Healing Happens Here
Designed for Healing. Engineered for Performance.
At Mecho, we believe every element of the built environment should be grounded in evidence—and that includes the window. Our shading systems aren’t just products—they’re precision tools that support better patient outcomes, improve staff and system performance, and elevate healthcare design excellence.
Decades of research—from Florence Nightingale’s earliest observations to today’s clinical studies—confirm what designers and clinicians know: thoughtfully designed environments support healing.

Creating the optimum environment for patient comfort
Here’s how we’ve been working to foster and inspire innovation and well-being from our early days into the future.
Light is Medicine:
Daylighting as a Care Strategy
EBD research shows that access to daylight can reduce stress, pain medication use, and length of stay. Patients recovering from surgery in rooms with natural views experienced 8.5% shorter hospitalizations and used 22% less pain medication, according to Roger Ulrich’s foundational 1984 study.
Mecho systems enable fine-tuned daylighting that meets these needs. Our intelligent shade and controls platforms minimize glare, manage solar heat gain, and preserve circadian rhythms—critical for recovery and mood regulation. All while supporting LEED® and WELL Building goals.
Because sunlight isn’t a luxury. It’s part of the treatment plan.
Quieter Spaces. Faster Healing.
Hospital noise levels frequently exceed World Health Organization recommendations, directly impacting patient rest and staff burnout. Excessive noise has been linked to increased heart rates, higher perceived pain, and lower satisfaction scores.
Mecho offers the only solar shade system in the industry with documented acoustic performance. Our shade cloths achieve NRC ratings up to 0.65, absorbing disruptive ambient noise while controlling light. The result? Quieter patient rooms, calmer ICUs, and focused work zones for staff.
Privacy, Dignity, and Clinical Confidence
Privacy is more than a courtesy—it’s a clinical necessity. HIPAA compliance, infection control, and patient dignity all rely on adaptable, dependable shading.
Our ThermoVeil® 0900 Series—winner of the prestigious Nightingale Award—is built for total visual privacy while still allowing for soft, glare-free daylight. With 0–1% openness, this solution empowers facility planners to meet diverse patient and clinical needs in a single, elegant platform.
Automation that Works the Way Healthcare Works
Healthcare is 24/7. Your shading system should be too. Our automated and motorized solutions are engineered to reduce manual interaction, support infection control protocols, and free up caregivers’ time. Shades respond to schedules, solar data, or nurse controls—whatever the room, the need, or the clinical workflow.
This is operational excellence that supports human-centered care.
Designed for Evidence.
Built for Outcomes.
Evidence-based design (EBD) requires evidence-based solutions. Mecho is committed to advancing environments that are more responsive, more sustainable, and more human. With over 50 years of innovation and partnerships with leading healthcare systems, our products help realize the vision of safer, smarter, people-centric buildings.
Let us help you bring EBD from concept to construction.
Easy to Clean Shade Cloth
All of our commercial shade cloths are able to be simply cleaned and disinfected in 4 easy steps:
- Dust Using a duster with a soft, disposable head.
- Clean Using mild soap and water, clean gently with a sponge or cloth.
- Dry Using a clean, soft cloth or duster.
- Disinfect Using products that have Hydrogen Peroxide as the active ingredient. Hydrogen Peroxide meets the EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Sustainability is not an add-on at Mecho, it’s core to who we are
Our products are designed with rigorous sustainability principles to prioritize human and environmental health.
At Mecho we don't build products for a season or a trend, we build them to stand the test of time. That means we’ve always thought ahead — to how our products impact the health and comfort of people and planet; how they can operate in harmony with evolving building systems; and where they will go once they eventually leave the building. Thinking ahead and thinking holistically are foundational to our sustainability program.
