You can hang standard curtains on the track or add custom-made Silent Gliss "Wave" curtains that always hang in a professional-looking, uniform manner.

Not just a convenience

Electric curtains are also a practical solution for anyone who finds opening and closing curtains difficult, whether due to arthritis, reduced mobility, or hard-to-reach windows. Press a button and the curtains glide open or closed, silently. No reaching, no pulling, no strain.

Electric curtain tracks may also qualify for funding through a Disabled Facilities Grant, a council-funded scheme that covers home adaptations for people with disabilities or mobility issues.

Autoglide Models and Controls

As well as the control options listed below, each model has a new feature called "Touch and Go", where a small tug on the fabric of the curtain will start the motor to fully open or close your curtains.

Autoglide B (Wall Switch)

The 5100B comes with a wireless switch to open and close your curtains, and features a wall-mountable base. The switch can be removed from the base and used as a remote, then returned to the wall-mount for safe keeping. The wall mount is usually put next to your main light switch or favourite chair, so you always know where the controller is.

Autoglide R (Wall Switch + Remote)

The 5100R also comes with the wall-mountable switch, as well as a dedicated wireless remote, for keeping in easy reach or on the coffee table. The remote is slightly larger than the wall switch to make it easier to hold in your hand.

Autoglide T (Wall Switch + Timer)

The 5100T comes with the wall switch and with a wireless, programmable timer unit. You can set your curtains to open and close automatically without you having to take any action or even be in the house. This makes the timer perfect for security when you're away.

Autoglide TC (Total Control)

The 5100TC comes with all control options, so you get the wireless wall switch, the remote control and the timer unit.

Controlling Multiple Tracks

Each supplied controller controls a single "channel". If you plan on having multiple electric curtain tracks, you can obviously control them independently with their own controllers.

If you have more than one electric curtain track and set them all to the same channel, a single channel controller will control all of the curtain tracks, but they will operate all at the same time, rather than being able to operate them independently.

If you want to be able to control multiple curtain tracks independently with one single controller, take a look at the Silent Gliss 10948 multi-channel remote.

The Autoglide 5100 can be manually overridden in the event of a power cut.

What's in the Box

Everything you need to motorise your existing curtains: track, motor, fixing brackets, your chosen controllers, 5m power cable with fitted UK mains plug, and full fitting instructions.

Works with your own curtains. This track is designed to work with whatever curtains you already have, or any new curtains you choose from any supplier. You're not locked into a particular fabric, range or style. Standard curtain hooks fit the gliders.

If you'd like premium Silent Gliss Wave curtains as an upgrade, you can add them when configuring your order above.

You'll also need: standard wall fixings (rawl plugs and screws, available from any hardware shop). That's it.

N.B. Any of the controls can be purchased separately in the future and added to your system. It is all compatible and you are not limiting yourself by the choices you make now.
