Since 1987, Cascade Coil has offered woven wire fabrics that have fueled the imaginations of architects and interior designers while offering significant building performance and environmental benefits. Find out about our eco-friendly processes and products, plus the measures that Cascade Coil takes for a sustainable future.
Cascade Coil Drapery has voluntarily disclosed product ingredients, sources, and manufacturing locations via Declare. Cascade Coil Drapery meets the stringent requirements of the Living Building Challenge. No toxic Red List chemicals are used in the manufacturing process.
Over 90% of manufacturing waste is recycled. Cascade Coil’s manufacturing facility has made significant improvements to reduce energy and increase employee comfort. Also, due to the demand for environmentally sustainable interior and exterior elements, Cascade Coil has always made a concerted effort to use recycled materials, which meet or exceed industry manufacturing standards. We source our wire from manufacturers who use a high percentage of recycled content, some as high as 90% scrap base.
Our manufacturing process uses minimal energy, no toxic chemicals or solvents, and produces almost no scrap (the small amount of scrap produced is recycled). In addition, paint fume emissions are substantially lower than the Oregon State Department of Environmental Quality standards, and many of our natural wire finishes require no painting at all.
Fabricoil® is a permanent material that’s lightweight and easy to install. The fabric is flameproof, has a low life cycle cost, and is ideal for public area applications due to its superior strength. It is also low maintenance – the powder coated and low-VOC clear lacquer finishes will not fade or darken and the material tends to shed dust
If the need for cleaning should arise, Cascade Coil recommends compliance with the AAMA 609 & 610 cleaning and maintenance guide for architecturally finished aluminum. Panels may also be brushed or vacuumed if necessary. If the material somehow becomes dirty and the above methods are not sufficient, it may be cleaned with a mild detergent and water, such as Ivory. Do not use harsh chemicals on the mesh. It could weaken and remove the coatings or discolor the wire itself.
Cascade Coil is in the process of verifying manufacturing compliance, to meet or exceed requirements specified in AAMA 2605-13 Voluntary Specification, Performance Requirements and Test Procedures for Superior Performing Organic Coatings on Architectural Aluminum Extrusions and Panels.
