GREENGUARD Certified Shades – Certified Clean Air

GREENGUARD Certification is the industry benchmark for low‑emitting products. Developed by UL Environment, GREENGUARD standards are referenced by the EPA’s Tools for Schools program, the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system. Our GREENGUARD Certified Shades have been independently tested and verified to meet the rigorous chemical emissions limits of both GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold. This means you can be confident that your window coverings are contributing to cleaner indoor air, not polluting it. This collection is the definitive choice for healthcare facilities, educational institutions, senior living communities, and families who prioritize health and wellness. Available across all our product categories: roller, roman, cellular, zebra, and sheer shades. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions. Certified clean, verified safe.

GREENGUARD vs. GREENGUARD Gold

  • GREENGUARD Certified — Meets strict chemical‑emission limits for more than 360 VOCs and total chemical emissions. Suitable for offices and general commercial environments.

  • GREENGUARD Gold Certified — Meets even stricter limits designed for sensitive populations such as children and the elderly. Gold certification includes additional chemical restrictions and significantly lower total VOC thresholds.

All our GREENGUARD‑certified shades are GREENGUARD Gold — the highest level.

What GREENGUARD Gold Tests For

GREENGUARD Gold certification requires testing for more than 10,000 chemicals, including:

  • VOCs — benzene, toluene, styrene, formaldehyde, and many others

  • Aldehydes — acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and other respiratory irritants

  • Phthalates — plasticizers linked to endocrine disruption

  • Heavy metals — lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium

  • Pesticides & flame retardants of concern

Products must pass ongoing quarterly testing to maintain certification.
