Tensioned Shades Control Solar Light Infiltration at Any Angle in Any Direction

These two Guthrie Douglas tensioned shades introduced by Draper, Inc., promise solar control at any angle, in any direction, anywhere. The Tess 140 (pictured) can be installed at any angle thanks to a single barrel tensioning mechanism that keeps the fabric panel under constant tension. Nearly invisible wire guides blend into the glazing surround for a nearly invisible solution for skylights, atria, and other openings up to 157 inches wide.

The Tess 660’s Sidelock system keeps the fabric in place and eliminates light gaps. The single barrel drive mechanism keeps the fabric under tension for smooth, ultra-quiet operation with no hem bar jams. It provides blackout capability up to 118 inches wide, either inside or outside. Choose from unlimited RAL color powder coat finishes and a wide range of fabrics for either model.
