Mecho Information

Since 1969, Mecho® has been a trusted partner to architects and designers to help bring their design visions to life. Responding to the growing and evolving needs of the architectural and design communities, Mecho is at the forefront of revolutionizing window shades, effectively creating a new industry. Mecho thrives in hard-to-solve design and technical challenges and embraces “the unbreakable spec”— those unique projects that call for shading non-rectangular, sloping, high, wide, monumental, difficult-to-access, and other non-standard windows. Mecho has the solution that architects and designers specify to get the job done right. Mecho’s product line includes the manual Mecho 5, the motorized ElectroShade®, and revolutionary solutions such as SolarTrac®, an automated shading system that tracks the sun and automatically adjusts ElectroShades throughout a defined space, entire building or complete campus. Mecho’s innovation and “thinking outside the box” approach applies advanced science to important sustainability goals. The manual Mecho®/5 with eco-friendly EcoVeil® shadecloth has been recognized as Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM Bronze products by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. EcoVeil® and our time-tested ThermoVeil® sunscreen are some of the more than 300 textiles now offered in a range of densities, weaves, openness, and colors to satisfy the unique demands of curtain-wall applications, glass types, geographical orientations, locations, and aesthetics. Not to brag, but we’ve earned dozens of awards, are asked for by the world’s leading architects and designers, and are recognized today as “best in class” by a new generation of creatives and builders. From protecting art to highlighting architectural elements to improving occupant performance, Mecho will configure solutions that will meet your needs. Our engineers, designers, and product specialists eagerly wait for your next design. We dare you to imagine it.
