Silent Gliss 7650 - 50mm Electric Curtain Pole - Total Control Operation

The Silent Gliss 7650 Total Control electric curtain pole combines flexible motorised curtain operation with the clean, architectural appearance of a substantial 50mm decorative pole.

Unlike a conventional electric curtain track, which is generally intended to blend discreetly into the background, the Silent Gliss 7650 is designed to become part of the overall window treatment. The motorised operating system is concealed neatly within the 50mm Metropole profile, giving you the convenience of electric curtains without sacrificing the appearance of a decorative curtain pole.

Rather than using traditional curtain rings, the curtains run from carriers within a channel along the underside of the pole. This allows them to move smoothly along the system while retaining the distinctive appearance of the 7650.

Each system is supplied made to measure for your window and is available in a choice of finishes, with coordinating endcaps and decorative finial options available to complete the look.

Wall switch, remote control and programmable timer

The defining feature of the Total Control version is the choice it gives you over how your curtains are operated.

The system comes with:

• Wireless wall switch
• Handheld radio remote control
• Programmable timer

This means you can use the wall switch for quick everyday operation, open and close the curtains remotely from elsewhere in the room, or programme them to operate automatically at chosen times.

For homeowners who want maximum flexibility without relying on just one method of control, the Total Control version brings the main 7650 operating options together in one system.

Convenient handheld remote operation

The supplied radio remote control allows you to operate the curtains without needing to stand beside the window or wall switch.

This can be particularly useful with larger windows, difficult-to-reach curtains or simply when you want to open or close the curtains comfortably from elsewhere in the room.

The wireless wall switch provides an additional fixed control point, so you can use whichever method is most convenient at the time.

Automatic opening and closing with the timer

The programmable timer adds another level of convenience by allowing the curtains to open and close automatically at pre-set times.

You might choose to programme the curtains around your normal daily routine, removing the need to remember to open and close them manually each day.

Automatic curtain movement can also provide a useful additional home-security benefit when you are away, helping to give the impression that the property is occupied rather than leaving the curtains permanently open or closed.

It should be considered an additional convenience rather than a replacement for appropriate home-security measures.

Proven Silent Gliss motorised technology

Inside the Silent Gliss 7650 is the proven electric curtain technology used within the SG 5100 Autoglide system.

The motor drives an internal belt mechanism connected to the curtain carriers, keeping the working components neatly concealed inside the decorative pole profile.

The system is supplied with its own transformer and standard three-pin plug, allowing it to connect to a suitable standard electrical socket without requiring permanent hard wiring.

This means the 7650 delivers sophisticated electric curtain operation while maintaining the appearance of a carefully considered decorative curtain pole.

Touch & Go operation

Even with three control methods available, you can still operate the curtains naturally.

The Silent Gliss 7650 includes Touch & Go operation. A gentle pull on the curtain fabric activates the motor, which then takes over and moves the curtains along the pole.

This provides a particularly intuitive way to operate the system if you are already beside the curtains and do not want to use the remote, timer or wall switch.

Manual override

The Silent Gliss 7650 also includes manual override, allowing the curtains to be drawn by hand when required.

This is particularly useful during a power failure, as the curtains can still be moved manually even when the electric operation is unavailable.

The combination of wall switch, radio remote, timer, Touch & Go and manual override gives the Total Control model an exceptionally flexible range of everyday operating options.

Suitable for larger straight windows

The Silent Gliss 7650 Total Control Model can be manufactured up to 6 metres in length, making it suitable for substantial straight window installations as well as more standard-sized windows.

Curtain weight should always be considered alongside overall system length.

When used with standard rollers, the 7650 is suitable for curtains weighing up to:

• 20kg at 3 metres
• 25kg at 6 metres

If your curtains are particularly heavy or heavily interlined, please contact our team before ordering. We can check the curtain weight, overall system length and installation requirements to make sure the 7650 is suitable for your window.

Wall or ceiling fixing

The Silent Gliss 7650 can be installed to either the wall or ceiling, providing flexibility when planning how the pole will sit around your window.

Wall fixing allows the pole to project away from the window, while ceiling fixing can create a particularly clean appearance or provide a practical solution where there is limited suitable fixing space directly above the window.

Different Silent Gliss fixing options are available to suit varying window positions and installation requirements.

Designed for straight windows

The Silent Gliss 7650 is a straight-only electric curtain pole and cannot be bent or shaped.

It is therefore not suitable for bay windows, curved windows or installations requiring corners or bends.

If you have a bay or shaped window, please contact our team before ordering. We can discuss your window dimensions and curtain requirements and help you identify a more suitable electric curtain system.

A decorative alternative to an electric curtain track

One of the key reasons to choose the Silent Gliss 7650 is its appearance.

Where a conventional electric curtain track is usually designed to remain discreet, the 7650 combines motorised operation with a substantial 50mm Metropole profile designed to be seen.

This makes it particularly suited to interiors where the curtain hardware forms an intentional part of the overall design and you want the pole to coordinate with other finishes within the room.

A Flush 50mm endcap provides a simple contemporary finish, while alternative endcaps and decorative finials are available if you would prefer to make more of a feature of the pole.

The result is a made-to-measure electric curtain pole that combines decorative design with the flexibility of wall-switch, timer and handheld remote operation.

FAQs

What does Total Control mean on the Silent Gliss 7650?

The Total Control version combines all three main operating methods available within this 7650 family.

You can operate the curtains using:

• A wireless wall switch
• A handheld radio remote
• A programmable timer

This gives you the flexibility to choose how you want to operate the curtains at different times.

What is the difference between the Silent Gliss 7650 Basic, Radio Remote, Timer and Total Control models?

All four are versions of the same 50mm Silent Gliss 7650 decorative electric curtain pole. The main difference is how you control the curtains.

The Basic Model provides straightforward wall-switch operation.

The Radio Remote Model provides handheld remote operation as well as a wall switch.

The Timer Model is designed around automatic opening and closing at programmed times.

The Total Control Model combines the wall switch, timer and handheld radio remote, giving you the widest choice of control methods.

Can I operate the curtains with both the remote and wall switch?

Yes. The Total Control version includes both a handheld radio remote and wireless wall switch.

You can therefore use whichever control is most convenient at the time.

What does the timer do?

The timer allows you to programme the curtains to open and close automatically at selected times.

This can be useful as part of your daily routine or when you are away and would like the curtains to continue opening and closing automatically.

Can the timer help with home security?

Automatic curtain movement can provide a useful additional security feature while you are away.

By programming the curtains to open and close at different times of the day, you can help create the impression that the property is occupied.

It should be considered an additional convenience rather than a substitute for appropriate home-security measures.

Can I operate the curtains outside their programmed timer times?

Yes. You can use either the handheld remote or wireless wall switch whenever you want to operate the curtains yourself.

The 7650 also includes Touch & Go operation and manual override.

What is Touch & Go operation?

Touch & Go allows you to activate the motorised curtain movement by gently pulling the curtain fabric.

The motor then takes over and moves the curtains along the pole, providing another convenient way to operate them without using the remote or wall switch.

Can I still move the curtains by hand?

Yes. The Silent Gliss 7650 includes manual override, allowing you to draw the curtains manually when required.

This is also useful during a power failure because the curtains can still be moved by hand if the electric operation is unavailable.

Does the Silent Gliss 7650 need to be hard wired?

No. This configuration is supplied with its own transformer and standard three-pin plug for connection to a suitable standard electrical socket.

Permanent electrical hard wiring is therefore not required.

Is the Silent Gliss 7650 suitable for bay windows?

No. The Silent Gliss 7650 is a straight-only electric curtain pole and cannot be bent or shaped for bay or curved windows.

If your window requires bends, please contact our team and we can help you identify a more suitable motorised curtain system.

How much curtain weight can the Silent Gliss 7650 carry?

When used with standard rollers, the Silent Gliss 7650 is suitable for curtains weighing up to:

• 20kg at 3 metres
• 25kg at 6 metres

Curtain weight and system length should always be considered together.

If your curtains are particularly heavy or heavily interlined, please contact us before ordering so we can check the suitability of the system for your installation.

Can the Silent Gliss 7650 be ceiling fixed?

Yes. The Silent Gliss 7650 can be either wall or ceiling fixed, allowing you to choose the installation method that best suits your window and room.

Different fixing options are available depending on the required position and projection of the pole.

Can the Silent Gliss 7650 be used with Wave curtains?

If you are interested in using Wave curtains with the Silent Gliss 7650, please contact our team before ordering.

We can talk you through the available options and make sure your system is specified correctly for your curtains.

If you require another type of control or want to integrate your curtains with a wider home-automation system, please contact our team before ordering. We can discuss your requirements and help you identify the most suitable Silent Gliss electric curtain solution.

Does the Silent Gliss 7650 replace the Silent Gliss 6150?

Yes. The Silent Gliss 7650 range replaces the previous Silent Gliss 6150 range.

If you are replacing an existing SG 6150 or are unsure which current 7650 control option is most suitable, please contact our team and we can help you select the appropriate system.
