Composition
The Verishades are made from 100% high-quality polyester, a durable and long-lasting material that offers exceptional strength and performance. Polyester is known for its resilience, ability to resist fading, and ease of maintenance, making it a practical choice for window coverings in both residential and commercial spaces.
While Verishades are exclusively crafted from polyester, there are no natural fibre options available in this product line.
UV Protection
The Verishades are designed with a UV Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+, offering outstanding protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This high UPF rating ensures that the shades block more than 98% of UV radiation, significantly reducing the risk of sun damage to your interiors and protecting you from the harmful effects of prolonged sun exposure.
Track Space Requirements

The single track design of the Verishades is specifically engineered to optimise space and streamline installation, making it an ideal choice for homes and commercial spaces where efficiency is a priority. This sleek and minimalist track system eliminates the need for multiple tracks, reducing visual clutter and allowing for a cleaner, more organised appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Veri Shades combine vertical blinds with sheer curtains. They feature alternating opaque and sheer fabric panels that can adjust light levels while maintaining airflow and privacy.
Veri Shades operate using a simple twist wand mechanism. You can:
- Turn the wand one way for opaque fabric to block light and ensure privacy.
- Turn it the other way for sheer fabric to let light in.
- Open the folds partially for filtered light.
- Draw the shades back like curtains for a full view.
Motorised options are also available for added convenience. You can read Veri Shades reviews to learn more about how they work.
Yes! VeriShades are great for large openings and can span up to 6 metres. The soft fabric folds create a seamless and stylish look for wide spaces.
Yes, VeriShades are designed to sway easily when walked through, whether open or closed. The fabric folds settle back perfectly, making them practical for high-traffic areas.
Yes, Veri Shades help regulate indoor temperatures by blocking heat and UV rays during summer and retaining warmth in winter.
The Veri Shades price list depends on several factors, including the size of your windows, the type of fabric, and any additional features like motorisation. As a premium window furnishing, Veri Shades offer exceptional value with their combination of elegance, functionality, and durability.
SmartDrape has an elegant, soft fold design that mirrors drapery, offering a high level of style and sophistication. It features individual vanes that can be rotated to control light levels. It is ideal for larger windows, doors, and spaces where ease of access is key, as the vanes allow you to walk through the shade whether it’s open or closed.
Veri Shades, on the other hand, combines the softness of curtains with the versatility of blinds. They are made from alternating opaque folds and mesh fabrics, offering excellent privacy and light filtering, while allowing you to adjust light levels with a simple twist of the wand.
In essence, they are a very similar product. Both are relatively new products to the window furnishings industry. In our experienced opinion, the Smart Drape offers smoother operation, is a neater and sleeker design and the motorisation is much smoother. The SmartDrape product comes with a 15 year warranty, whereas the Verishades product has a 10 year warranty.
Verishade has a wider range of fabrics including styles/prints on the sheer part of the fabric, and the Verishade track can be curved.
Verishades are made locally for Aurora Designs, whereas the SmartDrape product is imported into Canberra.
