Specialty Fabrics Review January 2020 - 30

This house had a bank of south-facing
windows that caused the space to
overheat during the summer. Fabricon
installed motorized vertical roller
shades on the windows, as well as a pair
of lateral arms over the deck. Since the
shades were installed, the homeowners
have not had to run the air conditioning.

it's better to block the sun from the
outside before it hits the glass-but it's
still much smaller in numbers."
Consequently, because of intense
competition in the commercial interior
screens arena, many interior-screen
resellers are now eyeing the exterior
market, he says.
RESIDENTIAL DEMAND
Fabricon LLC provides custom exterior
shade systems, says Mark Welander, owner
of the Missoula, Mont., company that offers
a full spectrum of custom fabric products.
In addition to shades, the company makes
custom tents and tensile structures.
Its roller systems are either motorized
or manual, constructed mainly with
woven, solution-dyed acrylic and polyester
fabrics, PVC meshes and high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) shade mesh-textiles
also used in the company's awnings and
shade sails, says Welander. Currently,

demand for its exterior window roller
shades is evenly split between residential
and commercial customers. Although the
company's fabric structures are available
throughout the U.S. and overseas, its roller
systems stay local.
Welander describes a residential arena
that is very price-focused, a concern
inhibiting the interest in automation/smart
controls, although the use of motorized
systems has increased. Customers are also
less concerned about energy savings ("There
still seems to be a general lack of awareness
of these products and how they can help
reduce energy usage," he observes) and
more driven by aesthetics.
For Palmer, the growing residential
use of screens he's experiencing is being
fueled in part by their ability to block out
unwanted direct sunlight, heat and glare
without getting in the way of the view.
"Or, some people like to add screens for
privacy from their neighbors," he continues.
