Draper shades with Phifer SheerWeave Style 3500 (4000) Shade Fabrics combine the durability of vinyl coated polyester with the latest in green PVC technology. ECOLIBRIUM is a renewable alternative to traditional plasticizers that lowers greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 40% vs. existing PVC compounds. Style 4000 Shade Fabrics with DOW ECOLIBRIUM are phthalate-free, lead-free and RoHS compliant. Phifer fabrics maintain all of the established benefits of traditional vinyl such as durability, cleanability and fabric longevity. Style 4000 may also be used in exterior shading systems and are compatible with all Draper FlexShade products.
Window treatments that facilitate solar control by reducing solar heat gain are an integral solution for sustainable architecture. The daylighting strategy of a green building is made easy with custom shading which can both provide glare control shading and let in natural light.
