As a Draper dealer on the Outer Banks, we work closely with homeowners throughout Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and Manteo to design shading systems that meet the demands of coastal light, heat, and lifestyle.
From manual shades to fully integrated smart shading systems, Draper offers flexible solutions tailored to your space.
Draper Window Shade Solutions
Draper specializes in custom roller-style shading systems designed to manage light, heat, and privacy for both indoors and outside.
Draper Indoor Window Shades
Draper indoor shades are ideal for controlling glare, protecting furnishings, and enhancing comfort without sacrificing views.
These shades are commonly used in:
- Living rooms and great rooms
- Bedrooms and media spaces
- Home offices
- Condos or Oceanfront Homes with large expanses of glass
Available fabric options include light-filtering, room-darkening, and solar screen materials, allowing you to fine-tune how much light enters your space throughout the day.
Draper Outdoor & Exterior Shades
Draper’s outdoor and exterior shades are built to reduce solar heat gain and glare. Designed to perform in demanding environments, these shades stand up to harsh coastal conditions like salt and sand.
Outdoor applications include:
- Covered porches and patios
- Sunrooms and screened enclosures
- Windows exposed to direct sun
- Transitional indoor-outdoor living spaces
Outdoor shades help keep interiors cooler, protect furnishings, and create more usable outdoor living areas, especially valuable on the Outer Banks.
Shade Operation Options
Draper offers both manual and motorized shade operation options, giving you flexibility based on window size, placement, and lifestyle needs.
Motorized Shade Systems
Motorized Draper shades provide smooth, quiet operation and are ideal for:
- Tall or hard-to-reach windows
- Wide glass walls
- Multi-shade rooms
- Smart home integration
Motorization allows for scheduling, grouping, and remote operation that enhance the comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency of your home.
Manual Shade Controls
Manual shade control options include clutch and pull systems designed for durability and ease of use. These are a practical solution for smaller windows or spaces where motorization is not necessary.
Draper Shade Hardware & Enclosure Styles
Draper’s strength lies in its hardware flexibility, allowing shades to blend seamlessly into any design aesthetic. With different enclosure styles you can design the look and feel of your window treatments to match the style of your home.
Open Roll Systems
Open Roll shade systems offer a clean, minimal look where the roller is visible. The design is ideal for modern interiors and spaces where simplicity is preferred.
You can enhance the open roll look with upgraded hardware such as brackets and finishes, turning the shade mechanism into a design feature.
Fascia Systems
Fascia Systems offer a sleek metal valance to conceal the roller for a more finished appearance while maintaining a streamlined profile.
Headbox & Recessed Mounting
Headbox and recessed mounting methods are used with many Draper models to integrate shades into ceilings or architectural pockets. The system offers a near-invisible finish when the shade is raised.
Cassette Shade Systems
Cassette Shade Systems are fully enclosed to protect the fabric and hardware while delivering a polished, refined appearance. The look is ideal for high-end interiors and coastal homes.
Custom Shade Fabrics & Color Matching
Draper offers an exceptional level of design flexibility with its Custom Fabric and Color Matching program, allowing your window shades to blend seamlessly into your home’s interior design.
If you are coordinating with a specific wall color, cabinetry finish, upholstery fabric, or brand palette, Draper can custom-match select shade fabrics to meet your exact vision. This makes Draper an ideal solution for design-driven homes, luxury interiors, and coastal properties where cohesive color palettes matter.
Draper’s custom fabric capabilities also make it easier to align window shades with broader design plans, ensuring consistency across finishes, furnishings, and architectural details. Their level of customization ensures your shades become a natural extension of your space, not a visual afterthought.
Shade Control & Communication Technologies
Draper shades support a wide range of control and communication options. This makes shades easy to integrate into existing or future smart home systems.
Some models (particularly for outdoor shades) even have a solar panel option, which brings energy-efficient automation to outdoor living spaces with a quiet DC motor and built-in battery. No wiring to your home’s electrical system is needed.
Zigbee Communication is ideal for smart home environments, allowing shades to communicate seamlessly with compatible automation platforms.
The RS485 is a reliable wired communication option often used in structured systems and multi-shade installations.
By using wireless controls, Real-Time Strategy (RTS) Radio Frequency offers dependable operation without visible wiring for smart control of your shades. Input methods and interface commands can be used to simultaneously control your shades throughout your home.
Draper offers traditional, hardwired solutions such as wall controls to offer consistent performance and clean aesthetics for your window treatments.
Through Radio Frequency (RF), handheld or wall-mounted remotes can provide intuitive control over individual shades or grouped zones.
