Soft fabric vanes on a single track that rotate for privacy and part as you walk through, made to measure for sliding doors and wide windows.
VersaDrape is a product made of soft fabric vanes hanging from a single track. Turn the wand and the vanes rotate, from open for light to closed for privacy. Nothing ties them together at the bottom, so you can walk straight through. We measure, supply and fit it as part of our custom curtains in Sydney.
VersaDrape lets you walk through when drawn, because its fabric vanes hang free at the bottom and part around you.
On a sliding or stacker door, a curtain or blind must be opened every time someone goes outside. Family rooms want light control without losing the view. Pets and children push at ordinary curtains and pull them off their tracks.
So people look for a solution for sliding doors that operates like a vertical blind, with the added benefit of curtain-like softness. The closest familiar product is fabric vertical blinds, usually linked at the bottom. Think of it as a curtain-blind hybrid.
Each vane, a hanging strip of fabric, sits on its own carrier on one track, and a wand turns them together.
The stack back is the space the drawn vanes take up at the side.

Sheer vanes filter daylight and soften glare. Turned open, they keep your view; turned closed, they blur the view in by day. This product is best viewed (by appointment) at our showroom to get a full perspective of how it operates.

Opaque vanes use a denser fabric, so they give more privacy when turned closed. They suit doors and wide windows facing the street. Compare the fabric samples in your own light at the measure.

The vanes part as you pass and fall back into line, so the curtain stays closed.
One wand turns every vane together, like a vertical blind, from open to angled to closed.
Turned open, the vanes soften the glare while you still see the garden.
Families with busy sliding doors share how it copes with daily traffic, how it looks and how the install went.
Every VersaDrape is measured, made to your opening and fitted on its track, starting with a free measure and quote or showroom demo.

VersaDrape is turned with a wand, and each vane can be removed for cleaning. Your consultant confirms how your track operates.
To clean, lift the removable vanes off their carriers and follow the care label, whether that is a hand wash or dry cleaning.
The price depends on your opening, the fabric and whether you add a motor. Every quote is measured and written. Three things raise it:
VersaDrape is a product made of fabric vanes on a single track. The vanes rotate like a vertical blind, from open for light to closed for privacy, and part like a curtain as you walk through.
No. VersaDrape vanes are soft fabric and hang free at the bottom, so you can walk through them, open or closed. A vertical blind usually has stiffer vanes linked at the bottom.
Yes. You can walk through the door with the vanes open or closed, and they stack to the side to clear the opening completely. The how it works section above shows each position.
It depends on the vane position. Closed vanes give privacy, but open vanes let people see in when your lights are on. If you also need a dark room, look at our blockout curtains.
Yes. The vanes are not joined at the bottom, so they part as you pass and fall back into line behind you. You never need to touch the wand to get through.
The cost depends on the width and drop of your opening and the vane fabric. Every quote is measured and written, and sets out what the price includes.
Each vane lifts off its carrier, so you can wash one at a time. Follow the care label supplied with your curtain, then hang the vane back on its carrier.
No. If motorisation is important to you, blinds or curtains are a better option.
