Our Products

Luxaflex® Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Products

Using materials and processes that meet the highest possible standards for safety and sustainability is central to the Luxaflex® sustainability vision.

Cradle to Cradle Certified™ guarantees that a product has been designed by selecting healthy and safe materials, materials worthy of recycling thus minimising and eliminating waste. To assess and certify the soundness of our materials, we've adopted the internationally recognised Cradle to Cradle Certified™ product standard.

We are proud that our Duette® Shades, Roller Blinds, Plisse Shades, and Vertical Blind fabrics and our Aluminium Venetian Blinds, are Cradle to Cradle Certified ™ at the bronze level.

Ask your local Luxaflex® retailer to show you our range of eco-friendly products for your home.

Recycled Materials

Since the 1970’s Luxaflex® has been producing Venetian Blinds with recycled aluminium, with up to 98% recycled content today.

Cradle to Cradle Certified™ at the Bronze level means that all the components and coatings do not contain substances that can be harmful to people or the environment. It also includes the responsible use of water and energy, respect for people and the planet.

From recycled Aluminium Blinds to FSC Certified Wood and recycled plastic ocean waste, we’re continuously working on enhancing the sustainable attributes of our products, and our footprint, to contribute to a more sustainable world.

Environmentally Responsible Fabrics

Estimates suggest that 9 million tons of plastic waste dumps into the world’s oceans every year.

The ocean currents, wind and waves form giant collections of this plastic which, in turn, become floating hazards and kill our sea animals. Luxaflex® is proud to be part of a program that has already reclaimed over 30 tons of plastic waste washed ashore.

What’s more, we’ve put it to good use. Our latest innovation, GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ is the world's first fabric for roller blinds and vertical blinds, made from recycled shoreline plastic.

GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™

Sustainable Materials: FSC Wood

Luxaflex® Wood blinds and Shutters are made from FSC® certified wood from responsibly managed forests.

FSC is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. When you see the FSC logo on a label, you can buy forest products with confidence that you are helping to ensure our forests are alive for generations to come.
