Motorized Curtains for Double-Height Windows
Heavy, double-height curtains are beautiful but difficult to operate. We install high-torque motors to make your large windows effortless, quiet, and fully automated.
In this living room, a single tap on the phone opens up a wide expanse of curtains, instantly flooding the space with natural light. This is the convenience my smart curtain automation brings to modern homes.
This shows a double-sided curtain setup with a sheer layer for daytime privacy and a thicker blackout curtain. My system automates both layers, allowing you to switch between them effortlessly with a single touch.
For these tall, heavy curtains, manual operation was a daily struggle for the client. I installed a motorized track that opens and closes both the sheer and main curtains smoothly, demonstrating the practical benefit of automation.

This installation covers a two-floor window area. I programmed the system so a single touch on the wall panel operates the entire set of curtains, simplifying control for such a large and impressive feature window.
About Double-Height & Large Curtains
When dealing with double-height curtains, the weight of the fabric is the real challenge. My systems use 2.0Nm industrial motors to ensure your curtains don't sag and operate smoothly every time. It is all about matching the right torque to your window size so you never have to deal with jamming, uneven hanging, or the frustration of manually pulling heavy fabric.
Why Automate Large Windows?
If you have double-height or floor-to-ceiling windows, you know the daily struggle of pulling heavy fabric. Manual operation is not just difficult, it can actually damage the curtain tracks over time. I focus on heavy-duty automation that handles 20ft+ drops without a hitch.
My Approach to Heavy-Duty Automation
- High-Torque Hardware: I use 2.0Nm+ industrial motors designed specifically for heavy, floor-to-ceiling drapery.
- Reinforced Tracks: Standard tracks often sag under the weight of double-height fabric. I install structural-grade aluminum tracks to ensure a smooth, silent glide.
- Touch & Go: A simple tug on the fabric triggers the motor to open or close the rest of the way, which is great for when you do not have your remote or phone handy.
Planning for Success
The best time to install these systems is during the interior planning phase. If you have the electrical points for the curtains set up early, you save on rewiring costs and avoid exposed cabling. Whether you need your curtains to open on a voice command via Alexa, or you want them to automatically close at sunset, I can integrate them into your broader smart home setup.
