Motorized curtains
Drawn by a motor, fitted by us
Made to measure in our workshop

If your Dubai home has double-height glass, a wide sliding door or a bedroom that faces the sunrise, motorized curtains are worth it. A small motor fitted to the track draws the curtain open and closed. A manual track is enough for a small window within reach. We measure every window at a free home visit.
Last updated
A motor, a track with carriers and your control do the work.
Where the motor sits
The motor fixes to one end and usually drives a belt inside the track. One motor draws a single curtain or a pair that meets in the middle.
Wave heading on a ceiling track
Wave carriers are linked at a fixed spacing, on a motorized curtain track or a manual one, so the folds stay even.
Remote or wall switch
A remote, a wall switch or both. Put the switch where you stand to close the curtain.
In June the sun rises around 5:30 am, and an east-facing bedroom gets it first. On a timer, a blackout-lined curtain stays shut until the hour you choose. Remote control curtains close a nursery from the doorway, with no cord in reach.
August in Dubai averages a daily high of 42.1°C (Dubai Meteorological Office figures, 1977 to 2015), and DEWA's own summer advice is to shade glass. A west window takes direct sun from early afternoon. A timer can close the curtain before then, on workdays and through a summer away.
With the lamps on, a room behind double-height glass is easy to see into, and a curtain that tall is heavy to pull by hand. Each motor is rated for a maximum curtain weight, so the drop and fabric we measure decide which one suits. We've motorized curtains in villas, apartments and penthouses, double-height windows included.
Every motor track we fit is screwed into the ceiling or wall. Where no new holes are allowed at all, a clip-on opener you fit yourself can draw a light curtain on your existing pole or track. We take the track down when you move out, but filling the holes and painting are outside our work.
One switch by the door can draw every curtain in the room at once. On a double track, a sheer stays closed by day against screen glare, and the lined curtain dims the room for a projector. We take on offices, warehouses and hotel apartments, fitting evenings or weekends where a building requires it, which can cost extra.
An east bedroom at sunrise
Double-height glass and wide sliding doors drawn several times a day are where motorized curtains make the most difference. Next come rooms that must close on time, like an east bedroom when the June sun is up around 5:30 am. A small window within reach rarely needs one.
A wide sliding door
| Your window | Motor or manual? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Double-height glass | Motor | Too tall to draw by hand |
| Wide sliding door | Motor | Drawn several times a day |
| East-facing bedroom | Motor | Opens when you choose |
| West-facing living room | Motor | Closes before the sun arrives |
| Meeting room with a glass wall | Motor | Every curtain on one switch |
| Home office with glare | Either | Motor if adjusted often |
| Small window within reach | Manual | Easy to draw by hand |
Four choices shape a motorized curtain. Tell us beforehand which controls or smart-home system you use, and we recommend a motor to suit.
Comes with a 5-year motor warranty.
Comes with a 2-year motor warranty.
The lower-cost choice, also with a 2-year warranty.
Talks to the motor directly, without the internet. One switch can run several curtains.
Opens and closes the curtain from your phone; most apps can set times too.
Runs by voice through Alexa, Google or Apple Home, or from the home-automation system you already have.
Runs on a track, so it takes a curtain track motor.
Hangs from a pole, so it doesn't run on a standard motor track.
A sheer and a lined curtain; motorize one or both.
A remote or wall switch works without the internet, so a Wi-Fi drop stops only app and voice control. In a power cut, the electric motor stops until the power returns. Whether you can then pull the curtain by hand depends on the motor, so ask at the visit.
A wave curtain closed wall to wall
| If this happens | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Wi-Fi or hub drops | Use the remote or wall switch |
| Power cut | Pull by hand, if your motor allows it |
| Remote lost years later | Pair a new remote to the motor, so note the motor's make |
| Motor or remote faulty | We repair both, even on curtains we didn't install |
A window needs four things before a curtain motor goes in: power, a solid fixing, the landlord's permission if you rent, and whatever the building asks for.
Choose the fabric, heading and a sheer on a second track as for the rest of our curtains. For a bedroom that faces the sunrise, add a blackout lining. For west glass, read how to keep the afternoon heat out. A window above the kitchen hob, or one high up, may suit motorized blinds better.
Bought your curtains or track elsewhere? Our fitting and repair service covers those too.
Sheer by day
Lined at night
Two layers on a double track
We price motorized curtains at the free home visit, because each window sets its own track, motor and fitting. The motor's cost is added to the curtains'.
As an example, a 2 × 3 m window with a general Tuya motor, the track and blackout curtains starts from 1,240. Remotes are priced on top, and a Somfy or Dooya motor costs more than the general one. Our guide to curtain prices shows how a full quote breaks down.
The Curtains Dubai measures your windows at a free home visit, makes the curtains in its own workshop, and supplies and installs the track, motor and controls.
A pinch-pleat curtain from ceiling to floor
Tell us the rooms, which way they face, and whether you rent. Photos of the windows help.
We measure each window, note where the track will be fixed, and talk through power and controls. We cover the whole of Dubai and bring fabric samples to hold against your windows. A deposit confirms the order.
We make the curtains to your measurements in our Dubai workshop. Fitting follows 3 working days after you confirm the order; a big job can take longer. If you need them up by a move-in date, say so before you approve.
On the day, the track goes up first. Then we set the motor's end points and pair each remote or switch, so you can try them. Book the free home visit to settle which windows get a motor and how each one is controlled.
Anything else, ask on the phone: 050 257 7765
Motorized curtains for one 2 × 3 m window start from 1,240: blackout curtains on a track with a general Tuya motor, remotes extra. A motor costs about the same on any window, so it is a larger share of a small window's price. Our quote lists each window's fabric, lining, track, motor, controls and fitting on separate lines.
Yes. Electric curtains and automatic curtains are other names for motorized curtains: a small motor on the track draws the curtain. Smart curtains are motorized curtains you also run from an app, on a timer, or by voice through Alexa, Google or Apple Home. A remote or wall switch still works when the Wi-Fi is down.
Yes, on a timer. Most apps can set times, so the curtains open at sunrise and close before the afternoon sun reaches the glass, even while you're out. That is what people usually mean by automated curtains, and the remote or wall switch still works at any time.
A clip-on opener grips a pole or track you already have and pulls a light curtain along it, with no fitter and no new holes. Wide, heavy or lined curtains, including double-height drops, need a motorized track, which carries the curtain and moves it evenly. We don't supply or fit clip-on openers.
Existing curtains can take a motor when their heading suits a track. We motorize curtains you already have by replacing the manual track with a motor track; pinch pleat and wave headings can often move straight across. An eyelet curtain needs a new heading first, which we can sew on.
Every curtain motor hums while the curtain moves and goes quiet once it stops. Makers publish a rated noise level, so you can compare motors between quotes. Put the motor at the track end farthest from a bed or a meeting table.
A quote for motorized curtains should name the warranty on each part. The motors we fit carry a 2-year or 5-year warranty, depending on the make. Our workmanship and the curtains' stitching and making carry 2 years each; sun fading isn't covered. Afterwards, you contact the salesperson who handled your order.
