Draper® has manufactured window shading solutions since 1902. Our advanced solutions reflect sunlight and heat and reduce or eliminate glare. We work with architects and designers on flexible and scalable solutions for interior, exterior, and dual facade applications that allow you to control natural light, manage solar heat gain, reduce energy costs, and improve employee productivity and comfort. 

The Perfect fabric

We work with American weavers Phifer and Mermet U.S.A. to provide domestically sourced solutions. We also tailor one-of-a-kind solutions to your specific building need. Draper® offers an unmatched spectrum of beautiful and functional fabric colors and styles to solve any performance or aesthetic challenge. Woven mesh fabrics protect against heat, glare, and UV rays, while maintaining a view. Soft, translucent textiles offer designer appeal. Opaque fabrics eliminate visible light and provide privacy.

Productivity

The Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics at Carnegie Mellon University looked at the impact of daylighting on productivity and recorded 40 percent gains. We’ll help you design an integral shading strategy to maximize these gains and minimize negative impacts of glare and heat gain.

Saving energy

Daylighting reduces the need for artificial lighting, and in the winter brings in solar radiation to help heat the building. The right solar control solution helps reduce reliance on HVAC in the summer by cutting solar heat gain, and in the winter by helping retain building heat on cloudy days.

Operation and control

Draper® shading systems are designed to work in any control scenario. From simple wall switches to manual bead chain clutch operation to remote operation, to automated glare control and building operating systems, we will design a control package to allow you to get the most of the shading systems’ capabilities.

Knowledge

We’ve been manufacturing window shades since 1902. A lot has changed since then. We’ve spent millions of dollars on the latest computerized cutting and seaming equipment and training to produce high quality, high performing solutions. Our approximately 700 employees bring almost 8,000 years of collective experience to every project.

Quality workmanship

Our solutions are designed and built to endure the toughest conditions. We assemble, visually inspect, and operate every product before it leaves the factory to make sure it meets our high-quality standards.
