Homeowner innovations company, Draper, to unveil fresh outdoor solutions at CEDIA Expo.
Draper At Home is set to revolutionise outdoor living with its new range of shading products, set to be showcased at the CEDIA Expo 2025 from September 3-6 in Denver. The new offerings, including the FlexShade ZIP 127 and ZIP XL models with solar panels and the Bond Weather Station, promise to deliver improved performance, convenience, and luxury.
According to Clint Childress, market director - residential at Draper At Home, these upgrades provide dealers with additional tools for upselling. "Our new outdoor shades are designed to give customers the luxury of outdoor living without the hassle of complicated installation or maintenance," he said.
One of the key benefits of the new products is their power-free installation. The shades use quiet, rechargeable battery-powered motors that are continuously powered by solar energy, eliminating the need for digging or wiring. This simplifies and speeds up installation, making it easier for dealers to offer these solutions to their customers.
The battery motors are also compatible with smart home systems via Bond Bridge Pro, allowing for remote and automated control. The Bond Weather Station, which is integrated with the new outdoor shade products, monitors real-time weather conditions to ensure the shades adjust appropriately, protecting outdoor spaces and enhancing comfort.
The FlexShade ZIP 127 and ZIP XL models with solar panels are particularly noteworthy for their innovative design. The solar panels maintain power to the motors, enabling quiet, reliable shade movement without the need for external power.
The new solutions will be exhibited at Destination Outdoors, located outside and across the street from the show's main entrance. Dealers are encouraged to visit Destination Outdoors to experience the luxury of Draper At Home outdoor shades firsthand.
The broader market trend towards motorised outdoor shades for comfort, energy efficiency, and integrated smart home control indicates rising consumer demand in this category. The CEDIA Expo 2025 offers a unique opportunity for dealers to learn more about the latest in outdoor shading and smart home connectivity, and to carry the message of luxury outdoor living back to their own customers.
