Motorized Curtains
Motorized curtains on quiet, precise tracks
Wide spans of drapery that open and close evenly at the touch of a button, without anyone walking the panels across by hand.
Motorized tracks make the most sense exactly where drapery is hardest to use: floor-to-ceiling glass, sliding doors, corner windows and rooms where the panels sit behind furniture. The motor keeps the leading edges aligned and the ripple even every single time.
We size the track to the run, hide it in a recess or behind a fascia where the ceiling allows, and set the open and closed positions during installation.
Every project is measured on site, ordered to your exact openings, installed by our own team, and tested with you before we leave.
Where it works best
- Floor-to-ceiling window walls
- Sliding and balcony doors
- High-rise apartments
- Primary bedrooms with wide glass

The hotel-style effect
The scene most clients are actually asking for
When clients describe what they want, they're often describing a hotel room: panels that glide open evenly across a wide wall of glass at the touch of one button, with no dragging, no uneven stacking, and no one crossing the room to do it by hand.
That effect comes from the track, not the fabric. A motor sized correctly to the run keeps the leading edge straight and the ripple even every time the curtains move, which is very difficult to achieve by hand on a wide span.
Wide spans
Built for window walls, not standard windows
Motorized tracks solve a problem that only shows up once drapery gets wide, tall or awkward to reach.
Floor-to-ceiling glass, corner windows and sliding doors are exactly where hand-drawn panels start to fail: the fabric drags, the leading edge falls behind, or the window is simply too wide to reach without walking its length. A motorized track spans the full run in one continuous piece of hardware and moves the whole width evenly.
Track configuration
Track configurations we install
Center-open
Two panels meet in the middle, the standard configuration for a symmetrical wall of glass.
Single-draw
One panel stacks fully to one side, useful next to a door or a fixed piece of furniture.
Recessed pocket
The track disappears into a ceiling recess so only the fabric is visible.
Curved track
Follows a bay window or a corner run without a visible break in the curtain line.
Power
Battery vs. hardwired motors
Battery / rechargeable
Installs without new wiring, in almost any existing home, and recharges on a schedule you control.
Hardwired
The better fit during new construction or a renovation, with no batteries to manage on a heavy, frequently used track.
Control
Setting up scenes and schedules
- Group multiple tracks so an entire wall of glass opens and closes together
- Pair with motorized shades on one remote or app for a single "morning" or "movie" scene
- Set a schedule so curtains open at sunrise and close at dusk where the hardware supports it
- Confirm smart-home hub compatibility before ordering if that's part of the plan

Frequently asked questions
Motorized Curtains: your questions answered.
How quiet are motorized curtain tracks?
Quality tracks are noticeably quieter than a motorized shade because the load is spread along the run. We size the motor to the weight of the fabric so it never strains.
Do motorized curtains need power at the window?
Battery-powered tracks exist for lighter panels, but most drapery runs are best hardwired. We confirm the power route before ordering.
Can motorized curtain tracks curve around a bay window?
Yes, curved tracks are available and are measured to the specific radius of your bay or corner window.
Will a motorized track work with heavy, lined drapery?
Yes, but the motor needs to be sized to the actual weight of the fabric. Heavier lined or interlined panels need a stronger motor than a light sheer. We confirm fabric weight before specifying the track.
Can I still open motorized curtains by hand if needed?
Most tracks allow a gentle manual override, though repeated hand-pulling can strain the mechanism over time. We'll explain the correct manual procedure for your specific track.

Get the wide-span glass moving on its own
If your drapery spans a window wall, sliding door or corner run, a motorized track is worth pricing alongside a standard rod. We'll measure the run and recommend the right hardware.
