At Shade Factor, sustainability is integral to every aspect of our work – from product performance and material selection to packaging, logistics and long-term building outcomes. Representing leading European brands including Warema, Caravita and Blindspace, we deliver sun shading systems that support environmentally responsible design and contribute to the energy efficiency, comfort and longevity of the built environment.
Our shading solutions are engineered to reduce solar heat gain, optimise daylight and limit the need for mechanical cooling – delivering measurable energy savings while enhancing thermal and visual comfort. Across residential and commercial applications, our systems support long-term building performance and align with key sustainability frameworks, including Green Star, NABERS, BASIX, NatHERS and WELL.
Warema leads in sustainable sun shading. Manufactured in Germany under ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and ISO 50001, Warema systems combine high environmental standards with engineering precision. Their building physics tools support early-stage modelling of daylight and energy performance – enabling better façade design and more efficient buildings. Products are designed for longevity, using repairable components and recyclable materials that contribute to a circular economy.
Caravita applies the same principles of durability and responsibility to its high-quality shade structures. Built with premium materials and designed for maintenance and component replacement, their products minimise waste and extend service life.
Blindspace, specialists in concealed blind solutions, manufacture under ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management). Their aluminium supply chain is powered by significant renewable energy, including wind and solar, with expansion ongoing. Products are available in ALUearth, a low-carbon primary aluminium (4.0 kg CO₂/kg), or ALUearth+, made from at least 95% remelted aluminium – further reducing embodied emissions.
Sustainability extends beyond product specification. At Shade Factor, we use recycled, biodegradable materials where possible in packaging, optimise logistics to minimise emissions, and work closely with architects, builders and façade consultants to refine systems to suit each project. Select products are fabricated locally, supporting reduced transport emissions and delivery tailored to Australian conditions. Backed by global innovation and local expertise, we deliver high-performance sun shading solutions that enhance building performance and support better environmental outcomes.
