What Cascade Coil does

Cascade Coil Drapery, Inc. is a Tualatin, Oregon-based manufacturer founded in 1987 that produces coiled wire fabric using a proprietary corkscrew interlocking method, selling through four product divisions under the registered Fabricoil, GuardianCoil, and Phantom Mesh brand names. The Architectural division supplies custom and pre-engineered systems (including certified blast and projectile protection) to architects and contractors; the Industrial Safety and Security division provides OSHA-compliant GuardianCoil press guards, machine safety barriers, and blast curtains to manufacturers and equipment dealers; the Zoological division is described as the world's only manufacturer of high-transparency Phantom Mesh zoo enclosures; and the Home Decor division sells fireplace screens, window treatments, shower curtains, and patio screens through an e-commerce site and a dedicated Fireplace OEM channel.

The company's underlying platform is a single vertically integrated Tualatin manufacturing line that processes stainless steel, aluminum, steel, copper-clad steel, brass, copper, and bronze wire in multiple gauges and powder-coated finishes, paired with a family of engineered attachment systems (Secura Track, Borderline, Avenue, Express with Suspension Cables, Sleeve, Clamp, and Custom Curved Steel Angle with Hooks). These attachments support both operable and fixed configurations and can be delivered as pre-engineered unitized systems, which compress installation timelines for general contractors. Sustainability positioning includes Living Building Challenge Red List Free Declare labels, over 90% manufacturing waste recycling, wire sourced with up to 90% recycled scrap content, and in-progress AAMA 2605-13 verification.

The business operates a quote-based, project-driven revenue model with multi-year engagements and no public pricing. Go-to-market combines a direct field sales team of five named specialists covering the West Coast, Mid-Atlantic, and Texas with a dealer/distributor network, e-commerce for residential products, OEM partnerships for fireplaces, and specification relationships with tier-1 architecture firms (Olsen Kundig, SOM, Gensler, Perkins+Will, Walker Warner, CannonDesign). Marketing is anchored by division-specific microsites, Material Bank sampling, and earned media in architecture trade publications. No parent company, external funding, or public listing is disclosed.

Core offering

Cascade Coil Drapery, Inc. is a manufacturer of coiled wire fabric and engineered attachment hardware systems, made by interlocking coiled wire via a corkscrew method to form flexible metal mesh panels in stainless steel, aluminum, steel, copper-clad steel, brass, copper, and bronze. The company sells custom and pre-engineered systems to four end markets: Architectural (interior/exterior facades, partitions, ceilings, window treatments, scrims, solar shading, security gates, blast mitigation), Industrial Safety & Security (OSHA-compliant machine guards, hydraulic press guards, blast curtains), Zoological (Phantom Mesh high-transparency zoo enclosures), and Home Decor (fireplace screens, window treatments, shower curtains, patio screens, Airculator heat exchanger), plus a Fireplace OEM channel.

Product overview

Cascade Coil Drapery, Inc. operates a single unified manufacturing platform producing coiled wire fabric materials that are delivered to market through four distinct product divisions. The core manufacturing material (interlocked coiled wire fabric in various gauges, weaves, metals, and finishes) is branded and positioned differently across divisions: as Fabricoil® for the Architectural division (including Pre-Engineered Security Gates & Screens, Custom Architectural Systems, and Certified Blast & Projectile Protection Systems); as GuardianCoil® for the Industrial Safety & Security division (machine guards, press guards, debris protection); as Phantom Mesh® for the Zoological division (zoo enclosures and animal habitats); and as a residential product line for the Home Decor division (fireplace screens, shower curtains, patio screens, window treatments, plus the Airculator heat exchanger). Across all divisions, Cascade pairs its coiled wire fabric with a portfolio of engineered attachment systems (Secura Track, Borderline, Sleeve, Avenue, Express with Suspension Cables, Clamp, Custom Curved Steel Angle with Hooks, etc.) that are custom-specified for each project. The company is headquartered in Tualatin, Oregon and manufactures all products domestically in the USA since 1987.
