Motorised curtains in Singapore typically cost from around S$450 to S$900 per track installed, depending on the motor and the width of your window. A basic battery smart curtain motor sits at the lower end; a premium hardwired motor with hub integration sits at the top. On top of the motor you have the track and fabric, and optionally a remote or app control. This guide breaks down what motorised curtains really cost for HDB and condo windows, how the smart curtain motor works, and what to budget for a whole home so there are no surprises.
How a smart curtain motor works
A motorised curtain replaces the manual pull with a small motor that glides the fabric along a track. Press a button, tap the app, or say the word, and the curtain opens or closes on its own. The heart of it is the smart curtain motor — a quiet unit that sits at one end of the track and moves a belt or carrier that pulls the curtain across. Add a schedule and the curtains can open with the sunrise and close at dusk without you touching them.
There are two families. A track motor pulls curtains sideways along a rail — the common choice for living-room and bedroom drapes. A roller/blind motor raises and lowers roller blinds or shades. Both connect to a remote, a wall keypad, or a smart home hub for app and voice control.
What motorised curtains cost in Singapore
The motor is the biggest single line item, and it varies with brand and features. As an indicative 2026 guide:
| Item | What it is | Indicative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Basic battery motor | Rechargeable, no wiring (e.g. entry Dooya/Tuya) | S$380–S$550 per track |
| Premium hardwired motor | Mains-powered, quieter, hub-ready (e.g. Somfy) | S$700–S$900 per track |
| Motorised track | The rail the curtain runs on | S$80–S$150 per window |
| Remote / keypad | Handheld remote or wall control | S$60–S$350 |
| Hub integration | App + voice + automations | S$100–S$800 setup |
Fabric is separate and depends on your choice — day curtains, night curtains or both. As a rough all-in figure, expect a single motorised window to land around S$550 to S$1,000 including motor, track and control, before fabric.
Battery vs hardwired: which for HDB and condo?
For most HDB flats and condos, a rechargeable battery motor is the easiest option — there is no wiring, so it fits existing windows with no electrical work, and you simply top up the battery every few months via USB. It keeps installation quick and clean, which is why it is the popular choice for retrofits.
A hardwired motor runs off mains power, so it never needs charging and tends to be quieter and stronger for large or heavy curtains. The trade-off is that it needs a power point near the track, which usually means planning it into a renovation so the wiring can be hidden. For a big living-room drape or a whole-home install, hardwired is often worth it; for a single bedroom, battery is usually enough.
What drives the price up or down
- Window width — wider curtains need a stronger motor and longer track, adding cost per metre.
- Battery vs hardwired — hardwired costs more because of the electrical work.
- Brand — premium motors run quieter and integrate more cleanly, at a premium price.
- Control — a remote is cheapest; app, voice and automations via a hub add setup.
- Number of windows — a whole-home install brings the per-window price down but raises the total.
Budgeting for a whole home
Costs scale with windows, so plan by room. A single bedroom on a battery motor is the cheapest entry. A living room with a wide, heavy drape usually justifies a stronger — often hardwired — motor. For a whole flat of several windows, budget per window and factor one hub so everything runs in a single app alongside your lighting and other home automation. Doing curtains, lighting and aircon together at renovation is the tidiest and often the most cost-effective path.
Are motorised curtains worth it?
For most Singapore homes, yes — especially for hard-to-reach windows, bay windows, and homes that want curtains on a schedule for privacy and heat control. Motorised curtains cut afternoon heat by closing on a timer, add convenience for tall or wide windows, and finish a smart home neatly when tied into scenes: “goodnight” closes the curtains, dims the lights and locks the door in one tap. The cost is modest against how often you use them.
Frequently asked questions
How much do motorised curtains cost in Singapore?
Expect roughly S$550 to S$1,000 per window installed for the motor, track and control, before fabric. A basic battery smart curtain motor starts around S$380–S$550, while a premium hardwired motor runs S$700–S$900 per track.
How does a smart curtain motor work?
A smart curtain motor sits at one end of the track and moves a belt or carrier that pulls the curtain across. You control it by remote, wall keypad, or app and voice through a smart home hub, and it can run on a schedule.
Are battery or hardwired curtain motors better for HDB?
Battery motors are easier for HDB and condo retrofits — no wiring, just recharge every few months. Hardwired motors are quieter and stronger for large curtains but need a power point, so they suit renovations.
Can motorised curtains work with an app and voice?
Yes. Connected to a smart home hub, motorised curtains work with an app, voice assistants and automations — opening at sunrise, closing at dusk, or joining a “goodnight” scene with your lights and lock.
Do motorised curtains need wiring?
Not necessarily. Rechargeable battery motors need no wiring and fit existing windows. Only hardwired motors require a nearby power point, which is usually planned into a renovation.
Are motorised curtains worth it in Singapore?
For most homes, yes — they add convenience for wide or high windows, cut afternoon heat on a timer, and complete a smart home when tied into scenes. The cost is modest for how often curtains are used.
Thinking about motorised curtains?
The right motor depends on your window size, whether you want battery or hardwired, and how it ties into the rest of your home.
