Day and night blinds
Made-to-measure day and night blinds - adjust the light without raising the blind
More daylight in the morning, protection from the sun in the afternoon and greater privacy in the evening. Day and night blinds allow you to control the amount of light entering the room by adjusting alternating fabric stripes. You do not need to raise the entire blind every time you want to brighten the room. At Estika, you can choose the width, height and fabric colour to suit your window, with no-drill installation.
How do day and night blinds work?
A day and night blind, also known as a zebra blind, consists of fabric arranged in two parallel layers. Each layer features alternating transparent stripes and stripes made from more densely woven fabric. By moving the fabric, you change the position of the stripes in relation to each other and regulate the amount of light entering the room.
When the transparent stripes overlap, more daylight enters the interior. When the densely woven stripes overlap the transparent sections, the blind provides greater shade and privacy. This allows you to adjust the light without fully raising the blind and exposing the entire window.
Do day and night blinds darken a room?
The day and night blinds in this category are designed to regulate light and provide partial shading. They are not blackout blinds. Even when the stripes are set in the closed position, some light may still pass through the fabric and around the edges of the blind. The term "day and night" refers to the way the stripes are adjusted, not to complete room darkening.
They are a practical choice for living rooms, dining rooms and home offices when you want to cover the window while retaining natural daylight. They can also be used in bedrooms when partial shading is sufficient. If strong darkening for sleep is your priority, compare them with our blackout roller blinds.
Can you see through day and night blinds at night?
The level of privacy depends on the position of the stripes, the type of fabric and the difference between the lighting inside and outside. After dark, when the lights are on indoors, the room may be visible through the transparent stripes. Closing the densely woven stripes reduces visibility, but it should not be treated as a guarantee that silhouettes will be completely hidden in all conditions.

No-drill day and night blinds
No-drill installation allows you to fit the blind without making holes in the window frame. It is a practical solution for rented homes and anywhere you want to keep the frame free from screw holes.
Before purchasing, check whether the construction and thickness of the window sash are compatible with the brackets supplied with the selected model. You should also consider the space around the handle and above the sash so that the fitted blind does not interfere with opening the window. Always follow the installation instructions included with the product.
How should you measure a window before ordering?
Begin with the measuring instructions provided on the product page of your chosen blind. Check whether the stated width refers to the fabric itself or to the complete blind including the mechanism, as these dimensions may differ. The fabric should cover the glass correctly, while the mechanism must fit comfortably on the window sash.
- Measure every window separately, even if they appear to be identical.
- Check the distance between the glass, the handle and any other protruding elements.
- Select a height of 120, 150 or 220 cm according to your measurements and the product instructions.
- Before adding the blind to your basket, check the selected width, height, fabric colour and mechanism colour.
Which colour of day and night blind should you choose?
White, cream and light grey blinds work well with light-coloured window frames and understated interiors. Anthracite and black create a stronger frame around the window, while colours such as green, blue or plum can complement other decorative elements in the room. If several windows are positioned next to each other, it is usually best to use the same fabric type and colour.
The fabric colour affects the appearance of light inside the room, but a dark shade does not automatically provide blackout properties. When choosing a blind, consider both the colour and the fabric structure. Remember that colours displayed on a screen may differ slightly from the actual material.
How should day and night blinds be cleaned?
Remove dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush, taking particular care around the transparent stripes. Small marks can be carefully wiped with a slightly damp cloth, in accordance with the care instructions for the selected fabric. Avoid vigorous rubbing, soaking the fabric or washing it in a washing machine. After cleaning, leave the blind fully extended until it is dry.
Choose the colour, width and height, then check the price of your configuration on the product page. A correctly fitted day and night blind allows you to adjust the lighting inside your home without having to uncover the entire window each time.
