According to Paula Deason, vice president of Sun Control, "The Greenguard evaluation of our interior shading fabrics is completely voluntary. It ensures the highest industry standards are being applied to maintain indoor air quality for the health and safety of building occupants. Phifer's environmental responsibility is part of our corporate culture. We do it because it's the right thing to do." Phifer SheerWeave fabrics can be fabricated into all types of window treatments and are easy to maintain. SheerWeave helps reduce solar heat and glare through windows, thereby lowering energy costs, and it also helps prevent the fading of interior furnishings, all while maintaining excellent outward visibility.All products certified by GEI must pass a series of rigorous emissions tests and undergo quarterly tests as well as annual re-certification to ensure their low emission status is maintained. GEI is an independent, third party, unbiased non-profit organization founded to create healthier indoor environments, improving public health and quality of life by testing and certifying low chemical-emitting products and materials and helping manufacturers build better and safer products.
