Renowned for their unique aesthetic and exceptional durability, Chilewich fabrics transform ordinary windows into design statements, offering a luxurious and highly effective solution for managing light, glare, and heat while preserving your connection to the outdoors. These shades are ideal for designers, architects, and homeowners seeking a truly distinctive and high-quality window treatment.

Key Features & Differentiators:

• Signature Chilewich Woven Vinyl Textiles:
  • Distinctive Aesthetic: Unlike traditional solar shades, Chilewich fabrics feature unique woven patterns and rich, multi-tonal colors (such as Basketweave, Mini Basketweave, Bamboo, Boucle, Rib Weave, etc.). These provide a tactile and visual texture that is both modern and timeless, adding unparalleled design depth to any space.
     
  • Sophisticated Palette: A curated selection of colors, often with subtle shifts and shimmering qualities, that reflect light in unique ways, enhancing the ambiance of a room.
  • TerraStrand® Yarns: Woven from proprietary TerraStrand® yarns, which incorporate renewable vegetable-based compounds, making them a more environmentally conscious choice. These yarns are 100% phthalate-free and contain no added petroleum-based plasticizers.
     
     
• Superior Solar Performance:
  • Optimized Light & Glare Control: The specialized weaves and “openness factors” (available in various percentages, e.g., 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%) are designed to effectively filter harsh UV rays and significantly reduce glare on screens, creating a more comfortable and productive environment.
  • View Preservation: Despite their ability to control light, Chilewich Solar Shades maintain a clear, unobstructed view to the outside, allowing natural light to filter through while protecting your interiors.
  • Exceptional UV Protection: Blocks a high percentage of UV radiation, preventing fading and damage to furniture, flooring, and artwork.
     
• Unrivaled Durability & Easy Maintenance:
  • Woven Vinyl Construction: Inherently robust and resilient, Chilewich fabrics are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, making them suitable for both residential and high-traffic commercial applications.
  • Mold & Mildew Resistance: Many Chilewich fabrics incorporate Microban® antimicrobial protection, inhibiting the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew, which is especially beneficial in humid environments or for longevity.
     
  • Simple to Clean: These fabrics are exceptionally easy to maintain. A simple wipe down with soap and water or a standard antibacterial cleanser is typically all that’s needed to keep them looking pristine.
  • Fade Resistant: Engineered to be fade resistant, ensuring your shades retain their beauty and color for years, even with direct sun exposure.
• Health & Environmental Certifications:
  • GREENGUARD® Certified: Chilewich textiles are independently tested and certified for low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions, contributing to healthier indoor air quality.
