Roller shades are made from a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down, offering clean, minimal aesthetics and excellent light control. Zebra shades (also called vision or dual-layer shades) use alternating sheer and solid fabric bands that can be adjusted to vary light and privacy levels — giving you more flexibility throughout the day.
