(Spiceland, Ind.) – Motorized and battery powered window shades are a great solution for glare control and privacy. But for some windows, motorization doesn’t make sense. Windows that are too narrow for motors, or located where they are seldom if ever used, are better suited for manual shades. And with the all-new Draper At Home UpLift shades, you can have easy and safe manual operation without cords or chains!
The cordless design eliminates the risk of entanglement for children and pets. Traditional manual shades often have cords, which can pose a safety hazard.
The self-retracting mechanism of UpLift shades allows effortless operation. You can easily adjust the shades to your desired position with a simple hand motion, unlike manual shades that require more effort and precision. They are designed for easy maintenance, requiring only occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best.
The advanced design of UpLift shades aligns with modern design trends, offering a convenient and user-friendly experience. UpLift shades come in a variety of colors, fabrics, and finishes, allowing you to tailor them to your specific decor and preferences. FlexStyle, FlexStyle Cassette, and FlexShade hardware options are available with Uplift. And since Uplift shades use all Draper At Home hardware and don’t use cords or chains, they look just like our motorized and battery shades.
