Crestron Grant Fabric
7 colourways, basketweave, openness 5%, Crestron Tier 1. Every swatch and every figure Crestron publishes, from the Crestron-certified team in Fort Lauderdale that specifies and installs Crestron shades from Miami to Palm Beach.
The Heritage book's second Tier 1 basketweave, one weave in seven coloursTier 1
Grant sits in the Heritage Collection beside Esprit: the same Coulisse construction, 70% PVC and 30% PES, the same 118-inch roll, the same Tier 1 column of the budget grid on this page, and the same permission to railroad, seam and take all four hembars including the Designer Half-Wrap. Where Esprit gives eight colours at four openness factors, Grant gives one weave, 5% openness, in seven colours, so it is the fabric for a project that has already settled its openness and wants the lowest tier in a short, simple card.
The card is seven single names, White, Cream, Sand, Beige, Light Gray, Gray and Anthracite, with no two-tone weaves, and it runs from White to Anthracite the way a designer usually chooses it: hold three against the wall and the floor and take the one that disappears. Crestron publishes no solar figures for Grant, so the choice between White and Anthracite is made on the general rule, a pale yarn reflects heat and hazes the view, a dark yarn absorbs heat and keeps the view sharp, and then on the sample at the window at the hour the sun is worst.
Woven by Coulisse.
What Grant does on your glass, and what it does not
Best use
A project that wants the lowest tier on the budget grid and has settled on 5% openness: view rooms under a terrace, east and south glass with shade, a condo where living room, bedrooms and office take one weave and the colour changes room to room. White, Cream, Sand or Beige where the room is pale; Gray or Anthracite where the view matters. Not for a west wall or a room with screens.
Privacy
Daytime cover in the usual proportion for a 5% weave: with sun on the glass the room is hard to read from outside, more so behind White, Cream, Sand and Beige, which reflect the most light back, less behind Gray and Anthracite, which give the clearer view out. No figures are published to sharpen that. After dark every colourway shows a lit room, and a bedroom takes a blackout on a dual roller.
Glare control
Anthracite and Gray are the colourways for a screen or a television: a dark yarn absorbs the light that would scatter into the room, and at 5% openness the view stays clear behind them. White and Cream keep the room bright and leave more glare on a monitor. With no visible transmission figure published, we compare the shortlist on your glass; for a west exposure the answer is a tighter weave, not a darker Grant.
Limitations
One openness, so no 1% or 3% fallback for a west wall or a media room; that goes to Esprit, which runs the same construction down to 1%. No night privacy and no darkening. No solar figures to put in an energy model or an association submission. The dark colourways absorb their share of the sun at the glass, so Anthracite on hot west glass warms the window bay where White would not.

Colourways
Every Grant colourway, with Crestron's published figures
Ts = solar energy transmitted, Rs = solar energy reflected, As = solar energy absorbed and Tv = visible light transmitted, in percent, as Crestron publishes them in its fabric shop and its Fabric Information Guide (revision 3.23.26) for each colourway; Ts, Rs and As add up to 100. Openness is Crestron's figure; width is the usable roll width. We bring samples of the colours you shortlist to the consultation.

The guide excludes control processors, keypads, interfaces, wiring, power supplies, programming and installation. Source (PDF).
Figures are Crestron's own budgetary MSRP guide of June 2022 for one motorized 5 Series roller shade, motor included, before options. They exclude the control system, wiring, power, programming and installation, and Crestron may have changed them since. We quote every project at the measure.
Where Grant works here
Grant goes where Esprit goes at 5% openness, when a short card of seven colours is enough: view rooms under a terrace, east and south glass with some shade, the bedrooms and living room of a condo whose budget wants the first column of the grid. White, Cream, Sand or Beige where the room is pale; Gray and Anthracite where the view across the water should read clearest. We keep it off a west wall and out of rooms with screens, where a 1% weave from Esprit does the work.
Grant is the Heritage book's second Tier 1 basketweave, at 5% openness only, one weave in seven colours; Esprit is the same construction across four openness factors with published figures, Emma the Tier 2 weave at the same openness with a card of metal names, and SheerWeave 2390, 2705 and 4500 the Phifer fiberglass 5% weaves with figures and a fire listing.
Grant: frequently asked
How does Grant differ from Esprit?
They are the same construction, 70% PVC and 30% PES on a 118-inch roll, both Tier 1, both railroaded and seamed, both offered with all four hembars. Both sit in the Heritage book at Tier 1. Esprit comes at four openness factors from 1% to 10%, publishes solar figures for every colourway and is listed fire retardant; Grant comes at 5% openness only, in seven colours, without published solar figures. Choose Esprit where the numbers or the openness ladder matter, Grant where the card does.
Is Grant fire retardant?
Crestron's Fabric Information Guide lists Grant as GREENGUARD and OEKO-TEX certified, lead free, mould and bacteria resistant, certified environmentally safe and Massachusetts compliant, and does not list a fire-retardant rating. In a private home that rarely comes up. Where an association, a hotel or an office wants a fire listing in writing, Esprit gives the same construction with the listing, and we specify that instead.
What does a Crestron shade in Grant cost?
Crestron places this fabric in price Tier 1. Its budgetary guide of June 2022 lists a motorized 5 Series roller shade in a Tier 1 fabric at $900 for 3 ft x 5 ft, $1,100 for 5 ft x 10 ft and $1,400 for 10 ft x 10 ft, MSRP, motor included, before options, control, wiring and installation. Options, the control system, wiring and installation are on top; we quote the finished shade at the measure.
How wide can a Crestron shade in Grant be?
Crestron lists a usable roll width of 118 inches for Grant; the fabric can be railroaded, turned 90 degrees on the roll, so one shade can run wider than the roll as long as it is no taller than the roll width, and where it is taller Crestron joins two widths with a horizontal seam, which we line up with a mullion or a transom. We confirm the limit for the chosen hardware when we measure.
