Silent Gliss 5100T Autoglide Electric Curtain Track – Timer Operation

The Silent Gliss 5100T Autoglide Electric Curtain Track offers the perfect combination of convenience, automation, and high-quality Silent Gliss engineering. Designed for light to medium weight curtains up to 25kg, the 5100T allows curtains to open and close automatically using an integrated wireless timer control system.

Ideal for modern homes, media rooms, bedrooms, and hard-to-reach windows, the 5100T brings effortless curtain operation together with practical day-to-day automation. The timer function allows you to programme your curtains to operate automatically at selected times throughout the day, even when you are away from home.

This makes the 5100T particularly popular as an additional home security feature, helping create the impression that someone is at home by automatically opening and closing curtains while the property is empty.

The Silent Gliss 5100T uses advanced wireless radio technology, with the receiver fully integrated within the motor itself. This removes the need for visible wall-mounted sensors or separate receivers, helping maintain a clean and discreet appearance.

Powered by a high-quality belt-driven motor system, the 5100T delivers exceptionally smooth, quiet, and reliable curtain operation. The integrated soft start and soft close functionality gently slows the curtains during operation, reducing wear on both the track and curtains while creating a more refined movement.

Like all Silent Gliss 5100 Autoglide systems, the 5100T includes “touch and go” functionality. If the curtains are gently pulled manually, the motor automatically takes over operation and completes the movement. In the event of a power cut, the manual override feature also allows the curtains to be safely operated by hand without damaging the system.

The 5100T is professionally assembled to your required measurements and can be expertly bent by our trained engineers using specialist bending equipment and excellent craftsmanship to suit bay windows and curved layouts.

Suitable for both ceiling fixing and wall fixing, the track can also be used with wave curtain headings for a sleek, modern curtain finish with smooth flowing folds.

The Silent Gliss 5100T forms part of the wider 5100 Autoglide collection, which also includes Switch Operation, Radio Remote Operation, and Total Control systems.

FAQs

What is the difference between the Silent Gliss 5100B, 5100R, 5100T, and 5100TC?

All four Silent Gliss 5100 Autoglide systems use the same motorised track system but offer different methods of control:

5100B – Basic wireless wall switch operation

5100R – Handheld radio remote operation

5100T – Timer and switch operation for automatic scheduled curtain movement

5100TC – Total Control system combining timer, switch, and radio remote control operation
