Motorised curtain tracks

Where the track matters more than the fabric

A long formal window — the kind Waterkloof's older reception rooms are full of — is exactly where hand-drawn curtains fail. They get pulled from one end, the leading edge wears, the pleats go crooked and the whole thing ends up half-open for years. A motorised track pulls from the carriage, not the cloth: even travel, no handling, no wear on the leading edge.

What we fit

Ceiling or wall-fixed aluminium tracks with quiet DC motors, sized to the weight of the curtain. Tracks can be curved for a bay, split for a centre-opening pair, or run in two layers so a sheer and a heavy lined curtain move independently on the same window.

• Remote, wall switch, timer, or integration with an existing smart-home system.
• Touch-start on many systems: a gentle pull on the fabric starts the motor.
• Obstacle detection, so a curtain that catches stops rather than strains.
• Battery or wired; wired is the better answer in a renovation, where power can reach the pelmet.
• Can be paired on one control with a blockout roller behind, for a true blackout bedroom.

Honest scope

We specialise in the shading, blind and track side of the window rather than curtain making, and we say so up front. Bring your curtain maker to the measure, or fit the track first and dress it later — either way we will specify a track that carries the weight you are planning to hang on it.
