Product Details about SmartDrape Shades

  • SmartDrape™ was specifically designed to perform beautifully on wide openings where traditional solutions often fall short.

    Key advantages include:

    • Smooth, effortless operation across large spans

    • Individual fabric vanes that flex and recover their shape

    • Easy walk-through access for sliding doors

    • No rigid slats to bend or break

    Unlike traditional vertical blinds, SmartDrape™ maintains a soft, elegant appearance while standing up to frequent use.

  • SmartDrape™ allows you to adjust light and privacy by rotating or drawing the fabric vanes.

    Options include:

    • Soft, filtered daylight

    • Adjustable privacy throughout the day

    • Room-darkening fabric options for added control

    This makes it easy to manage changing light conditions common throughout the day in Middle Tennessee homes.

  • Absolutely! Each vane can be individually removed and washed in your machine in a garment bag.

    Don’t put them in the dryer though; just let them airdry and hang back up!

  • Yes! We can order extra SmartDrape™ vanes, and we recommend doing so at the time of original order to maintain consistent dye lot and fabric. If a particular vane gets damaged or overly soiled, just unclip it and replace it!

  • SmartDrape™ is especially well suited for Nashville-area homes because it balances style, durability, and comfort in spaces with abundant natural light. With many homes featuring large windows, open layouts, and patio doors, SmartDrape™ provides soft light control while handling everyday use with ease.
