Why Do Heavy Curtains Need a Specialized Motor?
Normal motors may be cheap, but with heavy curtains they quickly get hot or make a lot of noise. Keeping Indian weather and dust in mind, you need a motorized curtain system that excels in both durability and power.
Load Capacity: The Backbone of Automation An average heavy Indian curtain along with the track can be quite heavy. That’s exactly why Terra Curtains motors are specially built. Our Terra Ultra Glide series can easily handle loads from 60kg up to 90kg without any struggle.
Silence is Luxury: (18.9 dB) Just because a motor is powerful doesn’t mean it has to be noisy. In Terra’s smart electric curtain system, the noise level is only 18.9 dB. It’s so silent that even in the quiet of the night, you won’t hear the curtains moving at all.
