Motorized Draperies & Curtains in Austin, TX
Motorized draperies open and close on a quiet motorized track. Press a button, tap your phone, ask your voice assistant, or set a schedule, and the panels glide open in the morning and close at sunset.
They're the easiest way to handle tall windows, wide sliding doors, and heavy lined panels, and they look the same as any custom drapery because the motor hides in the track.
How motorized draperies work
The motor sits at one end of a drapery track and pulls the carriers along it, so the panels glide open and closed evenly. The track can be ceiling or wall mounted, and one motor can drive a single panel or a center-opening pair.
Control options include a handheld remote, a wall switch, a smartphone app, and voice assistants through a hub. Schedules can open draperies at sunrise and close them before the afternoon sun or at sunset.
Why we recommend them in Central Texas
Motorized draperies solve the windows that manual draperies struggle with: two-story great rooms, long runs of glass, and heavy blackout panels that are tiring to pull every day. They're common in the tall living rooms of Cedar Park, Leander, Lakeway, and Bee Cave.
Paired with a motorized solar shade behind, one button can give you daytime glare control and evening privacy.

Good to know
- Motorized tracks need power. Battery, plug-in, and hardwired options depend on the track and location; we'll plan this at your consultation.
- They cost more than a manual track, so many homes motorize only the tallest or most-used windows.
What affects the price
- Size of each window (wider and taller costs more)
- Fabric or material you choose
- Lift system: chain, cordless, or motorized
- Mounting hardware, cassettes, or tracks
- Number of windows (larger orders often price better per window)
- Specialty shapes and hard-to-reach installs

Motorized draperies: common questions
Have another question? Call (512) 751-8408.
Can any drapery be motorized?
Most custom draperies can be motorized on the right track. Ripplefold is the simplest, and pleated styles work on motorized traverse tracks.
Can I motorize draperies I already have?
Sometimes. It depends on the panel header and fabric weight. Bring them up at your consultation and we'll check.
Do motorized draperies need an outlet?
Some use battery power and some need a nearby outlet or hardwired power. We'll recommend the right option for each window.
Can I still open them by hand?
Many motorized tracks allow a gentle tug to start the motor. We'll show you how your system works.
Can draperies and shades open together?
Yes. Motorized draperies and shades can be grouped and run together on one button or schedule.
Can I control motorized shades from my phone?
Yes. Add a smart hub and you can raise, lower, group, and schedule everything from an app on your phone, at home or away, and connect to popular voice assistants.
