Korean Combi Blinds

Combi blinds are often referred to as Korean blinds, zebra blinds or day and night blinds. They are a type of dual-layered window covering that combines alternating strips of sheer and opaque fabric. This design allows users to control privacy and light by adjusting the alignment of the fabric layers. When the opaque bands overlap, the blind darkens the room for privacy. When the sheer and opaque stripes alternate and the sheer layers are exposed, natural light can filter in, creating a degree of visibility. This unique mechanism makes them ideal for homeowners seeking a blend of functionality and style.

Korean combi blinds are popular for their modern aesthetic and dual functionality. They offer the convenience of visibility, opaqueness and privacy in a single system. Thus, you will not need separate day and night curtains. Their sleek and horizontal design adds a contemporary touch to any interior. Moreover, the compact hardware of combi blinds makes them perfect for small spaces. Finally, these blinds also help reduce glare and block harmful UV rays, thereby improving comfort and protecting your furniture.

Korean, or combi blinds, are designed with alternating sheer and opaque fabric stripes that let you control light throughout the day and night. They provide privacy while still allowing natural light to filter in. Combining style, practicality, and a space-efficient design, they’re perfect for modern Singaporean homes.

The Korean blinds work through a simple yet clever mechanism. They consist of two layers of fabric that are continuously rotated around a roller tube. Each layer contains alternating opaque and sheer stripes. When the opaque portions align with each other, the blind effectively darkens the room and provides privacy. When the sheer stripes align with the opaque ones on the opposite layer, soft light enters the space while still offering some visual coverage. You can stop the blinds at any position to achieve your desired balance of light and privacy.

Combi blinds are highly popular in Singapore for their stylish, space-saving design and functional versatility. Their dual-layer fabric allows day-and-night light control, offering privacy without sacrificing natural light. Great for HDB flats, condominiums, and offices, they combine modern aesthetics with practicality, making them a preferred choice for homeowners and interior designers alike.

Yes, our combi blinds are made with high-quality, anti-mould, and moisture-resistant Korean fabrics, specifically suited for Singapore’s humid climate.

At Fabrik Etc, we provide a curated range of combi blinds or Korean window shades to meet different light control needs. Our light-filtering blinds are perfect for soft daylight and glare reduction all the time. If you are going for a dimout material, you can expect 80 to 90% of light to be blocked and full privacy to be maintained. For homeowners that deem darkness is to be quintessential, we offer blackout combi blinds that block out nearly all external light. Our combi blinds are available in a wide variety of colours, fabrics and textures to suit your design preference.

Yes, we offer motorised Korean blinds for added convenience. With the touch of a button or a remote control, you can adjust the blinds to your preferred position. Motorised options are especially useful for larger or hard-to-reach windows and can be integrated with your smart home systems for automated light control throughout the day.

Korean blinds are versatile enough to be used in all areas of the home. In living rooms, they provide a modern aesthetic while softening daylight. In bedrooms, the dimout or blackout versions are ideal for creating a more cosy sleeping environment. In home offices, they reduce screen glare without making the space feel enclosed.

Maintaining Korean combi blinds is simple. Regular dusting with a microfiber cloth or a gentle vacuum helps keep them looking fresh. For light stains or smudges, a damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning. As with any fabric-based window treatment, avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water to preserve the integrity and appearance of the material.

Yes, you can customise Korean blinds to match your home interior. At Fabrik Etc, we specialise in custom-made Korean combi blinds that are tailored to your window measurements and interior design preferences. Whether you are looking for a soft neutral tone, a bold statement piece or a textured finish, our sales consultants will guide you in selecting the right material.

The price of Korean combi blinds depends on several factors, such as the size of your windows, the type of fabric selected (light-filtering, dim-out, or blackout) and whether you are going for manual or motorised operation.

Blackout combi blinds have two opaque fabric layers that align to block nearly 90% of light. This makes them perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or home theatres where full darkness is desired. Even in bright daylight, they help reduce glare, improve sleep quality, and contribute to energy efficiency while maintaining a sleek and modern look.

Dual-layer Korean combi blinds are considered the best for balancing light control and privacy. Sheer layers allow daylight while reducing glare, and opaque layers provide complete privacy when needed. At our store, we offer light-filtering, dimout, and blackout fabrics, with options for layering or pairing with curtains to customise light, mood, and privacy according to each room’s requirements.

Yes, combi blinds can be installed in HDB flats and condominium apartments, offering a space-saving and stylish solution. Their sleek design fits neatly within most window frames, making them the right choice for modern homes.

Combi blinds are lightweight and may sway in areas with strong airflow, such as open windows or balconies. This is normal and not a defect. For windy or outdoor-facing spaces, you can consider our weighted bottom bars, motorised blinds, or outdoor-rated options such as roller or Ziptrak® blinds designed for enhanced stability and durability.

Yes, we offer a free site survey and measurement service for all combi blinds. Our experts visit your home or office to assess your windows, discuss your light control and privacy needs, and provide personalised guidance to ensure your blinds fit and operate seamlessly.

Combi blinds typically have a width limit of up to 2.8 metres per panel due to fabric roll limitations and mechanism stability. For wider windows, multiple panels can be installed to ensure smooth operation and long-lasting durability. Motorised systems are recommended for larger installations, providing consistent alignment and control.
