Motorised Curtains For Bay Windows

About Motorised Curtains For Bay Windows

Create a look that works and curtains add elegance and refinement to interior spaces. They’re also functional, offering a degree of privacy and insulation while complementing any decor. However, opening and closing them manually can be challenging, especially for tall windows or those located behind furniture. Motorized drapery systems, like PowerView Automation by Hunter Douglas, eliminate this problem by automating curtain movements to open and close drapes in response to user commands, or automatically through custom schedules. They can even be controlled through smart integrations, including Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit.

How Do Motorized Curtain Tracks Work?

The core of a motorized curtain track system is an electric motor that either comes embedded in the curtain tracks or installed adjacent to them. When a command is given-via a remote control, wall switch or smart integration-the motor engages and drives the curtains using a pulley or belt system to open or close them. Some systems include light or temperature sensors to automate curtain movement based on environmental conditions.

Most motorized curtain track systems are designed for quiet operation, with advanced models using precision engineering to minimize noise. They’re also energy-efficient, consuming very little electricity when in use.

A range of corded and uncorded motorized tracks are available, including a ceiling recess fit version for bay windows. They can be bent by hand or with a specialist bending tool, except for the Swish Aluglyde, Swish Supreme Glide and Hallis Superglide which cannot be reverse bent. Our installers can provide advice on the best solution to suit your requirements.
