Fiber‑Integrated Technology

Both UVShield 88 and UVShield 99 use fiber‑integrated UV absorbers, not topical coatings. The UV‑blocking chemistry is added to the polyester polymer before extrusion, becoming part of the fiber itself. Protection is uniform, permanent, and unaffected by cleaning, abrasion, or wear.

Full Collection Compatibility

UV‑blocking fabrics are available across all sheer shade collections:

  • S600 Essential — UVShield 88, core colors, continuous cord loop only

  • SP600 Performance — UVShield 88, core colors, all operating systems

  • S900 Designer — UVShield 88, premium colors and textures

  • SP1000 Custom — UVShield 88 or 99, unlimited custom colors (minimums apply)

This allows you to balance protection, aesthetics, and budget across different rooms or building zones.

Documentation for Insurance & Appraisals

Every UV‑blocking shade order includes a certificate of UV protection documenting the tested performance of the specific fabric installed. This documentation can be submitted to insurers and appraisers as proof of conservation measures. Fine‑art and collectibles policies may offer reduced premiums when UV mitigation is documented.

Professional Specification Support

For designers and architects specifying UV protection in commercial or high‑value residential environments, our technical services team provides:

  • Detailed UV transmission test reports

  • ASTM and AATCC compliance documentation

5‑Year UV Performance Warranty

All UVShield fabrics are warrantied to maintain at least 95% of their original UV‑blocking performance for 5 years from the date of manufacture. The warranty covers the fabric only and excludes normal wear, physical damage, and improper cleaning. Coverage is fully transferable.
