Hello

I am interested in installing some remote control curtains in my Bay window-total run approx 4.5 metres.

Does anyone actually have any installed they can kindly recommend?

I am not even sure if it is feasible as overcoming the bends for the bay with a motor each side may be difficult?

I currently have a plastic rail I installed several years ago but it has never run smoothly (probably due to my DIY!) and I thought of adding a RC motor I saw on Ebay-however I think I need a Professional to install such a thing

Any thoughts would be really welcome

Many thanks

Have a look at Silent Gliss the masters of automated curtains

Thanks Horny Dragon

Yes the 5090 range can be fitted to bay windows-will check it out

I have always found Silent Gliss anything but Silent.

Personally prefer Golst's G-Rail system but neither are cheap at all. For that sort of run I would guess at between £500 and £800 depending on the weight they need to carry.

Hi Vex

I measured the run last night and its actually 3 metres (!)

As you say, its not cheap-the 5090TL range of silent gliss was about £460 (inc £95 for bending the rail).

Will take a look at Golst's G-Rail

The other (hopefully cheaper) option I thought of was to get a decent manual 'pulley' system installed professionally (so it runs smoothly) and then later on add a motor on each end of the bay I had seen for sale on Ebay (see Cheap electric curtain tracks? I can see you were not convinced by them


many thanks

Although you're right, 'Silent' Gliss aint silent, it's still not exactly noisy!!

The cheapest place I've found so far is at www.discountelectriccurtains.co.uk - I have'nt tried one of the cheaper makes yet, but it isnt something you buy everyday!

Laters,

Tony.
