Vision Roller Blind (Day & Night Blind)
What is a Vision Blind?
Vision blinds (also known as day & night blinds or zebra blinds) feature alternating sheer and opaque fabric strips that give you precise control over light and privacy. Simply adjust the alignment of the strips to achieve anything from soft filtered light to complete privacy.
Vision Roller Blind (Day & Night)
Day & night blind with alternating sheer/opaque strips. Made to measure, chain or electric.
Vision blinds (also called day & night blinds, zebra blinds, or duo blinds) consist of two layers of fabric with alternating sheer and opaque horizontal stripes.
By adjusting the alignment of the stripes, you can achieve anything from full privacy to beautifully filtered natural light. When the opaque stripes overlap, you get complete privacy. When the sheer stripes align, soft light filters through whilst maintaining a degree of privacy.
The blind sits inside an elegant cassette housing (7.5cm deep × 6.5cm high), available in 7 colours: White, Beige, Satin, Chrome, Bronze, Anthracite and Black. The bottom bar automatically matches your chosen cassette colour for a coordinated look.
Choose between a traditional chain mechanism for simple, reliable manual operation — or upgrade to electric with a Somfy battery motor and remote control for effortless motorised operation with no wiring required.
Fabrics are from the Louvolite collection, offering 21 ranges of premium day & night fabrics in a variety of colours, textures and transparency levels.

What are vision blinds?
Vision blinds (also called day & night blinds or zebra blinds) feature two layers of fabric with alternating sheer and opaque horizontal stripes. By adjusting the alignment of the stripes, you can control the amount of light and privacy in your room.
How do vision blinds work?
The blind uses a continuous loop of fabric with alternating sheer and opaque strips. When you adjust the position (via chain or remote), the two layers shift relative to each other. When sheer strips align, light filters through. When opaque strips overlap, you get full privacy.
Can I fit vision blinds myself?
Yes! Vision blinds are designed for easy DIY fitting. They come with brackets and full instructions. You just need a drill, screwdriver, spirit level and tape measure.
What’s the difference between chain and electric?
Chain operation is a traditional manual mechanism — you pull a chain to adjust the blind. Electric operation adds a Somfy battery motor inside the cassette, controlled by a handheld remote (included). The electric option costs £166.96 extra and requires no wiring.
How long does the electric battery last?
The Somfy battery motor lasts approximately 1 year with daily use. Battery life varies depending on blind size and frequency of operation.
Can I replace the battery?
Yes, the battery is easily replaceable. The motor is designed for simple battery changes without removing the blind from the window.
What colours are available for the cassette?
The cassette is available in 7 colours: White, Beige, Satin, Chrome, Bronze, Anthracite, and Black. The bottom bar automatically matches your chosen cassette colour.
How do I measure for vision blinds?
For inside recess fitting, measure the exact width and drop of the recess opening. For outside recess (face fix), measure the area you want to cover, adding overlap as desired. Always measure in centimetres.
What is the delivery time?
Vision blinds are made to order and typically delivered within 7 to 10 working days. Delivery to UK Mainland is free.
Can I order multiple blinds with aligned fabric?
Yes, if you order multiple blinds in the same fabric, they will be cut from the same batch to ensure consistent colour and pattern alignment.

Measuring Guide

- Outside recess: Measure the area you want to cover, allowing extra overlap if desired (we recommend 5-10cm each side).
