Persilux Blackout Zebra Blinds 16" x 72" 🪟
Description:
This cordless zebra blind combines alternating sheer and solid bands to control light and privacy for living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. It offers high light blockage while keeping airflow, and it fits standard window frames with a 16" W x 72" H size for interior or exterior mounting.
Key Points
The double-layer fabric alternates transparent and opaque stripes to let you adjust between filtered daylight and near-darkness, which helps reduce glare while maintaining some ventilation. The material is 100% polyester and resists dust and static, with manufacturer-stated 90% opacity for significant light reduction and improved privacy. The upgraded cassette holds the fabric more securely, helping the shade hang straighter and last longer. The cordless operation is Best for Kids certified, allowing the shade to stop at any position without cords that can pose a hazard. Note that the fabric width will be about 0.8 inches narrower than the overall blind size, so allow for that when measuring.
Technical Specifications

Usage Recommendations
Measure carefully before installation and decide whether you prefer interior mounting where the blind width equals the window opening, or exterior mounting where you add roughly 4 inches to width and height for better coverage. For example, a 23 inch window opening calls for a 23 inch blind for inside mount or about 27 inches for outside mount. The cordless mechanism operates smoothly with gentle upward or downward pulls and can remain at any desired stop point, which simplifies daily adjustment. 🪟
Consider that, according to the manufacturer, the product reduces most incoming light but is not absolute blackout in every installation because light can enter around the edges depending on mounting. The upgraded cassette improves fabric support over time, though very large or unusually shaped windows may require professional measurement or custom sizes. 🔧
Practical Tips
Clean the fabric with a soft brush or vacuum on low to remove dust without damaging the layers. Avoid applying strong solvents or soaking the fabric since the polyester weave and the cassette components are designed for dry cleaning or spot care only. For extra thermal performance, pair these shades with heavier curtains or a pelmet to minimize light gaps and improve insulation. 😊.
