What are Dual Roller Shades?

Dual roller shades, also referred to as double roll-up shades, are two blinds together, installed in the same window frame, with one positioned in front of the other.

In other words, they consist of two fabrics of the same type or of different types, one for the front shade and the other for the back or rear shade.

Two Choices to Combine Fabrics for a Double Roller Shade

Same Type Fabrics

Create both layers with the same type of fabric, such as cellular, to double the functional potential of your window treatment.

Different Fabric Types

For the sake of versatile functionality, you can combine two different kinds of fabrics, such as blackout and a sheer.

Day & Night Dual Shades are the best example of this type.

You can use a motorized control to independently operate (raise or lower) each of these blinds to let in lots of glare-free natural light or block out 100% of it to create total darkness.

When sheer fabric is lowered (closed), it will fill your room with soft, diffused glow. And when blackout fabric is lowered, it will create a night-like environment.

Alternating Sheer and Opaque Fabric Bands

Another type is zebra roller shades with alternating bands, slats, or vanes of sheer and opaque or solid fabrics attached to a roller system. They are a popular alternative to regular horizontal (like mini blinds) or vertical blinds, and heavy fabric curtains.

Key Considerations

• Mount Style: Mount your new, fresh dual roller shades inside, outside, or to the exterior.
• Sizing: Order your exact window size with true width, height (e.g. 115 x 120), and depth (for an inside mount) of your home’s window. For external mounting, purchase 2” to 4” larger fabric to cover the window frame for better insulation, etc.
• Color: Consider colors like white, gray, brown, black, daylight, beige, ivory, dove gray, etc.
• Fabric: Choose from 100% breathable polyester, linen, cotton, and other synthetic or natural fabrics.
• Liner: Add blackout liners and light blockers to the opaque panel of dual shades for maximum visibility and privacy control.
• Valance/Cornice: Add a valance or cornice, or both for greater visual appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dual roller shades good?

Dual (or double) roller shades are the best choice for simplified light, privacy, and insulation control, with a quick, easy pull (with a loop) or a tap on your screen to alternate the sheer and opaque fabrics, or lower both types for privacy. Plus they provide better sun shading and more control on the amount of light that floods your room.

What is the difference between roller blinds and double roller blinds?

While a roller blind or a single roller blind consists of a one fabric panel with limited light control and decor options, double roller blinds have more diverse functionalities and visual elements.

Do double roller blinds work?

The answer is yes! If you raise/close the blackout panel and lower the solar or light filtering panel, your double roller blinds will allow glare-free filtered light along with privacy and view of the outdoors. With blackout fabric lowered, they will block out 100% light and prying eyes!

What are the disadvantages of double roller blinds?

Two of the most noticeable disadvantages of double roller blinds are: (1) nearly doubled cost and (2) not all manufacturers offer the best finish with dual system blinds. Their third drawback is that dual fabrics make them a bit heavier, requiring drilling to be hung.
