First, both of these blinds are roller blinds, because both of these blinds have the same rolling up and down through a rolling tube functionality.
But there are some yet quite impressive differences among these roller blinds. Unlike roller blinds, zebra blinds have a panel with much more length, because here the panel is looped around the top rolling tube and bottom bar.
Both roller blinds and zebra blinds are synthetic materials-based. That’s why just like normal roller blinds, zebra blinds are also immensely durable and long-lasting but zebra blinds do have a high fragility rate.
So, roller blinds vs zebra blinds: which one is better?
Which One Is Affordable
Generally, both of these window blinds are on the affordable side, because both of these window blinds are synthetic. But zebra blinds may cost you more because they have superiority in functionality.
And also, zebra blinds have much more panel length than normal roller blinds. but both of these window blinds are right affordable for the users like you.
Enough to have a classy and modern-day appeal.
Which One Is Better For Light Controls
Both, roller blinds and zebra blinds are quite mature for light filtering because there are no such slats in both of them, and, so, no such gaps in these roller blinds.
That’s why if make with the right material, both of these window blinds are much more effective in providing effective blackouts.
But for those dynamic controls, opt for zebra blinds. because they are still roller blinds but with much more superior functionality than normal roller blinds.
Because zebra blinds have a single rolling panel with alternate solid and sheer stripes. So, if there is the alignment of the front layers’ sheer stripes over backend layers’ sheer stripes, then the sheer stripes double up and that’s why there is an increase in their opacity of them, that’s where superior and dynamic light-filtration.
Which One Is Better For Privacy Controls
Surely, zebra blinds are superior here too. And again because of their functionality. Just like in light filtration, zebra blinds are also quite dynamic in privacy controls.
Just like for light-filtration, you can align the solid and sheer stripes to make an overlapping to control privacy.
But things are the opposite here, for privacy, align the solid stripes over the sheer stripes, back and forth, block all the possible passage of light and there be superior privacy for you.
Which One Is More Convenient
Well, both of these window blinds are equal in this regard. Because both of these window blinds are vertically functional and hence didn’t let room for dust and dirt to settle on them.
But mainly their material nature helps them to be immensely convenient. Both are synthetic materials-based. And hence immensely waterproof.
In case, there is a need for intense cleaning then both roller blinds and zebra blinds are very easy to install and so uninstall.
You can uninstall them and then clean them in your bathtub without worrying about water usage.
