Our company was formed in 1969 when the MechoShade® window-covering system was developed. It fit the industry's need: an alternative to any other window-covering solution available. The original manually operated roller-shade system is no longer the only of its kind. But no others come close to offering the durability and reliability that its unique, patented design provides.
An entire industry has grown out of imitations. No competing roller-shade manufacturer can actually deliver Solar Protection with a View. Conversely, MechoSystems founder Joel Berman has the research, data, and patents to guarantee it.
While our product line has grown, we've always been a technical company that happens to be in the business of shading. In the midst of the early-1970s oil crisis, energy conservation initiatives were emerging, and our software-controlled, automated-shading system was created. The responsive system was revolutionary. A building was able to reduce its reliance on electrical lighting by better controlling natural light-while requiring little-to-no action from its occupants.

EcoVeil, MechoShade
EcoVeil by MechoShade was developed over six years with green architect Michael McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart. Constructed of a thermoplastic olefin-based yarn called EarthTex, EcoVeil is more than PVC-free and does not have any hazardous chemical components. Through a 'take-back' program, the product is also recyclable into new shadecloth fabrics or other materials without degradation.
