A CLEANER MESH SOLUTION

Ricky Richards has been the exclusive supplier of Outlook mesh fabrics in the window furnishing industry for over twenty-five years. Partnering with Phifer Incorporated, Ricky Richards and its team from Tuscaloosa, Alabama created the brand Outlook to fill a gap in the Australian mesh market.

Fast forward to 2022, all Outlook mesh fabrics are manufactured by Phifer Inc. using Dow Ecolibrium™ biobased plasticisers in their formulation, allowing the Outlook range to be a cleaner option. The many benefits of this mesh include a reduction to greenhouse gas emissions and with 98 percent of the plasticisers derived from non-fossil fuel feed stock, that means up to 0.0980 litres of petroleum is saved with every square metre of Outlook mesh purchased. Customers of Outlook mesh fabrics will be contributing to making this world more environmental conscious for years to come.

As well as being made using Dow Ecolibrium™ bio-based plasticisers, Outlook mesh fabrics are Greenguard® Gold Certified, ensuring that the fabrics have met some of the world's most rigorous and comprehensive standards for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air.

As demand increases for fabrics that offer a cleaner and more sustainable feature, the team at Ricky Richards are excited that they have the Outlook range in their portfolio.

Outlook mesh fabrics will reflect up to 95 percent of solar energy while still allowing air to pass through, helping to create a cooler, more comfortable environment naturally. They are available in three types of openness: 1 percent, 5 percent and 12 percent and a fourth option: Mode Zero a 0 percent openness with a 100 percent visual blockout mesh. Outlook Mode, Mode Privacy & Mode Zero ranges are also printable fabrics, which are great for any setting. Colours include a selection inspired by Colorbond® which means fabrics can match any existing outdoor theme and are supported by a full 10-year warranty.
