SmartDrape, done with care. Measured and fitted locally.
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.
