Why Fiberglass

IT'S THE CORE DIFFERENCE

The Material Matters

Our fabrics are built different. At the heart of a Mermet fabric is fiberglass, chosen for its exceptional strength and stability. It won’t stretch or lose its shape when exposed to the heat of a window, helping your shades hang straighter, track better, and look beautiful for years to come.

Protected by a durable vinyl coating, the fiberglass core delivers the lasting performance Mermet is known for.

Because better shade starts at the core.

Clearer Views. Fewer Service Calls.

Mermet’s thinner fiberglass core yarn allows for more, smaller openings within the weave. Much like more pixels create a sharper image on a screen, these finer openings create a crisper, higher-resolution view without sacrificing comfortable shade or glare control. The thinner, lighter fabric also creates a smaller roll-up diameter and reduces the load on shade motors and hardware, supporting reliable performance over time while helping reduce service calls.

The result is a clearer view with less demand on the shade system.

The Core Difference Is Clear

From clearer views to lasting quality, fiberglass provides the foundation for fabrics designed to meet the demands of today’s shade systems. It’s one of the reasons Mermet has built a reputation for sun control textiles that deliver where it matters, from the way a fabric looks to the way it performs.

And our commitment to quality goes beyond the core. Mermet fabrics meet GREENGUARD Gold indoor air quality standards, pass antibacterial and antifungal testing, and are easy to clean. Select fabrics also feature our SFR™ (Safe Flame Retardant) certification, adding another level of product safety and transparency.

It all starts with the right foundation. And for Mermet, that foundation is fiberglass.
