FAQs for Roller Blinds & Curtains
We understand that smart devices, especially innovations like motorised blinds and motorised curtains, might be a new and unfamiliar concept to you. Just like anything new, once you have the correct information, it will become easier to use and understand. Whether you're looking into DIY blinds, smart blinds, or traditional roller blinds, we've got you covered. Please take a moment to review the questions below, and if you still have any uncertainties, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to provide support throughout your entire journey with smart window treatments.
-
Can I motorise my existing curtains?In most cases, no. Curtain motors require a specialised track with built-in gearing. We manufacture custom motorised curtain tracks to fit your space, so you’ll likely need a new track — but you can keep your existing fabric if it suits.
-
Are your curtain tracks custom-made?Yes. All our motorised curtain tracks are made to measure to suit your room layout, curtain weight, and motor choice. You can choose straight or curved tracks, single or double layouts, and we’ll size everything to fit.
-
Do you offer curved or bay window tracks?We don’t offer curved tracks just yet — but they’re coming soon. For bay windows, we supply three separate straight tracks, custom cut to fit each section. This gives you a clean finish while still following the shape of the bay. Send us your measurements and we’ll guide you through the setup.
-
Can I open and close curtains by remote?Absolutely. All our curtain motors come with remote control options — or you can upgrade to app control and voice commands via a smart hub like Somfy TaHoma or Automate Pulse Pro.
-
Can motorised curtains be ceiling mounted?Yes. Our curtain tracks can be mounted to the ceiling or wall, depending on your room layout. We’ll supply the right brackets and instructions for your setup.
-
Can I motorise my existing roller blinds?In many cases, yes. Around 70% of roller blinds sold in Australia can be retrofitted with our motors. The key is checking your tube type. Use our — and if your tube isn’t listed, contact us before buying.
-
What tube sizes are compatible with your motors?Most of our motors are designed to fit common sizes like 38mm, 45mm, and 50mm tubes. If your blinds use a different size, we may still have a solution — but check the Tube Identifier first or send us a photo.
-
Do I need to replace my blinds to upgrade to motorisation?No — if your existing blind system is compatible, we can supply a motor that fits straight into the tube. If it’s not compatible, we’ll let you know what needs replacing (just the tube, or the whole blind if necessary).
-
Can I install the motor myself?Yes. Most of our motors are designed for DIY installation. We include setup guides, and you’ll only need basic tools. If you’re not confident, we can recommend a local installer.
-
Are your motors compatible with blinds from Bunnings or Spotlight?Some are — it depends on the tube inside the blind. Blinds from Bunnings, Spotlight and similar stores often use tubes that aren't designed for motorisation, but some models will work. Check your tube or contact us to confirm.
