Why Motorized Curtains Are a Must-Have in Smart Homes

· Meera Jain

A motorised curtain track has a motor in the rail, so the curtains open and close from a remote, a wall switch, a phone app or a voice assistant, where the motor supports it.

Easy operation. Useful for wide, tall or hard-to-reach windows.

Timers. Curtains can open in the morning and close in the afternoon sun or at dusk. Closing them in the heat of the day keeps some sun out.

Away from home. A schedule can make a house look occupied.

A clean look. No pull cords or wands.

Motors have weight limits, so choose the fabric and the track together. VL Fabrics supplies motorised tracks and fabric; see our smart curtain page.
