Bottom-Up FlexShades

Unlike traditional window shades, Draper’s patent pending Bottom-Up FlexShade™ provides privacy without eliminating natural daylight. Draper’s new Bottom-Up FlexShade utilizes natural daylighting to its fullest extent, while protecting work surfaces near the windows from harsh glare and excess heat. The window shade rises from a roller at the bottom of the unit. It blocks the sun’s rays at the bottom of the window, while allowing daylight to pass comfortably above people and objects adjacent to the window. By reducing glare and heat, the Bottom-Up FlexShade promotes a comfortable work or living environment. The draw cables that lift the shade fabric are under even and constant tension, allowing for easy operation of the shade. This lifts the shade fabric evenly and securely.
