Lutron GreenScreen Evolve Fabric
Woven by Mermet USA in Cowpens, South Carolina. 9 colourways, openness 3%, light-filtering, up to 116 inches wide. Every swatch and every specification, from a certified Lutron dealer in Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach.
A recycled-content, Cradle to Cradle 3% weave in nine weather colours
GreenScreen Evolve is 100% polyester with 67% recycled content, certified Cradle to Cradle, GREENGUARD, lead free and anti-microbial, and PVC-free. Lutron lists it under Sustainable Solar Screens as a 3% light-filtering weave, 116 inches wide, seamable, in nine colours named for weather (Cloud, Light, Haze, Wind, Natural, Rain, Shadow, Shale, Storm). It is listed to NFPA 701 and CA Title 19.
Visible light transmission is high (8% to 28%), so it keeps rooms bright while the 3% weave takes the edge off glare.
The mill: Mermet USA, Cowpens, South Carolina. GreenScreen Evolve is on Mermet USA's Made-in-USA list, woven in Cowpens, South Carolina. It is one of the two mills behind our fabric standard; with direct supply, the same weave is available on Somfy and manual shades, not only on Lutron.
What GreenScreen Evolve does on your glass, and what it does not
Best use
Specify GreenScreen Evolve where a materials schedule rules PVC out and a fiberglass screen is therefore off the table: schools, clinics and office fit-outs chasing Cradle to Cradle points. Then choose by number rather than by name. Storm at 8% visible transmission belongs on west and south glass; Cloud and Light at 28% belong in a north room that has to stay bright.
Privacy
It behaves like a screen, so the daytime answer follows the colour. Storm gives the clearest view out and hides the least. Cloud and Light hide more and show you less. None of the nine gives privacy after dark, when the lamps come on and the light balance reverses. A bedroom or bathroom behind this cloth needs a blackout, on a dual roller or as a second shade.
Glare control
The transmission spread is the whole story. At 28%, Cloud and Light keep the view crisp and leave real glare on a monitor. Storm at 8% and Shadow at 12% are what a home office or a media room needs. Solar transmittance barely moves across the card, from 29% down to 18%, so the colour changes what you see far more than what you feel.
Limitations
It is not railroadable, so 116 inches is the largest single shade and anything wider is seamed or split. The published NRC is 0.15, a small number in absolute terms, because an open weave does little for sound. It does not darken a room. Storm reflects only 40% of the solar energy that reaches it, so the dark end warms up at the glass.

Where GreenScreen Evolve works here
GreenScreen Evolve is our answer to the materials question on Miami new-construction projects: a screen-like roller with recycled content and Cradle to Cradle certification that still looks like a designer fabric. Haze and Cloud on a north or east wall; Storm or Shale where a darker, calmer room is wanted.
GreenScreen Evolve: frequently asked
Is GreenScreen Evolve a solar screen?

How wide can a Lutron GreenScreen Evolve shade be?
Lutron publishes a maximum usable fabric width of 116 inches for GreenScreen Evolve. It can be seamed for wider openings, or two shades share one headrail and move together. We confirm the exact limit for the chosen system when we measure.
