Curtain Pockets and Motor Space

A motorised curtain pocket must accommodate the motor body, connection, fabric layers and future service access—not only the track. Set its dimensions from the selected system and mark the motor side clearly.
01

Why it matters at project stage

An undersized pocket can prevent installation, cause fabric contact with the ceiling or leave the connection inaccessible. Close the pocket detail with the system selection.

02

Information required

Use the selected motor and track section, layer count, fabric movement, connection arrangement, motor side, fixing substrate and maintenance access.

03

Reaching a project decision

Pocket width and depth must accommodate the track, motor and both open and closed fabric positions. Use manufacturer details and the project section rather than a standard nominal size.

04

Coordination through delivery

The ceiling contractor confirms space and support, the electrical team confirms the connection, and the curtain specialist confirms track centreline and motor access before the ceiling is closed.

Project checklist

Points to resolve in the project

  • Is the selected motor section available?
  • Does the pocket accommodate every layer?
  • Is the motor side correct?
  • Can the connection be reached?
  • Is the track substrate ready?
