We have access to some of the nicest roller shade fabric on the market.  However, beyond great design choices we also offer Eco Certifications that are important for those with specific concerns when it comes to PVC off-gassing.

All of our fabrics are different and as such contain some or multiples of the following certifications.  Some of the official certifications/indications our fabrics have earned:

Greenguard®: Indoor Air Quality certification program indicating low emission products and materials; utilizes evaluation for over 75,000 chemicals, which include VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), carcinogens and reproductive toxins.

Greenguard Children & Schools®: Certification program that establishes extremely strict chemical emissions standards to accommodate the special needs of children in educational and daycare facilities.

Microban®: Antimicrobial protection fabric additive inhibits the growth of stand and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew for the life of the fabric.

RoHS:  Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive; often referred to as the 'lead-free directive', but also restricts the use of:Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB and Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

Öko-Tex 100: According to oeko-tex.com, a certification program "based on scientifically proven parameters... revised annually in line with the latest legislation and research", restricting: Illegal Substances such as carcinogenic colorants. Legally regulated substances such as formaldehyde, plasticizers, heavy metals or pentachlorophenol, substances which according to current knowledge are harmful to health, but which are not yet regulated or prohibited by law such as pesticides, allergenic dyes or tin-organic compounds. The standard also includes parameters such as color fastness and a skin-friendly pH-value, which are precautionary measures to safeguard consumer health.

Most of our fabrics have multiple certifications; and we would love to work with you on your project and review your fabric's complete technical data and certifications.  Additionally, for an estimate of what your project might cost, please check out our online roller shade cost calculator.
