Electric curtain tracks are becoming increasingly popular in modern homes on the Costa Blanca. With the push of a button, your curtains open or close automatically, providing extra comfort, a luxurious look, and daily convenience.

Although people often talk about electric curtains, it is actually the curtain track that is motorized. Almost any type of curtain can be combined with a motorized track.

At Port of Altea, we advise on the right track, operation, and curtain fabric. We measure everything carefully and, if desired, also handle the installation.

What are electric curtains?

The term electric curtains is often used, but technically it refers to an electric curtain track with a motor. The motor ensures the curtain opens and closes automatically.

This way, you benefit from the comfort of automatic operation while maintaining full freedom in fabric, color, and finish choices.

Whether you choose wave curtains, drapes, inbetween curtains, or blackout curtains, almost any curtain fabric can be combined with an electric track.

Why choose an electric curtain track?

Electric operation not only offers comfort but also extends the lifespan of your curtains. You no longer have to pull the fabric daily, reducing stress on pleats and hanging points.

In addition, an electric track provides a luxurious look that perfectly suits modern homes, apartments, and villas on the Costa Blanca.

Electric operation is increasingly used especially for wide windows and large sliding doors.

Which curtains can be operated electrically?

Almost all types of curtains can be combined with an electric curtain track.

Electric tracks are used for wave curtains, drapes, inbetween curtains, and blackout curtains.

The choice of curtain determines the look. The electric track ensures ease of use.

Perfect for large sliding doors

Many homes on the Costa Blanca feature wide sliding doors and large glass panels. This is exactly where an electric curtain track really comes into its own.

When curtains are several meters wide, they become heavier and less practical to operate manually every day. With an electric rail, you open and close the curtains effortlessly.

This not only provides more comfort but often also extends the lifespan of the curtains because the fabric is less stressed.

Electric rails for wave curtains

One of the most chosen combinations is an electric rail with a wave curtain.

The even wave of a wave curtain combines perfectly with the smooth movement of an electric rail. This creates a modern and luxurious look that fits perfectly with contemporary interiors.

For living rooms and large sliding doors, this is often a popular choice.

Electric rails for over curtains

Also, over curtains are often fitted with an electric rail. Especially with heavy fabrics and wide window sections, this offers a lot of extra comfort.

Because the motor does the work, the curtains hang nicely and the fabrics are less stressed during opening and closing.

Electric rails for blackout curtains

Also, blackout curtains can be excellently combined with an electric rail.

For bedrooms, we usually recommend a single or double pleat when maximum darkening is desired. These generally fit better than a wave pleat and let less light through between the pleats.

This way, you optimally combine sleep comfort with the convenience of electric operation.

Electric rails for inbetween curtains

Also, inbetween curtains can be operated electrically. This is a great solution for large sliding doors where you want to maintain privacy during the day without completely blocking daylight.

With the push of a button, you open or close the curtains exactly as you want.

Remote control and group operation

Electric curtain rails can be operated in various ways. Often, a remote control is chosen, allowing one or more curtains to be opened and closed simultaneously.

In larger homes, different rooms can be controlled separately, allowing each room to have its own settings.

We are happy to advise which solution best suits your home and usage preferences.

Electric curtain rails for new builds and renovations

Electric rails are used in both new-build homes and existing homes. During a renovation, the desired wiring and finishing can often be taken into account immediately.

Even in existing homes, there are often excellent opportunities to add electric operation.

Professional measuring and installation

An electric curtain track requires precise measuring. The width of the window, the weight of the fabric, the position of the motor, and the desired operation must be well coordinated.

That’s why we handle the entire process from advice and measuring to delivery and installation if desired.

We work in Altea, Albir, Calpe, Benissa, Moraira, Jávea, Dénia, Benidorm, La Nucía, Villajoyosa, Guardamar, and surrounding areas.
