Draper Adds Bottom-Up Units and FlexWave Light Shelf to FlexShade Line

November 28, 2013

(Spiceland, Ind.)– Draper’s Bottom-Up FlexShades allow you to enjoy the benefits of natural daylighting by letting in natural light at the top of the window. Occupants near windows are protected from uncomfortable glare and heat by shading the lower part of the window, while daylight is allowed to penetrate deeply into the room. The new Bottom-Up FlexShades are available with both manual and motorized operation. The manual, bead chain version features Draper’s exclusive, patent-pending spring assist mechanism to make it smooth and easy to operate. Draper’s FlexWave light shelf strengthens your daylighting strategy. Draper’s FlexWave protects occupants near the windows from heat and glare, while admitting natural light deeply into the room. The FlexWave light shelf is lightweight, easy to rotate down for cleaning, and easily installs even where there are no horizontal mullions. The curved shape bounces sunlight further into the building than traditional flat shelves. The FlexWave is an interior light shelf that installs as close as 16” to the ceiling, in either a continuous run or in single sections, and can be used above shades or other window coverings. Draper’s extensive new line includes venetian blinds for exterior, interior, and double façade use; rack arm louvers; tensioned fabric systems; stainless steel roller shades and shutters; and custom solutions designed to help make the best use of natural daylight while controlling heat and glare.
