Motorised Curtains: Automated Convenience for Brisbane Homes

How Motorised Curtains Work

An electric motor drives the curtain track. The curtains glide open and closed smoothly and quietly. You control them via remote, wall switch, or smartphone app.

The motor fits at one end of the track. It is usually concealed in a pelmet or ceiling recess. The installation looks clean and professional.

Battery or hardwired options are available. Battery motors avoid electrical work and suit most situations. Hardwired motors suit new builds or renovations.

Benefits of Motorisation

Large curtains become easy to operate. Heavy blockout curtains can be difficult to draw manually. Motorisation makes operation effortless.

Hard-to-reach curtains become accessible. High windows, vaulted ceilings, and stairwells no longer need poles or stepladders. Press a button from anywhere.

Smart home integration adds convenience. Schedule curtains to open with sunrise. Include them in scenes. Voice control through Alexa or Google Home.

• Effortless operation for heavy curtains
• Access to hard-to-reach windows
• Smart home and schedule control
• Consistent, gentle movement

Suitable Curtain Styles

S-fold curtains work best with motors. The gliders on s-fold tracks suit motorised operation perfectly. The smooth waves open and close beautifully.

Pinch pleat curtains work well too. The curtains draw along the track smoothly. The pleats maintain their shape through movement.

Eyelet curtains generally do not suit motorisation. The rod-through-ring design is incompatible with motorised tracks. Choose a different heading for automation.

Brisbane Climate Benefits

Scheduled operation improves energy efficiency. Program curtains to close during the hottest part of the day. Your home stays cooler without manual intervention.

Quick response to weather changes. Close all curtains instantly when storms approach. Raise them when the sun returns. Motorisation makes adjustment effortless.

Common Questions

How much do motorised curtains cost?

Motorised curtains typically cost one thousand to two thousand dollars per window including track, motor, and curtains. This is significantly more than manual curtains. The convenience justifies the cost for many people.

Are motorised curtains noisy?

Quality motors are very quiet. You hear a gentle hum as the curtains move. Cheap motors can be noisier. We use quality motors for quiet operation.

Can I motorise existing curtains?

Sometimes. If your existing curtains suit motorised tracks and are in good condition, we can add motorisation. Often new curtains and track are more practical.
