About us
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.

Check out 10 years of Mecho shades!
Our team got the opportunity to walk through a project we completed over a decade ago, and we were amazed that the end user (Claremont McKenna College) has not had any issues with any of the motorized shades (over 100 standard vertical and 7 horizontal skylight FTS shades) for over 10 years! We're super impressed with Mecho's quality fabrics and hardware, and grateful for our team's quality installation! Here's to another 10 years of smooth motorized shade operation!

We’re excited to announce a major milestone: Mecho now offers the first-ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for motorized shades—an achievement that sets a new benchmark in sustainable building design. EPDs provide transparent, third-party verified insights into a product’s environmental impact, from materials and manufacturing to energy use and end-of-life. With this breakthrough, architects and designers can confidently integrate Mecho motorized shades into projects aiming for LEED, WELL, or other sustainability goals. With no existing guidelines for motorized shades, our team worked to create a new framework, combining expertise in shading systems, building automation, and environmental analysis. At Mecho, we’re proud to lead the way toward a smarter, greener built environment.
