What is a zebra curtain? Why is it suitable for sliding doors?
Zebra blinds for sliding doors, also called "day and night curtain" or "double-layer gauze curtain", is a kind of double-layer roller shutter which combines light-transmitting yarn and shading cloth strip. When the two layers of fabrics slide alternately, they can freely adjust the "brightness" and "darkness" to form a visual effect like zebra stripes.
For the floor-to-ceiling sliding door, the biggest advantage of zebra curtain is that it can flexibly control the light and privacy without making the space appear heavy.
The extension and unity of the sense of space
The floor-to-ceiling sliding door is usually connected to the balcony, courtyard or terrace, which is the visual focus of indoor and outdoor intersection. Traditional curtains are easy to "cut off" the space visually, while zebra curtains are more malleable visually because of their light materials and simple colors, and will not destroy the overall sense of space flow.
Especially now, many families are pursuing minimalist and modern decoration styles, and wooden floor+white wall+French window is standard. At this time, if a thick curtain is hung, it is really easy to appear "procrastination" or disharmony. Zebra curtain is like a capable and quiet "role", which silently completes the tasks of shading and decoration, but it will not "usurp the host's role".
Convenient operation, suitable for frequent daily use
The sliding door itself is a high-frequency use area. Open the curtain in the morning and close the curtain at night to protect privacy. It may be operated several times a day. Zebra curtains support both manual and electric control modes, and are very friendly to family members of different ages.
Especially now, many zebra curtain brands have introduced intelligent control systems, which can be connected to a remote control or a mobile APP to easily realize timed opening and closing or voice control, which is very practical for young families with strong sense of technology.
Many people will have a question: "Zebra curtain is a roller shutter, so is it suitable for such a large-scale floor-to-ceiling sliding door?" The answer is: yes!
At present, the zebra curtain on the market supports multi-size customization, which can be up to 3 meters or even wider, and supports the installation mode of "single opening" or "split opening". You can choose the whole curtain to cover the whole door, or you can make a double-fan design according to the partition of the sliding door to make the opening and closing more flexible.
The installation location is also particular: if there is enough space above your door, you can install it above the door frame to make it look taller visually; If the door frame space is limited, it can also be attached to the wall for exterior decoration or embedded design, which is flush with the overall wall, neat and generous.
