Shades of LEED®
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green
Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus based program
developed by the USGBC for developing high-performance buildings.
LEED provides a complete framework for accessing building
performance and meeting sustainability goals. Based on a system of
prerequisites and credits, LEED registered projects earn points and
then are awarded one of the four certification levels.
Draper FlexShades should be an important part of your next LEED
project. Draper has several LEED® AP certified staff members to help
with your projects and answer questions.
Draper’s most recent white paper, Shades of LEED, provides an in-
depth explanation of how our solar control shading systems can
contribute to LEED points and credits. This document was prepared
by an independent expert on the LEED rating system and intended
design strategy. The white paper describes the benefits of Draper
FlexShades and reviews the specific LEED points and credits to which
they can contribute. Shades of LEED is a must-read for anyone who is
working toward LEED certification for a project.

Custom Shading
Each FlexShade product is built to order.
Fabric, hardware and operating
mechanisms are specified to satisfy
functional and aesthetic criteria—Draper
builds each unit for an exacting fit.
Draper offers the broadest variety of
operator styles in the industry. Options
include bead chain clutch, crank, spring
roller, motorized roller-operated shades,
and manual and motorized Roman
shades.
Our spectrum of fabric colors and styles
is unmatched. Woven mesh fabrics offer
protection from heat, glare and UV rays,
while maintaining the view. Soft
translucent textiles offer designer appeal.
And our opaque fabrics eliminate all
visible light. Combine them with a
LightBloc System, and you will
achieve total blackout. All fabrics are
fire retardant.

Motorized FlexShade Dimensions
Maximum bundle diameter dictates the size of headbox
with endcaps, fascia with endcaps, and standard brackets,
which is governed by the size of shade and choice of fabric.
Consult DRAPER to determine which size is required for your
installation. Hardware details shown on page 16.

Spring-Roller Shade
Simplicity of design, durable materials and careful workmanship make
Draper Spring-Roller Shades America’s first choice for institutional-
quality light control and room darkening shades.
• Designed specifically for institutional use.
• Manufactured to endure the toughest conditions.
• Spring-Roller Shades are offered in a wide range of room darkening
and woven mesh fabrics.
Spring-Roller Shades with SB9000 at the Hoosier Gym, home court location
for the movie “Hoosiers”, Knightstown, IN. Installation: Fred Mann, New
Castle, IN. Photography: Wayne Williams, Indianapolis, IN.
Optional Fascia
Available with an attractive aluminum fascia to conceal hardware and
roller. See pag
Exclusive Features
• Spring Roller
Traditional window shade operation. Metal
rollers and heavy-duty springs operate any
shade through  wide x  high.
• Large Diameter Institutional Metal Rollers
All shades are mounted on rigid steel rollers that house heavy-duty
springs. Our ball-bearing style locking mechanism operates more
smoothly than other devices on the market. Spring mechanism can be
replaced easily in the field.
• Fabric Attachment
Fabric is attached to roller with an industrial
adhesive, designed to withstand high
temperatures and moisture. This adhesive
attachment eliminates drilling or unsightly
fasteners and gives a strong, permanent bond
that leaves a smooth, attractive surface. Virtually eliminates laddering.
• Heat Seamed
Hems are heat seamed for added strength,
which prevent hems from unraveling
and tearing.
• Kiln-Dried Hard Maple Slats
Indiana hard rock maple, ⅞, 1¼ or ½, at our
discretion. Ten times stronger than pine slats. No
“finger joints”.
• White Cord
Hard braided large diameter cotton cord, at-
tached to slat with screweye and cord clasp.
Screweye doesn’t weaken slat like punched
eyelet holes on shades of lesser quality.
• Each Shade Individually Tested
Every Draper shade is individually tested before
shipment for perfect operation.
• Heavy-Duty Cadmium-Plated Hardware
Heavy plated steel hardware.
