A motorised track carries the same curtains you would have chosen anyway and moves them on a button, an app, a schedule or a voice command. The convenience is the reason people buy it. The reason they keep talking about it a month later is the timer: on a west-facing window in Dubai, a blackout that closes itself at two in the afternoon stops the room ever getting hot, which is a different result from closing it by hand at six when the heat is already in the floor and the furniture.
We fit motorised curtains across Dubai, Sharjah and the wider UAE, either as a complete new system or as a motor fitted to a track you already have. The survey is free and it starts by establishing which of those two you are actually looking at.
| Motor types | Wired, rechargeable lithium, or solar-assisted |
|---|---|
| Control | Handheld remote as standard; wall switch, app, schedule and voice optional |
| Voice | Alexa, Google Home and Siri, through a hub |
| Integration | Control4, KNX and similar home controllers |
| Offline | Remote and wall switch keep working without internet |
| Noise | Quiet motors run below typical bedroom AC noise |
| Retrofit | Possible on a suitable aluminium track |
| Max weight | Up to 50 kg of curtain per track |
| Quoted | As a separate line, per window |
| Warranty | 12 months on motor and track |
Can you motorise my existing curtains?
Often, yes. If the track is a sound aluminium profile, we fit a motor carriage to it and rehang the curtains you already own, which costs far less than a new system. Light plastic rails cannot carry a motor and we will not try. The free survey tells you which you have before any quotation is written.
Do motorised curtains need wiring?
Not necessarily. A wired motor needs a fused spur near the track head, which is easy in a villa under fit-out and usually impossible in a finished apartment where the building prohibits chasing walls. Rechargeable lithium motors are the normal answer there — months per charge, topped up from a standard socket. Solar assistance works well on windows with direct sun.
Are motorised curtains noisy?
The cheap ones are, and it matters more than any other specification if the curtain is in a bedroom. Quiet motors run below the noise your AC is already making. Ask to hear one running before you choose, and be suspicious of a quotation that does not mention noise at all.
Can I control them with Alexa, Google or my phone?
Yes, through a hub. The handheld remote works on its own with no network at all; the app, the scheduling and the voice control run through a bridge on your Wi-Fi. Sunrise and sunset scheduling follows actual daylight rather than a fixed clock time, which is the setting most people end up using daily.
What happens if the Wi-Fi or the power goes down?
A properly specified system still works from the remote and the wall switch, and a battery motor is unaffected by a power cut entirely. This is worth confirming with whoever quotes you — a system that becomes unusable without internet is a badly designed one.
Do the batteries cope with UAE summer heat?
They work, but heat is what ages them. A battery motor behind glass in full summer sun will hold less charge after a few years than the same motor in a cooler climate. On a window with heavy direct sun we usually recommend a wired or solar-assisted motor instead, and we would rather say that at the survey than sell you a recharging chore.
Is motorisation included in the curtain price?
No, and deliberately so. It is quoted as its own line on top of the curtain so you can see exactly what the automation costs and choose window by window. Most people motorise two or three genuinely awkward windows and leave the rest manual.

Retrofit or replace
If your existing track is a decent aluminium profile, a motor carriage can often be fitted to it and your current curtains rehung — considerably cheaper than starting over. If it is the light plastic rail that comes as standard in a lot of handover apartments, it will not carry a motor, and forcing one onto it fails sooner rather than later. We establish which you have at the survey and tell you before quoting rather than after. Where the track has to be replaced, see curtain tracks and rails for what goes in.
Power, and the apartment problem
A wired motor needs a fused spur near the track head. In a villa under fit-out that is straightforward. In a finished apartment, where most buildings will not permit chasing walls, a rechargeable lithium motor is the practical answer — several months per charge on normal use, topped up from an ordinary socket with a lead. Solar trickle chargers work well on a window that gets direct sun, which in this region is most of them.
One local caveat worth knowing before you choose: heat shortens battery life. A motor sitting behind glass in full summer sun runs hotter than the same motor in a European bedroom, and a battery that lives hot holds less charge as the years pass. On a window with heavy direct sun we will usually push you towards a wired motor or a solar-assisted one rather than a battery you will be recharging every few weeks by year three.
Control, and what actually talks to what
A handheld radio remote is standard and needs nothing else — no Wi-Fi, no account, no app. Everything beyond that runs through a hub or bridge: a phone app over your home Wi-Fi, sunrise and sunset scheduling that follows the actual daylight rather than a fixed clock time, and voice through Alexa, Google Home or Siri. If your home already runs a controller — Control4, KNX and similar are common in villas here — we integrate into it rather than adding a second system with its own remote.
If you are being sold on smart-home compatibility, the question to ask is what happens when the internet drops. A well-specified system still works from the remote and the wall switch; a badly specified one becomes a curtain you cannot move.
Noise
Rarely mentioned, and it is the specification that matters most in a bedroom. Cheap motors are loud enough to wake someone, which defeats the point of a curtain that opens itself at sunrise. The quiet ones run at a level below the AC already running in most UAE bedrooms. This is where the price difference between motors genuinely goes, and it is worth hearing one run before you decide.
Speed, weight and long villa runs
Motors are rated for the weight they can pull, and a full-height blackout pair across a villa window is heavier than people assume. An underspecified motor on an overweight curtain is slow, noisy and short-lived. Long runs also need the track jointed and supported properly, because a motor will keep pulling against a binding runner where a person would have felt the resistance and stopped.
What it costs, and where it is worth it
Motorisation is quoted as its own line on top of the curtain, never folded into a single headline figure. That is deliberate: you should be able to see what the automation costs and decide window by window. Most of our customers motorise the two or three windows that are genuinely awkward — the double-height glass, the west elevation, the one behind the built-in sofa — and leave the rest manual.

Motorising a curtain track: what to check first
A motor on a curtain track earns its place on windows you cannot reach comfortably, on elevations that need closing before you get home, and in homes with enough windows that doing it by hand is a daily chore.
Power is the decision people underestimate
A battery motor needs no wiring and suits a finished home or a rental; it also needs recharging, which is awkward on the tall window that made you motorise in the first place. A hardwired motor never needs charging but wants a power route decided before the walls are closed.
Weight and run length
A long run of heavy blackout asks more of a motor than a short sheer. That is specified against your fabric and your span rather than sold as one product.
What the ceiling takes
A motorised track is heavier than a manual one and the fixing has to reach something solid — see tracks and rails.
Keep the manual override
Any system we fit can still be moved by hand. Worth confirming with anyone else you ask.
What motorised curtains cost in Dubai, and what the quote covers
Anyone pricing motorised curtains dubai is really pricing three things: the fabric or material, the making, and the fitting. We quote them as one figure per window rather than as a fabric price with extras arriving later, so the number you approve includes the track or fixings and the installation. Some people search for this as electric curtains dubai; it is the same product. Prices move with the size of the opening and, for curtains, with the fullness the heading needs — which is why two quotations for the same window can differ without either being wrong. The price estimator gives you a figure for your own measurements before anyone visits, and the measuring visit itself is free across Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
Worth knowing if you are comparing suppliers: the same thing is searched for as smart curtain motor uae, so a quote under a different name is often for exactly this product.
