What motorised curtains are best for.
Heavy drapes and wide windows are difficult to operate manually. A motorised track makes opening and closing effortless, whatever the size or weight of the curtain.
Open or close your curtains from your bed or your sofa using a remote, your phone, or a scheduled automation. Particularly useful for blockout curtains in rooms with high or hard-to-reach windows.
Motorised curtain tracks connect with intelligent virtual assistants. Control by voice, app, or schedule for comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency.
Motorised curtains eliminate cords entirely, making them a clean, safe option for households with young children or pets, and a practical choice for minimalist interiors.

Are motorised curtains right for your home?
Motorised tracks require a power source and are a more significant investment than a standard curtain installation. They work best in specific situations: large windows, high ceilings, heavy fabrics, or homes where smart home integration is already in place. Your local consultant will assess your home honestly and tell you where motorisation adds real value.

Frequently asked questions
Can all curtains be motorised?
Most curtain fabrics can be used with a motorised track, but the track type and motor specification depend on the curtain weight, width, and your chosen control method. Your consultant will assess your specific windows and fabric choice during the in-home visit.
Are motorised curtains quiet?
Yes. Modern motorised curtain tracks operate quietly and smoothly, making them well suited to bedrooms and living spaces where noise is a consideration.
Do motorised curtains need to be hardwired?
Not necessarily. Some systems operate on rechargeable battery-powered motors, while others connect to a wall socket or require hardwiring. Your consultant will explain the options and advise on the most suitable setup for your home.
Do motorised curtains work with smart home systems?
Yes. Russells motorised curtain tracks can connect with smart home platforms (or intelligent virtual assistants). Your consultant will confirm compatibility with your existing setup during the visit.
Are motorised curtains worth the cost?
For large windows, high ceilings, heavy fabrics, or homes where smart home automation is a priority, the convenience and functionality justify the additional investment. For smaller, standard windows, a manual track is often the more practical choice. Your consultant will give you an honest view based on your specific situation.
Can motorised curtains open from the centre or one side?
Both options are available. Centre-opening tracks split from the middle and draw to each side. Single-draw tracks open from one side only. Your consultant will recommend the most practical configuration for your window and room layout.
Can motorised curtains be custom-made in NZ?
Yes. The curtain fabric is cut, sewn, and quality-checked in our Nelson workroom, and the track system is custom-configured to your exact window measurements. Your consultant measures on-site, and the entire system is built for your specific window.
Are motorised curtains safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Motorised curtains eliminate cords entirely, removing the looped-cord safety risk associated with traditionally operated curtains and blinds. They are a practical and safe choice for households with young children and/or pets.
Are curtains a good choice if we’ve got kids or pets?
They’re one of the safest choices you can make. Curtains don’t need cords or chains to work, so there’s nothing dangling for little hands or curious paws. We’d steer you away from cord controls — and if you’d rather not draw them by hand (which can mark the fabric over time), a wand or automation keeps things easy and safe. Just ask and we’ll talk you through it.
