FlexShade Ascend

Draper is not accepting orders for the Ascend at this time.

FlexShade Ascend provides a cordless window shade that operates smoothly and features easy-to-install brackets. No hanging cords or bead chains enhance aesthetics and help eliminate concerns about child safety. To raise the shade, simply touch the bottom of the hem bar lightly; to lower it, give a gentle tug. Adjusting the spring tension is straightforward and doesn't necessitate removing the shade from the window. An optional Pull-Down Wand can be ordered to reach inaccessible shades.

ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 Child Safety Standard

Effective June 1, 2024, in compliance with the updated ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 child safety standard, all Draper window shades operated by a bead chain will be furnished with a tensioned hold-down device that is permanently attached and partially disables the product if not installed correctly. This hold-down should be installed with tension on the chain.

All bead chain operated window shades will include:

Permanently installed spring-loaded tensioned hold-down device
Approved permanent warning label attached
Approved mechanical fasteners for the tension device included. Screws provided are not suitable for all mounting surfaces. The installer is responsible for secure mounting using appropriate hardware for the site conditions. Consult with contractors and builders as needed.

If the tension device is not installed with appropriate tension on the bead chain, the shade will be rendered partially inoperable. If installed properly, the tension device will prevent the creation of a hazardous loop and will maintain tension on the bead chain.
