Why Choose Mecho/7 Manual Shades?

Lift Larger Shades – Up to 30’ Bays

Mecho's latest innovation takes larger and coupled commercial shades to the next level. The customizable lift assist mechanism, along with our patented pull force algorithm, can now lift up to a 30' bay of shades on a single bead chain while maintaining the industry's best user experience. This breakthrough in technology means the Mecho/7 manual shade system is able to lift larger, heavier commercial solar shades while still providing the same consistent user experience as the Mecho/5x.

The ability to lift larger shades also improves design aesthetic and user experience by eliminating multiple chain pulls and reducing light gaps.


Upgraded Durability

The Mecho/7 commercial window shade system's durability makes it suitable for the most challenging commercial applications, from workplace and education to hospitality and healthcare environments.

The momentum of large commercial window treatments hitting clutch limits can result in the bead-chain breaking, rendering the shade inoperable. Not so with Mecho/7, the system has been designed with a shock-absorbing urethane bumper to prevent shade downtime. This, along with Mecho's commercial-grade components, results in the most durable, reliable manual shade system on the market.


Save Time and Money with Easy and Accurate Installation

Get your installation crew on and off the job site quickly and have confidence that the coupled shades are installed properly.

The Mecho/7 system ensures multi-band shades are always at a consistent height. Our patented, adjustable shade coupler speeds the installation process, ensures precise alignment, and helps eliminate hembar misalignment. The redesigned Mecho/7 brackets have adjustment slots that create flexibility for installers and allow for fine-tuning of bracket orientation, all without drilling new holes.

Upgradeable Bracket Design – Manual Shades to Motorized Shades

A project's requirements and budget can change quickly in today's dynamic environment. Mecho/7 offers the flexibility to change based on project needs or budgets. Allowing for a simple and cost-effective upgrade scenario, you can now market your space as "motorized shade ready" with the new Mecho/7 manual shade system.
