{"product_id":"wired-motorised-curtain-system","title":"Wired Motorised Curtain System","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA wired motor is the better system and the shorter window of opportunity.\u003c\/strong\u003e It never needs charging, it outlasts a battery motor, and it is what we recommend wherever it is available. What decides that is not budget. It is what stage your ceiling is at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThis is a sequencing decision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wired motor needs power at the head of the window. In a fit-out or renovation, before the ceiling closes, that is a cable run like any other: it goes in with the lighting and disappears. Once the ceiling is closed, the same cable becomes surface trunking painted to match, or a visible run to a socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither is a disaster. Both are compromises you would not have made had the question come up two weeks earlier. Wired is not expensive; it is early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat has to be decided, and when\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore first fix.\u003c\/strong\u003e Which windows are motorised at all, and whether the track is ceiling-fixed — that decides where the cable terminates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore the ceiling closes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cable position at each window head, and whether the drop is concealed in a pelmet or a recessed ceiling channel — the cleanest result available, and one that cannot be retrofitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore the curtains are made.\u003c\/strong\u003e The finished weight of the panel: the motor is sized against fabric, lining, interlining, heading and hardware, not the width of the window. Wired removes the charging question, not the torque question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore handover.\u003c\/strong\u003e Which smart-home system the home runs, so the motor and any bridge are specified to it rather than adapted later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt is effectively permanent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA battery installation is reversible: unclip the motor, take the track down, make good a few holes. A wired one is not — the cable is in the structure, and changing your mind means opening the ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo wired is right when you are confident which windows deserve a motor — and that is what most people lack at fit-out stage, having not lived in the apartment yet. Wire the ones you are certain about, particularly the unreachable ones, and leave the rest for a battery retrofit. Two or three windows usually earn a motor; wiring all of them is the expensive way to find that out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere wired clearly wins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVillas and new builds, where sequencing is on your side. Double-height and stairwell glass, because a wired motor never asks you to reach it. And any home on Control4, KNX or Lutron, where the curtains should sit inside the developer's system rather than beside it — the compatibility check happens at your property before we quote, as on \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/motorized\"\u003eour motorised page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe track still decides it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wired motor does not rescue a track never rated for motorisation. Motor and track are a matched pair, and the track has to carry the span, the weight and a repeated load a hand never applies. On a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/wave-curtains-dubai\"\u003ewave heading\u003c\/a\u003e that matters more again, and a motorised wave must be specified as one from the outset. What fails later is in \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/motorised-curtains-dubai-guide\"\u003ewhat actually goes wrong\u003c\/a\u003e — and in the older towers of \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/curtains-jlt\"\u003eJLT\u003c\/a\u003e we routinely replace wired systems whose motors are out of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow we work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA supervisor visits free and the survey is technical: where power can realistically reach, what the ceiling above each window is made of, the finished weight of each panel, and which system the home will run. One written price per finished window within 24 hours, nothing added later, fitted on the date in your contract rather than a range, with a one-year warranty covering motors and electronics. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eBook a free survey\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions we get asked\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy apartment is finished. Is wired still possible?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsually, as surface trunking painted to match or a visible cable. Possible, but rarely the trade you want — on a finished apartment we would normally recommend battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow early do you need to be involved in a fit-out?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore first fix, so cable positions go in with the electrical works.
