Norman® SmartDrape™ Shades: A Modern Twist on Vertical Blinds

If you’re looking for a sheer, modern take on traditional vertical blinds, then you will love Norman® SmartDrape™ Shades. Engineered with innovation in mind, these vertically-oriented shades allow you to seamlessly transition from softly patterned sheer material to solid fabric in seconds for ultimate light control and privacy. These shades also feature a beautiful combination of sheer and fabric vanes that undulate for a graceful floating effect.

Another perk? These shades operate via the simple slide of a control wand—no cords needed! When set to the sheer side, these shades provide clear views while delivering a soft, diffused light. When closed, the fabric vanes of these shades will filter light or darken the room, depending on the fabric you select. 

Alta Sheer Shadings: A Soft, Classic Style

If you want to bring timeless elegance to the window, consider Alta Sheer Shadings. Featuring opaque fabric vanes suspended between two layers of sheer material, these shades offer a delicate, layered look that is both inviting and visually dynamic.

One of the biggest perks of Alta Sheer Shadings is how they beautifully balance light and privacy. During the day, simply tilt the vanes open to enjoy your views while maintaining privacy. At night, tilt the vanes closed for unparalleled privacy assured. Plus, with a wide range of fabrics and colors to choose from, these shades can be customized to suit your home’s unique style.

True to their name, these shades offer a streamlined look that’s ideal for contemporary homes by rolling up or down for effortless operation. Meanwhile, the screen fabrics allow you to
