FAQ
What are Korean blinds?
Korean Blinds Singapore — also called Shadow Blinds or Zebra Blinds — are a dual-layer woven fabric roller blind originally popularised in South Korea. The two-layer construction creates a soft, textured appearance on the window, with a woven face layer and a backing layer that controls light. They are popular in Singapore for their designer aesthetic and versatile light filtering.
Are Korean blinds the same as shadow blinds?
Yes. Korean Blinds and Shadow Blinds refer to the same product. VB Blind markets them as Shadow Blinds, but Korean Blinds Singapore is the widely recognised common name used by homeowners searching in Singapore.
Do Korean blinds provide full blackout?
No — and this is important to understand. Because Korean Blinds are made from two woven layers with a natural small gap between them, we cannot guarantee 100% full blackout even with our Blackout Korean Blind variant. The Blackout variant blocks approximately 80–90% of light, which is suitable for most bedrooms, but is not the same as a solid opaque blackout roller blind.
What is the difference between dimout and blackout Korean blinds?
Dimout Korean Blinds reduce incoming sunlight by approximately 60–70%, leaving a soft filtered glow in the room. Blackout Korean Blinds block approximately 80–90% of light, creating a noticeably darker room. Both carry the same textured woven aesthetic — the difference is in the light-blocking backing layer.
Are Korean blinds suitable for Singapore's humid climate?
Yes. VB Blind’s Korean Blind fabrics are suited to Singapore’s tropical indoor environment. As with all indoor fabric blinds, they should not be exposed to direct prolonged water contact or heavy moisture.
Can Korean blinds be motorised?
Yes. VB Blind Korean Blinds are available in motorised versions using Dooya, AOK, or Somfy tubular motors with RF remote control and smart home compatibility. Motorised units require a hardwired 240V mains connection.
How do I clean Korean blinds?
Gently vacuum the fabric surface with a soft brush attachment. For spot stains, use a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap. The dual-layer construction is more delicate than single fabric — avoid pulling, rubbing hard, or soaking the blind.
What sizes are Korean blinds available in?
Manual Korean Blinds: max 2.5m wide by 3.0m drop (min width 0.4m). Motorised Korean Blinds: max 3.0m wide by 6.0m drop (min width 0.8m). Both can be ceiling or wall mounted.
