Motorised Curtain Tracks for New Builds
Early-stage motorised curtain-track planning for new homes, developments and ceiling recesses.
System overview
What this means for your project.
New-build projects provide the best opportunity to hide tracks, motors and cabling—but only when the details are agreed before ceilings and finishes are completed.
Electrical coordination
Agree power, isolation and control cabling with the electrician.
Continuous support
Provide suitable structure along the full fixing route.
Final access
Keep the motor and service components accessible after completion.
01 · Curtain
Confirm the moving load.
Use the finished curtain weight, not a rough fabric estimate. Include fullness, lining, interlining, heading and accessories.
02 · Track
Plan the complete route.
Track length, bends, opening direction, stack position, brackets and fixing support all affect the installation.
03 · Controls
Choose control early.
Power, app, voice, remote and building automation requirements should be agreed before the system is ordered.

Can motorised curtains still be operated by hand?
Many Forest Shuttle systems include Touch Control and emergency manual operation. The exact feature set depends on the selected motor and control arrangement.
Can TrackFit install curved motorised tracks?
Yes, subject to survey, bend geometry, curtain load and final manufacturer specification. TrackFit uses a preliminary 10% additional planning allowance per bend when assessing motor load.
Do you supply and install the complete system?
TrackFit can review the opening, curtain load, track profile, fixing, power location and controls before supplying and installing the agreed system.
Preliminary guidance
Confirm the exact motor, track and controls before ordering.
Published limits generally apply to stated configurations. Curves, track length, curtain construction and controls require project-specific confirmation.
