Mecho®/5x

Improved manual roller shade systems for commercial projects

The Best Keeps Getting Better

Meet Mecho/5x, Mecho’s newest manual window shade solution. Since 1969, the Mecho manual shade system has set the standard for quality and performance. 50 years later, the Mecho/5x is the latest innovation on the clutch that started the commercial shade industry.

WHY CHOOSE MECHO/5X?

Patented Clutch Drive Technology

Our latest innovation has patented overrunning clutch drive technology. The oil-impregnated clutch sprocket allows for quiet raising and lowering that is smooth and effortless. This super powered system is able to lift larger, heavier commercial grade solar shades while still providing the same consistent user experience as the original.

Multi-Band Commercial Window Shade Solutions

Just like Mecho/5, the Mecho/5x shade system ensures multi-band shades are always at a consistent height and that multiple chain pulls are eliminated. The updated version allows for multi-banded commercial shades, including 5 bands, up to 360 inches wide (depending on fabric weight) and single shades up to 180 inches wide, helping to eliminate light leaks. Single or dual roller shade bracket options are available. With Mecho/5x, there’s a greater angle to the chain pull, allowing for more versatile operation when obstructions may block a window. Our patented clutch raises and lowers the roller shades for an improved user experience, even smoother and quieter than before.

Durable Commercial Shades for Optimized Building Performance

The Mecho/5x shade system’s durability makes it suitable for commercial applications, from workplace and education to hospitality and healthcare environments. Its ability to work with large industrial roller shades and multi-banding without motorization saves time and money, plus makes installation fast and easy. The reduced pull force makes it ideal in healthcare or senior living environments where users may have physical limitations with manual window shades. A Mecho 5/x shade system is integral in controlling solar gain and glare, helping to optimize the performance of buildings, and the experience of its occupants.
