Solar Shading Fabric
Sophisticated design meets environmental performance in GlacierScreen FR solar shading fabrics by Hunter Douglas. The shades promote high air quality while protecting against heat gain and UV exposure. An innovative new manufacturing process eliminates nearly all odors due to off-gassing by avoiding the use of VOC-emitting substances. GlacierScreen fabrics contain no brominated flame retardants or heavy metals, and are certified as low-emissions products by the Greenguard Institute. Fabrics are colorfast and reinforced against yellowing or reddening due to heat and UV exposure.
