By design, all window coverings are inherently "green" because they block solar heat gain and reduce UV
damage inside the home. However, products from Springs Window Fashions not only are manufactured in high recycling facilities,
but offer specific benefits and return on investment to consumers in the form of healthier, more
energy-efficient homes.
- Nearly every product is constructed with recycled materials including plastics, metals and
fabrics. Several products feature additional "green" attributes:
- Our Cellular Shades boast "R-values" of two through five, which indicate a strong resistance to
heat from warm outdoor temperatures. Their unique cellular design forms pockets of air that insulate
windows from heat and cold to conserve energy all year-round.
- Cellular Shades constructed of Gallantry fabric include 25 percent recycled content, which is
certified from DuPont.
- Natural Shades feature the use of renewable materials like bamboo, jute and grasses.
- Solar Shades offer GREENGUARD and OEKO-TEX certified low VOC emission fabrics.
- Roman Shades offer OEKO-TEX certified low VOC emission fabrics.
- Our Wood Blinds are sourced and processed domestically. This means transportation energy is minimized,
unlike many of today's wood products which have traveled long distances from other continents,
consuming significant energy along the way.
- 100 percent of packaging materials are able to be recycled (according to a recent study conducted by
the University of Wisconsin at Madison).
