Exterior Crank-Operated FlexShade

Product Description

The Exterior Crank-Operated FlexShade window shade’s crank handle provides added security by limiting unauthorized persons from operating shades. The crank offers precision control for quick and easy adjustments to raise or lower window shade(s) to exact desired height. These shades mount directly over the outside of your windows with the choice of side channels or cable guides to keep the fabric in place. Exterior shades provide maximum solar heat gain reduction because they reflect heat before it enters the building. This creates a more comfortable indoor workspace for restaurants or commercial settings.

ANSI/WCMA A100.1 Compliance

If clutch-operated roller shades are installed in an environment where it's possible that young children will be present, they should comply with ANSI/WCMA A100.1, the Standard for Safety of Window Coverings.

If the shades that you purchase need to comply with this standard, it is your responsibility to inform Draper and opt-in to receive compliant products at time of order.

Compliant window shades will include:

Pre-installed spring-loaded chain tension device with bead chain threaded through it
Approved permanent warning label attached
Approved mechanical fasteners for the tension device included

If the tension device is not installed properly, or becomes unattached from the mounting surface, 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. The tension device and label require tools to be removed.
