— Curtain Automation Solutions —
Discover automated curtains crafted by Redgraves, Auckland’s trusted specialists in custom window treatments for over 60 years. Our motorised curtain tracks blend elegant fabric, quiet technology, and smart-home control to deliver effortless light, privacy, and comfort for modern New Zealand homes
What is Curtain Automation?
Curtain automation uses discreet motorised tracks to open and close your curtains at the touch of a button, via smartphone, or by voice control. The fabric still looks and feels like a beautiful custom drape—only the operation changes, making large or hard‑to‑reach windows simple to manage every day.
Our systems can be installed in new builds or retrofitted in existing homes, and can be designed as single or double tracks for sheers plus blockout curtains. From softly layered living room drapes to full blackout bedroom solutions, each automated curtain is made‑to‑measure for your windows and lifestyle
Key Benefits for Kiwi Homes
Everyday convenience for large, heavy, or high‑level curtains—perfect for double‑height voids, stairwells, and wide stacker doors common in contemporary NZ homes.
Smart energy savings as curtains automatically respond to sun and season, helping keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
UV protection for furnishings, flooring, and artwork by closing at peak sun, especially in coastal or north‑facing Auckland settings.
Enhanced security and privacy by scheduling curtains to close at dusk or when you are away, helping your home look “lived in”.
Cord‑free, child‑safe operation—ideal for family homes where safety and ease of use are important.
Seamless integration with wider window treatment schemes, including automated blinds and motorised Romans for a unified whole‑home solution.
Smart Home Integration & Control
Our automated curtain tracks can integrate with leading smart home platforms such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit, allowing you to control curtains with voice, app, or scenes. Depending on your project, we can specify wired or battery solutions, single‑channel remotes for one room, or multi‑channel and app‑based control for an entire home.
You can create schedules (for example, open bedrooms at sunrise and close living spaces at dusk), link curtains to temperature or sun sensors, or group them with other automated blinds in your home. For new builds and major renovations, our consultants work with your electrician and home automation specialist from the planning stage so power and control points are perfectly placed.
Systems and Track Options
Redgraves partners with proven automation brands and track systems, including the Glydea® motorised track range, selected for quiet performance and reliability. We can design: straight tracks, corner and curved tracks, and double tracks for sheer plus blackout curtains, all tailored to your window dimensions and fabric choice.
Heading styles such as S‑fold, wave, or pleated curtains are all compatible with automation, allowing you to maintain the exact look you want while upgrading the operation. Hardware colours and pelmet or recessed options are discussed with you to ensure the track integrates seamlessly with your interior and architecture.
Where Automated Curtains Work Best
Living rooms and open‑plan spaces with wide sliding or stacker doors, where daily operation can otherwise be heavy or awkward.
Double‑height voids, raked ceilings, and stairwells where manual access to curtains is difficult.
Media rooms and bedrooms needing fast, full blackout at the touch of a button.
Coastal and sun‑exposed homes where automated closing protects interiors from harsh NZ UV while you are out.
Architect‑designed homes where recessed tracks and integrated controls are planned from day one for a clean, minimalist finish.
