Take a look at the different steps you need to know to find the perfect match for your curtains.
Perfect for shading out the light and privacy at night, you should always choose an opaque design for nighttime spaces. Light fabrics like cotton or microfibre are easy to use. Insulating curtains are the perfect way to improve your home's thermal insulation. These curtains have a lining that acts as a barrier in winter against the cold from outside and wards off heat in summer. Heavy, thick curtains like velvet or thick cotton provide this kind of thermal insulation. They give your home a cosy, warm style. Certain curtains can be thermal and soundproof.
Designed mainly for living spaces, voile curtains are perfect for seeing without being seen. Their light fabric is light and either sheer or light filtering to protect you from prying eyes and still let some light in. Plain or patterned, made of simple cotton, polyester, organza, or muslin, there's something for everybody.
To protect your privacy at dusk, the curtains shut on their own and your lights turn on so you can just enjoy the time of night with total peace of mind. Also, as soon as anybody tries to open the curtain manually, the smart curtains motor detects this and takes over, opening it automatically.
Whatever the time of day, your smart curtain opener, adjust and close automatically in silence. This gives you the ideal visual comfort to do your favourite activities. Your smart electric curtain/voile curtain also has the benefit of preserving your furniture and wallpaper from the effects of sunlight.
You can easily control the inside temperature. In summer, if it's too hot, your automatic curtain opener shut to keep your house cool. And in winter, they stay open to let the sun through and increase the temperature a few degrees.
By centralising your smart electric curtain using home automation, you can control them with a single click from the special app on your smartphone. And thanks to its compatibility with voice assistants, you can launch scenarios vocally to really relax in your own home.
The automation of the curtains is done thanks to the motorization which allows them to slide on a rail.
For electric curtains, you have to choose which way they open: left, right, or in the middle. It's pretty straightforward in principle: if you choose an automatic curtain opener that opens to the right, the fabric piles up on the right side of the window. The same goes for the left. If you opt for a central opening, then the two sides of the curtains open on either side of the window. So make sure you have plenty of space on one side or both sides of your window for plenty of light when the smart electric curtain is open.
To ensure the optimal performance of your smart electric curtain, consider the weight, design, and length.
Our motor system accommodates curtains up to 60 kg and 12 meters long. The fabric weight is crucial; heavier curtains require more robust, high-performance motors. We cater to various styles, including straight, wave, and simple-fold curtains, in any type (like blackout or insulating). Our custom rails guarantee a perfect fit for your window.
For optimal selection and installation, we recommend consulting with a Somfy Expert.
Once the sunlight levels are too high, the curtains close automatically to keep the interior cool. Perfect for just the right temperature to stay comfortable and for reducing your energy use.
Thermis temperature sensor acts as a regulator in your home. In winter, it stops the cold: below a certain degree, the curtains shut automatically to keep the inside temperature pleasant.
Taking measures for such an installation requires special knowledge. That is why asking a professional to measure your future custom smart electric curtain is strongly recommended. This means he can tell you the best way to hang them and you thus can choose the design of the straight or curved rail which is also custom-made.
