What is SmartDrape?
SmartDrape is one of Norman's most distinctive products — soft fabric vanes that hang vertically, giving you a curtain-like look with full light control built in. Glide the wand to open them. Twist the wand and the vanes rotate from sheer through to light-filtering or room-darkening — all in one shade.
They're designed for big openings — sliding doors, expansive windows, anything up to 7 metres wide. Walk straight through them. Kids and pets move freely. The summer breeze passes through. And the vanes are machine washable — most curtains aren't.

Norman · Soft fabric vanes
Hang like curtains, function like blinds. Walk straight through them with kids, pets, or a summer breeze. The fundamental design difference that makes SmartDrape feel completely unlike a vertical blind.

Norman · Twist the wand
Rotate from full sheer through to light-filtering or room-darkening — without changing the blind. A single wand gives you four or five distinct light moods in the same window across the day.

Norman · Up to 7 metres wide
Designed for expansive sliding doors and windows. The biggest openings, the cleanest finish — no extra brackets, no centre joins, no compromises. The product to specify when nothing else will span the space.

Norman · Machine washable vanes
Pop them off, throw them in the wash. Most curtains can't do this — yours can. Particularly worth specifying in beach houses, holiday rentals, or any home where the vanes are going to see real life.

Norman · Cordless design
No chains, no cords. Family-safe, pet-safe, no exposed hardware. The standard configuration — and one of the reasons SmartDrape looks cleaner than most vertical alternatives.

Norman · Stack options
Stack left, right, or part to either side. Tailored to how you actually use the room — open from the kitchen side, close from the living side, whichever suits the traffic flow of the house.

Norman · Motorisation
Voice control, app, or remote. Removable rechargeable battery — no electrician needed. Particularly useful for very wide installations where manual operation is genuinely tiring across multiple openings per day.

Norman · Coordinates with PerfectSheer
Matching fabrics in the PerfectSheer shade range — run one consistent look across your whole home, room to room. Useful when you want SmartDrape on the big openings and matching sheer shades on the standard windows.
Official Norman partner Exclusive agent in the Port Stephens area Why we use Norman
As part of Carpet Court — the largest flooring and window furnishing network in Australia — we can get our hands on just about any product, brand or manufacturer you're after, at pricing that's hard to beat anywhere else. So if you've seen something specific, chances are we can supply it.
But here's where I'll be straight with you. I've been installing and selling shutters and blinds for over 20 years, and I've never seen quality like Norman's. The innovation in their materials and the way their products operate is just next level — nothing else comes close. So for anything Norman makes, Norman is what we recommend and push, every time.
For years I bought Norman through a wholesaler, like a lot of local companies did. When Norman came to Australia direct, I chased them down to deal with them directly — and jumped at the chance to become their exclusive agent in the area. I've never looked back.
The proof is in the warranty. Norman backs everything with a no-questions-asked warranty that's frankly unheard of in this industry. But I hardly ever need it — genuine faults are rare. Nearly every "warranty" call turns out to be accidental damage, and even then we usually fix it on the spot, or Norman replaces it free.
So you get the best of both: the range and buying power of Australia's biggest network, and our honest pick of the best product on the market. I won't push something I don't believe in — and I believe in Norman.
