Coral Springs's homes and windows

Zebra blinds are a roller blind with two layers of striped fabric, sheer and solid, that slide past each other to let light in or block it. In Coral Springs, where 42% of homes are apartments or condos and 49% are detached houses, they compete with shutters for the same windows.

The year runs from 0 freezing nights to 92 days at 90°F or more, so whatever covers the window works in both seasons.

On the 92 days a year that reach 90°F, a zebra blind is either up or down; tilting shutter louvers block high sun and keep the view below.

In a condo

With 42% of homes in multi-unit buildings, many windows here are wide and the budget goes on more of them. Zebra blinds cost less per window; shutters cost more, have nothing to wear out but the paint, and can be repainted when you redecorate.

Zebra blinds usually raise with a chain or cord, or a motor. Shutters have no cords at all. Canada has regulated corded window coverings since May 1, 2021.
