Crestron Heritage Collection Fabrics
253 colourways in 20 designs, every one a basketweave screen from Mermet, Phifer or Coulisse, 1% to 10% open, with solar figures on nearly all of them.
One kind of weave, three mills, and the figures printed
The Heritage Collection is Crestron's solar-screen book, the one to open for the windows you look out of. Each of its designs is a basketweave, a screen that keeps the view while it cuts the sun, and Crestron lists the whole book under that heading, the dual-sided twills of Phifer's SheerWeave 2700 series included. Openness runs from 1% to 10%, and there is nothing light-filtering, sheer or blackout here: those are in the Designer book. What Heritage has instead is paperwork. It holds 253 of the programme's 457 colourways in 20 designs, with solar transmittance, reflectance and absorptance published for every colourway and a visible transmittance range for every design, Grant alone excepted, and a fire retardant listing on most of them.
Three mills divide it, each building its card differently. In the Mermet designs, E Screen, M Screen, S Screen and E Screen KOOLBLACK, you choose a colour, then a weave: E Screen from 1% to 10% openness, M Screen 3% and 5%, KOOLBLACK 1% and 3%, S Screen 4%. In Phifer's SheerWeave, more designs than the other two mills together, you choose the weave by design number, then a colour from a shared card: 2500, 2410, 2390 and 2360; the dual-sided 2701, 2703, 2705 and 2710; 4600 and 4500; with 8000 and Infinity 2 on cards of their own. Coulisse adds its PVC-coated polyester screens: Esprit from 1% to 10%, Emma at 5% on a card named mostly for metals, Santos at 3%, dual sided, and Grant at 5%.

What the Heritage book puts on paper
Solar figures on almost every page
Crestron prints Ts, Rs and As for every colourway but Grant's. Across the book, solar transmittance runs from 0 on Esprit Ebony at 1% to 43 on Emma Pearl, reflectance from 3 up to 75 on E Screen White/White at 1%, and the published visible transmittance from 1% to 51%: screens can be compared on paper first.
Fire listings
Every Mermet and Phifer design in the book is listed fire retardant in Crestron's guide, and so is Esprit. Emma, Santos and Grant are not, which is the first thing to settle when a condo association or a commercial specification asks for a listing. GREENGUARD certification runs across the book except on Emma, and the Coulisse screens add OEKO-TEX.
The widest rolls Crestron offers
Phifer's SheerWeave 2390, 2410, 2500, 2701, 2703, 2705, 4500 and 4600, and 2360 in all but Brilliant/White, roll 124 inches, wider than any Designer fabric. Mermet's screens roll 120, KOOLBLACK at 1% 116, and the Coulisse screens 118; SheerWeave 8000 rolls 116, Infinity 2 and SheerWeave 2710 96.
Mostly one tier
E Screen, M Screen, every SheerWeave design, Emma and Santos sit in Tier 2, so most of the book reads from one column of the budget grid. Esprit and Grant bring a screen down to Tier 1; S Screen and E Screen KOOLBLACK at 3% are Tier 3, and KOOLBLACK at 1% is the book's only Tier 4.
A Heritage screen in front, a Designer layer behind
A Heritage screen does its work in daylight and none after dark. Crestron's design guide is blunt that UV-blocking screens do not provide privacy at night, and even by day the cover depends on the weave: the tighter and paler it is, the more it bounces daylight back at the street and veils the room, while a charcoal gives the clearest view out and the least cover from outside. So a room that has to sleep, or that faces a neighbour after dark, takes a blackout from the Designer book behind the screen, on one bracket as a dual roller; a light-filtering weave in the same place gives privacy by day with the room still bright, though it shows silhouettes at night. Crestron's budget guide, printed on this page, counts the pair as a dual shade and doubles the single-shade figure.
Width is the point to settle first. The widest Heritage screens roll 124 inches, but no Designer blackout rolls more than Merinda's 118 or the 116 of Mika and the Phifer blackouts, so behind a wide screen the blackout is either railroaded, which Crestron allows on SheerWeave 7001, Bella, Dilanna and Flocke, or the wall becomes two dual shades on one line, split at a mullion. Crestron recommends that once one shade in a room is railroaded the others follow, which favours a screen that can be railroaded too: E Screen, M Screen, Esprit, Grant and SheerWeave 2360 to 2710, 4500 and 4600 can; KOOLBLACK, S Screen, Emma, Santos, SheerWeave 8000 and Infinity 2 cannot. Then the paperwork: where a building asks for a fire listing, both layers need it, and on the Designer side that means SheerWeave 7500, 7001 or 7400, Cosima or Flocke.

Crestron's budgetary guide for these fabrics
The heritage collection on this page sit in Crestron price Tier 1 and Tier 2 and Tier 3 and Tier 4. This is Crestron's own guide for one motorized shade, by tier and size.
| Shade size | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | Tier 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 ft wide x 5 ft high | $900 | $1,000 | $1,200 | $1,400 |
| 5 ft wide x 10 ft high | $1,100 | $1,300 | $1,600 | $2,200 |
| 10 ft wide x 10 ft high | $1,400 | $1,600 | $2,000 | $3,200 |
Options in the same guide: fascia $20 per ft; top and back cover $20 per ft; pocket $50 per ft; dual shade (two fabrics, one bracket) double the single-shade figure. The guide names example fabrics per tier: Tier 1: Bella, Mika, Merinda, Nava; Tier 2: E Screen, SheerWeave 2500, 2700 and 7500, Perla, Dilanna; Tier 3: SheerWeave 7000, Rachel, Nohea, Cosima; Tier 4: Flocke, Vizela, Harika; a few have changed tier since, and every fabric page gives the tier the Crestron fabric shop lists today. 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.
Heritage Collection on our installations
Trump Tower III in Sunny Isles Beach is a Heritage job, and the one Crestron fabric project we have published: the living spaces run on E Screen 5% White/White, Crestron's CSF-ESC02-05, rolling out of recessed ceiling pockets and answering to the residence's Control4 system, commissioned with the home's AV partner. Beyond that project, this is how we use the book in a South Florida tower. The view glass takes one Heritage screen line with the openness set by the exposure, the widest sliders a 124-inch SheerWeave or a railroaded E Screen, the association's fire question a design listed fire retardant, and the bedrooms a Designer blackout behind the screen on the same bracket, with the widths, listings and pairs settled at the measure, before anything is ordered.
Heritage Collection: frequently asked
Is there anything in the Heritage book that darkens a room?
No. Every design is a see-through screen, the tightest at 1% openness, and even a charcoal at 1% passes light and keeps the view. A bedroom, a media room or any room that needs privacy after dark takes its second layer from the Designer book: a blackout behind the screen on a dual roller, or a blackout on its own where the view does not matter.
Where do I start in the Heritage book?
With the exposure, which sets the openness; our solar screen page goes through it. Once the openness is set, three questions narrow the book: does the building ask for a fire listing, which rules out Emma, Santos and Grant; how wide is the widest opening, which may point to a 124-inch SheerWeave; and which tier, since Esprit and Grant sit a tier below most of the book. The colour comes last, against your own glass.
What if the screen I like has no published figures?
In this book that only happens with Grant, the Coulisse 5% screen in Tier 1, for which Crestron publishes no Ts, Rs, As or Tv. Its nearest sibling is Esprit: the same 70% PVC and 30% polyester construction, the same 118-inch roll, Tier 1 and all four hembars, but with figures on every colourway, a 5% weave among its four, and a fire retardant listing that Grant does not carry. The cards differ, so compare the two samples side by side.
Which Heritage screens look the same from both sides?
Crestron lists the SheerWeave 2700 designs, 2701, 2703, 2705 and 2710, and Coulisse's Santos as dual sided; every other screen in the book has a face and a back. It is worth choosing one where the shade is on show from both sides: an exposed roll on Decor hardware, or a tower where the association wants every window uniform from the street. It changes nothing about glare or heat, which come from the openness and the colour.
How are Heritage screens cleaned?
By the method Crestron's guide gives for each design. The Mermet screens and SheerWeave 8000 take a duster or a vacuum; the other SheerWeave designs, Infinity 2 included, a soft damp cloth; and the Coulisse screens, Esprit, Emma, Santos and Grant, a damp cloth. Each design page prints the method in its facts block, next to the composition and ratings.
