FlexShade ZIP, Draper

This weather-resistant motorized window shade provides both shading and design flexibility.


Reducing solar heat and glare is important for energy conservation, but shading systems usually focus on practicality first and design considerations second. FlexShade ZIP from Draper comes in a range of weather-resistant fabrics—many of which are Greenguard Gold certified—that can be coordinated with the company’s interior and exterior shades. Installed on the outside-facing side of the glass, the motorized shade is wind-tunnel tested up to 90 mph without failure or damage and is compatible with building automation systems. draperinc.com
