Curtain Motors FAQ

Can I still open and close the curtains manually?

Yes, depending on the selected motor and system configuration. Many motorised curtain systems allow manual operation by gently pulling the curtain, while the motor assists or automatically completes the movement. Your Arklyfe consultant will confirm the most suitable option based on the selected track and motor.

Will the curtains still work if the internet goes down?

Yes, local operation will usually remain available. You can still use the wall switch, remote control or manual control option where applicable. However, app control from outside the home, cloud-based voice control and some remote automations may not be available until the internet connection returns.

Can I install motorised curtains in an existing home?

Yes, in many cases. Motorised curtains can be installed in existing homes, particularly where power access, mounting points and curtain clearances can be accommodated. For the cleanest result, especially in premium renovations and new builds, we recommend planning the curtain recess, power point, track position and control method before plastering or ceiling installation.

Are motorised curtains safe for children and pets?

They can be a safer option than traditional corded window furnishings because they remove hanging chains and cords. However, all curtains, tracks and electrical components should still be professionally installed and kept in good condition.

What is the difference between a battery-powered and mains-powered curtain motor?

Battery-powered motors can be useful where wiring is difficult or where a lower-impact retrofit is preferred. They may require periodic charging or battery maintenance. Mains-powered motors are generally preferred for premium new builds, renovations and high-use curtain systems because they offer a more permanent, concealed and low-maintenance solution.
