When to Specify Motorised Curtains for Large Glazing
Consider motorised curtains where manual movement is difficult, access is limited or several treatments need reliable group control. The decision should follow the actual fabric load and use scenario, not glazing size alone.Why it matters at project stage
A correctly selected motor can support regular operation of heavy or high-level curtains. Test reach, operating frequency and control expectations before treating motorisation as necessary.
Information required
Establish manual reach, actual fabric and track load, opening frequency, power provision, control groups, motor side and maintenance access.
Reaching a project decision
Retain manual operation where it is comfortable and accessible. Where motorisation is justified, choose capacity, speed, controls and power from documented compatible products.
Coordination through delivery
Issue the decision before ceiling and electrical finishes. Mark track, power point, motor side and control group on the same opening schedule.
Project checklist
Points to resolve in the project
- Was manual operation assessed?
- Is the actual load known?
- Is power provision ready?
- Is the control scenario defined?
- Is service access retained?
