    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is SmartDrape™?
    SmartDrape™ is Norman's premium vertical sheer shading system — fabric vanes hang from a track and can be tilted open or closed for light control, then traversed across the window like drapery. It combines the elegance of fabric drapery with the function of horizontal blinds.
    How wide can SmartDrape™ go?
    Up to 280 inches — over 23 feet — using Norman's SmartJoint™ technology, which seamlessly connects two systems into one continuous span. That makes SmartDrape™ a strong fit for large sliding glass doors, corner walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass that no off-the-shelf shade can cover in a single piece.
    Can SmartDrape™ and PerfectSheer™ be motorized?
    Yes. Both products are available as cord-loop manual or fully motorized. Motorized versions integrate with Lutron, Somfy, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit, and can be scheduled or voice-controlled.
    Are SmartDrape™ vanes washable?
    Yes. SmartDrape™ vanes use 100% woven polyester fabric (not glued or sewn), which is removable and machine-washable. That makes SmartDrape™ unusually maintenance-friendly for a sheer shading product.
    How is PerfectSheer™ different from SmartDrape™?
    PerfectSheer™ is the horizontal version with vanes that tilt and lift like a traditional shade — best for standard rectangular windows up to 98" wide (cord loop) or 109" wide (motorized). SmartDrape™ is the vertical traversing version designed for sliding doors, wide spans, and tall openings. We bring samples of both to your in-home consultation so you can compare in your own light.
