer bands line up, more daylight passes through and the room keeps a softer connection to the view outside.
Privacy Position
Overlap the bands when you want more screening
Moving the fabric slightly closes the transparent gaps, giving a more private and visually settled finish without changing to a different blind.
Recent Installations
Day night blinds in real Irish homes
Different colours and room settings can make the same blind style feel very different. These examples show light neutrals, darker finishes and varied window proportions.
Warm neutral dining room
A soft striped fabric gives privacy while keeping the room visually light.
Compact dining area
A clean headrail and restrained fabric colour sit comfortably with the room rather than dominating it.
Dark fabric on a wide window
A stronger contrast works well when the window needs to become a more deliberate design feature.
Grey fabric in a window recess
Precise measuring keeps the blind aligned neatly within the opening.
Bright living room finish
White bands keep a large window feeling open while still giving useful control over view and glare.
Darker finish for a cosy room
Deeper tones can add contrast and work particularly well with darker furniture and accessories.
Balanced, Not Overdone
Keep the blind in proportion to the room
Day and night blinds already have a strong horizontal pattern, so the best result usually comes from keeping the rest of the specification calm: a suitable fabric tone, a tidy headrail and proportions that suit the window.
For wide glazing we also consider how the stripes read across the room, where the blind sits inside or outside the recess and how the fabric looks in both bright and evening light.
Local Measuring & Installation
Day night blinds across Dublin, Kildare & Meath
We supply and install made-to-measure blinds for living rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces, home offices and other residential interiors. Every project starts with the actual window dimensions, recess depth, handle positions and how the room is used.
That site-specific approach matters because a blind that looks right in a sample book still needs to sit correctly on the finished window.
Frequently Asked Questions
Day night blinds: common questions
We can confirm fabric, fitting position and suitability after measuring the actual windows.
How do day and night blinds control light?
They use two layers of alternating sheer and opaque fabric bands. Moving the layers changes whether the transparent sections line up or are covered by the denser bands.
Can I still see outside through them?
When the sheer sections are aligned, you can retain a filtered view depending on the fabric and lighting conditions. At night, indoor lighting can reduce privacy, so the bands are normally overlapped when greater screening is needed.
Are they suitable for wide windows?
They can be, but the finished result depends on the width, drop, fabric and fitting position. We measure the opening and confirm the practical configuration before manufacture.
Do you install in Dublin, Kildare and Meath?
Yes. Those are our main service areas, with selected projects completed elsewhere in Ireland.
