- SheerWeave fabrics infused with Microban antimicrobial technology are ideal for any commercial or residential environment where microbes are a concern, including spaces such as bathrooms, found in Healthcare, Hospitality, Home, Office, Schools and Institutions.
- Most SheerWeave fabrics include Microban antimicrobial product protection.
- Microban is the leading technology in antibacterial/antifungal protection.
GreenGuard®
GREENGUARD Certification ensures products have met some of the world’s most rigorous and comprehensive standards for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air. Phifer was the first manufacturer in the window treatment industry to achieve GREENGUARD certification for interior shading fabrics. Certification is completely voluntary and ensures that the highest industry standards are being applied to maintain indoor air quality for the health and safety of building occupants.

Flame Retardant
SheerWeave fabrics are ideal for commercial applications or kitchen spaces, and are designed to meet rigorous flame certification standards based on national and local requirements. Check the flame certification standards requirements for your project to verify compliance.
Energy Savings
Phifer’s broad range of SheerWeave fabrics provides excellent reduction in solar heat gain for a more comfortable environment and less work for your air conditioner. Allowing diffused natural light in, SheerWeave may also reduce the need for additional interior lighting for added savings. Check out our Energy Efficient page to learn more.
Safe Use
The Safe Use designation provides assurance that our products are compliant with some of the most stringent standards for chemical content in the world, including RoHS, REACH, ANSI/WCMA A 100.1 -2007 and US Consumer Product Safety Commission Section 101 for lead content. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, certain levels of exposure to lead, which can be found in everything from painted toys and furniture to window blinds, can result in a variety of health effects. Even low levels of exposure in areas like bedrooms and nurseries can be harmful to children. The safe-use stamp marks another confirmation of Phifer’s commitment to remain environmentally responsible.
TrackLess Technology®
All SheerWeave fiberglass yarn fabrics now feature Phifer’s unique TrackLess Technology. This breakthrough technology minimizes the fiberglass yarn’s inherent qualities to track when being rolled up in a shade, especially in spaces like living rooms where you might adjust your shades frequently throughout the day. With TrackLess Technology, these same fabrics will track less, roll up straighter and reduce shade fabrication time.
Printable
Printing unique colors, patterns, logos and graphics on Sheerweave opens a whole new opportunity for product applications. SheerWeave fabrics are ideal for digital and screen printing methods. Your local printer can recommend the best print options based on their capabilities.
PVC Free
When a more environmentally sensitive and sustainable fabric option is preferred, Phifer offers several PVC-free fabrics in multiple openness factors and blackout collections.
