MECHOSHADE ECOVEIL
MechoShade calls it "the revolutionary eco-effective solar shadecloth."
They spent six years developing the project. Instead of the PVC typical
to shadecloth, EcoVeil uses EarthTex thermoplastic olefin yarn coated in
more of the same polymer, which means the whole shade can be melted down
into new shades with no degradation of quality (MechoShade takes the cloth
back so you don't have to rely on the local recycling center having the right facilities).
The mono-material approach also means any cut-off in the factory can be immediately reused,
reducing the potential landfill waste by a million pounds. For now, you can pick from the
eight colors with a 5% openness to the basket weave; more options will be introduced as the
company phases out its PVC solar shadecloth in favor of EcoVeil. If you're counting on big
windows for passive heating, cooling, and lighting, it's nice to be able to cover them in
something besides a pile of PVC.
NATURAL SHADES
A widely popular treatment for patios and sunrooms, the natural shade uses all natural
bamboos, reeds, grasses and fibers to produce elegantly organic window coverings while
promoting a green-recyclable lifesyle. The Natural Shades come in a variety of colors,
styles, and most importantly wood types to suit all of your decoratin yens. Below are
just a few of the featured products available at Blinds and Designs Ltd.
