Phifer SheerWeave RE-USE Fabric
24 colourways, openness 1%, 3%, 5%, solar screen, up to 118 inches wide. Every swatch and every published specification, from the workroom that cuts Phifer in Fort Lauderdale and installs it from Miami to Palm Beach.
85% REPREVE recycled polyester, three openness factors, 118 inches
SheerWeave RE-USE is woven from 85% REPREVE recycled polyester with 15% virgin polyester, with no vinyl in the published composition. It comes at 1%, 3% and 5% openness in a single width of 118 inches, at 10.4 to 11.6 oz per square yard and about 0.022 to 0.026 inches thick, with UV blockage of 99%, 97% and 95%. Phifer lists GREENGUARD Gold, RoHS and REACH compliance and the ANSI/WCMA A100.1 lead-content standard, along with fire listings under NFPA 701 TM#1 and TM#2, California Title 19 and BFD IX-1.
The eight colours read like a classic screen card rather than a sustainability line: White, White/Linen, White/Pearl, Grey, Bronze, Black/Grey, Black/Bronze and Black. Visible transmission runs from 0% in Black and Black/Bronze up to 18% at the open end of the card, and solar reflectance from 3% in Black to 75% in White, which is one of the widest reflectance spans in the library. The two-tone Whites and Blacks give the same face-and-back logic as the fiberglass cards, so a room can take a pale interior face over a darker back. There is no Microban additive on this style; Phifer lists the ASTM G21 test method.

Tv = visible light transmitted, Ts = solar energy transmitted, Rs = solar energy reflected, As = solar energy absorbed, in percent, as published by Phifer for the fabric on its own. SHGC single = solar heat gain coefficient of the fabric behind single 1/4 in clear glass (1/8 in where that is what Phifer publishes), SHGC insul. = behind 1 in insulating glass with a high-performance coating (1/2 in clear where published). Exterior SunTex and SunScreen figures are for the fabric installed outside the glass at a 30 degree profile angle. We bring the sample books to the consultation.
Where SheerWeave RE-USE works here
When a Miami or Fort Lauderdale project has a recycled-content line in the specification, this is the fabric that satisfies it without looking like a compromise. White/Linen at 3% on an Intracoastal wall behaves like any other pale screen, and at 118 inches most sliders still come out as one shade. The absence of a Microban additive is worth a sentence at the consultation if the room is a bathroom or sits directly on the water.
SheerWeave RE-USE: frequently asked
What is REPREVE?
The recycled polyester fiber Phifer names in the composition of this fabric: 85% of the yarn, with 15% virgin polyester. It is the only Phifer shade fabric in this library with a published recycled content figure.
How does it compare to SheerWeave 8000?
Both are vinyl-free polyester. 8000 is 3% only, lighter, Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze and needs heat cutting; RE-USE gives three openness factors, a two-tone colour card and 118 inches. If the brief says recycled content, RE-USE; if it says certification, 8000.
How wide can a Phifer SheerWeave RE-USE shade be?
Phifer publishes standard roll widths of 118" (300 cm) for SheerWeave RE-USE, so a single shade can run to about 118 inches wide before a seam or a second shade is needed. Wider openings are covered with two shades on one headrail programmed to move together, or with a seam placed where the mullion hides it. We confirm the exact limit for the chosen system when we measure.
Which shades can be made in SheerWeave RE-USE?
SheerWeave RE-USE is a roller shade fabric. We source it directly from Phifer, so the same weave goes on Lutron, Somfy, Crestron or Vertilux motors or a manual chain, cut and finished in our Fort Lauderdale workroom and installed by our own team from Miami to Palm Beach.
Is SheerWeave RE-USE PVC-free?
Phifer's published composition for SheerWeave RE-USE is 85% REPREVE® Recycled Polyester, 15% Virgin Polyester: no vinyl and no PVC in the yarn or the coating, with GREENGUARD Gold, RoHS, REACH, ANSI/WCMA A100.1 lead content listed.
Can I see SheerWeave RE-USE samples before ordering?
Yes. We keep the Phifer sample books in the Fort Lauderdale workroom (4539 Powerline Rd, by appointment) and the Miami Beach showroom (500 South Pointe Dr #150), and we bring the colours you shortlist to the in-home consultation so you can hold them against your glass in your own light.
