How Much Do Electric Curtains Cost? A UK Pricing Guide for 2026

What affects the price of electric curtains?

The cost of electric curtains depends on four things: the track or blind system, the length or size, the control options you choose, and whether you add curtains or fabric. Below we break down real prices for every product we sell, so you can budget properly before you buy.

All prices shown are what you pay at Discount Electric Curtains, including VAT and free UK mainland delivery. We show the RRP alongside so you can see the saving.

Electric curtain tracks

Silent Gliss Autoglide 5100 (from around £484)

The Autoglide 5100 is our best seller and the most affordable way into electric curtains. It plugs into a standard socket, needs no electrician, and comes as a complete kit. We sell it at 35% off RRP.

Every track is made to your exact length, down to the centimetre. The prices below are examples at common sizes to give you a sense of cost. When you use the configurator on the product page, you will get a precise quote for your measurements.

There are four models, each with different controllers:

Model	What you get	Price at 2m	Price at 3m	Price at 4m
5100 B	Wireless wall button	£524	£565	£606
5100 R	Wall button + remote	£587	£628	£669
5100 T	Wall button + timer	£676	£717	£758
5100 TC	Wall button + remote + timer	£739	£780	£821

At 2 metres, you save between £282 and £398 compared with the full RRP depending on the model. The 5100 TC (Total Control) is the most popular choice because it includes everything: a wall button, handheld remote, and programmable timer.

You can always add controllers later. All remotes and timers are compatible across the range, so starting with the B model and upgrading later is a sensible way to spread the cost.

Silent Gliss 5600 (from around £1,849)

The 5600 is a different class of product. It is a professional-grade track designed for heavy curtains (up to 65kg), very long runs (up to 25 metres), and smart home integration. We sell it at 20% off RRP.

Length	DEC price	RRP	You save
2 metres	£1,884	£2,356	£472
3 metres	£1,956	£2,445	£489
5 metres	£2,098	£2,623	£525
10 metres	£2,466	£3,082	£616

The 5600 requires hardwiring by a qualified electrician, so factor in installation costs on top of the track price. Controllers (wall switches, remotes, and the Move 4.0 smart home server) are all optional extras.

Silent Gliss Metropole (from around £113 manual, 882 electric)

The Metropole is the only electric curtain pole on the market. If you want a visible decorative pole rather than a concealed track, this is your option. We sell it at 30% off RRP.

The manual version starts from around £113 for a 30mm pole without finials. The electric version (which uses the 5100 motor) starts from around £882. A typical 2-metre electric Metropole in the standard colour range with finials comes to around £1,217.

Electric roller blinds

Silent Gliss 4960 mains-powered (from around £1,290)

The 4960 is a mains-powered motorised roller blind. Prices include the blind fabric (Silent Gliss Colorama range). We sell it at 20% off RRP.

Size (W x D)	DEC price	RRP
100 x 120cm	£1,331	£1,664
150 x 160cm	£1,516	£1,895
180 x 180cm	£1,617	£2,021

Silent Gliss 4955 battery-powered (from around £886)

The 4955 is the battery-powered alternative. No wiring needed, and the rechargeable motor lasts months between charges. Also 20% off RRP.

Size (W x D)	DEC price	RRP
100 x 120cm	£907	£1,134
150 x 160cm	£1,055	£1,318
180 x 180cm	£1,105	£1,382

Vision day and night roller blind (from around £174)

The Vision blind uses alternating sheer and opaque strips for light control. Available in chain-operated or electric versions. Prices start from around £174 for the smallest chain-operated size.

Made-to-measure curtains

If you are buying an electric curtain track, you can add made-to-measure curtains in Silent Gliss Colorama fabrics with a wave or pencil pleat heading. Prices depend on the track length, drop, and fabric choice.

As a rough guide, a pair of Colorama 1 curtains for a 2-metre track with a 220cm drop costs around £1,168. Colorama 2 (a heavier, more opaque fabric) costs around £1,604 for the same size. Blackout lining adds approximately 15% to the curtain price.
