Why Mecho Shades?
We have all been in the situation where we’re trying to get work done and are annoyed by the glare on our computer screen. Or, we’re trying to relax on a weekend and can’t watch a TV show because of the sun reflecting off of it. Or, on a cold winter day, you may come into your office and that little bit of sun peeking throughout the window is making it uncomfortably hot.
Today’s standard window glazing alone does not adequately protect people inside a building from solar heat gain or glare. Luckily, we have products such as the MechoSystems roller shading systems that really allows you to control how the sun affects your life inside your home or business. MechoShade cloths are woven in densities from blackout to 18% open to preserve your view and allow in natural light while lessening heat gain and reducing harmful UV rays. These high tech shade cloths are available in over 200 weaves, colors and patterns.
 Chain-driven MechoShade manual roller screens are part of the most comprehensive manual solar protection and room-darkening system available. MechoSystems’ patented bracket design has an overrunning clutch, self-lubricating components, and a larger diameter sprocket, providing 67% more lift capacity. Mecho/5 increases the shade size range that a manual drive system can lift before motorization is required. Mecho requires no adjustment, resulting in faster, easier installation. |
 SlimLine is MechoSystems’ compact heavy-duty bracket system designed for small shades in narrow spaces, using the Mecho®/3 operating system. |
 The Suburban/2 was developed in response to the need for a well-designed, high quality, moderately priced roller shade for commercial or residential shades. The Suburban/2’s clean lines, care-free maintenance and high quality components are backed by a Ten-Year Limited Warranty that makes it a great value for a limited budgets and/or a tight space requiring a small profile. |
