ECO-EFFICIENT MATERIALS

In the same way that energy efficient window treatments are better for your home and the environment, so are eco-efficient materials used for your window treatments. While energy-efficient window treatments help the environment by reducing your energy consumption, eco-efficient materials are made more sustainably and with fewer or no harmful substances. But how do you know if a material is eco-efficient? You can usually tell through green certification, and products made with all-natural materials are often a safer bet as well.

OEKO-TEX^® Certification
OEKO-TEX, as an organization, is made up of several independent textile and leather testing institutes in Europe and Japan. The trusted standards these institutes have developed help consumers make responsible decisions in their textile and leather choices. An OEKO-TEX certification means the material was tested and is free from harmful substances, making it safer for your home and better for the environment. Many of our window treatments feature OEKO-TEX certifications, including many of our Roller and Solar Shade materials.

GreenGuard^® Certification
GreenGuard^® is a certification given by UL Solutions, who tests materials including textiles for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are airborne chemicals often emitted from household items like furniture, building materials, electronics, cleaning products and more. A GreenGuard certification means the item has been tested for chemical emissions and is found to have very low or negligible emissions. This translates to cleaner air to breathe and a healthier indoor environment. Window treatments with GreenGuard certification include many of our Roller and Solar Shade materials.

All Natural Materials
Natural materials are those that come from a natural source, and are often a more sustainable, eco-friendly choice. We offer several different types of natural materials across our product lines, including:

• Cottons, linens, silks and wool in our Roman Shades and Drapery. These fabrics are also made without the use of azo dyes, some of which have been found to be harmful.
• Grasses, reeds, paper and bamboo are all used in our Woven Wood Shades. These materials are fast-growing and environmentally friendly.
• American Basswood from trees specifically grown to be harvested is used for our Wood Blinds, which means we don’t use wood from old-growth forests.
• Foam wood, made from sustainable, eco-friendly materials, is used for our Faux Wood Blinds.

ENERGY EFFICIENT UPGRADES & CONTROL

From material selection to control mechanism, there are endless options for customizing your energy efficient window treatments.
