Silent Gliss 7650 - 50mm Electric Curtain Pole - Basic Switch Operation

The Silent Gliss 7650 Basic Model combines the convenience of electric curtain operation with the clean, architectural appearance of a substantial 50mm curtain pole.

While many electric curtain systems are designed to be discreet, the 7650 offers a more decorative alternative for rooms where the curtain hardware forms part of the overall interior scheme. The motorised mechanism is concealed within the 50mm Metropole profile, giving you powered curtain movement without the appearance of a conventional electric curtain track.

Rather than using traditional curtain rings, the curtains run from gliders within a channel in the underside of the pole. This allows the curtains to travel smoothly along the system while retaining the strong visual appearance of a decorative pole.

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.

Straightforward electric operation

This Basic version of the Silent Gliss 7650 is built around the proven Silent Gliss SG 5100 electric curtain system and is designed for customers who want simple, convenient motorised curtain control.

The curtains are opened and closed using a wall-mounted wireless remote switch, providing an easy way to operate the curtains without having to draw them manually each day.

An internal belt-drive mechanism connects the motor to the curtain carriers, keeping the operating components neatly concealed inside the pole profile.

The Basic model uses a plug-in mains power supply, so permanent hard wiring is not required for this configuration.

This makes the Silent Gliss 7650 particularly useful for larger windows, curtains that are difficult to reach, or simply where you would prefer the convenience of electric curtain operation as part of everyday living.

Touch & Go and manual operation

As well as using the wall-mounted switch, the SG 7650 system includes Touch & Go operation.

A gentle pull on the curtain fabric activates the motor, which then takes over the movement of the curtains. This provides a natural way to operate the system without always reaching for the wall switch.

The system also includes manual override, allowing the curtains to be moved by hand when required.

Together, these features give you the convenience of motorised operation while keeping the system simple and intuitive to use.

Suitable for larger straight windows

The Silent Gliss 7650 Basic 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 the overall length of an electric curtain system. When used with standard rollers, the SG 7650 system has a maximum curtain weight of:

• 20kg at 3 metres
• 25kg at 6 metres

If you have particularly heavy or heavily interlined curtains, we recommend speaking to our team before ordering. We can check your curtain weight, system length and installation requirements to help ensure the correct system is specified for your window.

Wall or ceiling fixing

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

Wall fixing is particularly useful where you want the pole to project away from the window, while ceiling fixing can create a clean appearance where there is limited space above the window or where fixing directly overhead better suits the room.

Silent Gliss offers a choice of fixing options, allowing the system to be specified to suit different 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 your window is shaped or forms part of a bay, please contact our team before ordering. We can discuss the dimensions and curtain requirements with you and help you identify a more appropriate electric curtain system.

A decorative alternative to an electric curtain track

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

With a conventional electric curtain track, the track itself is usually designed to blend into the background. The 7650 takes a different approach, combining electric operation with a 50mm Metropole profile that is intended to be seen.

This makes it particularly suited to interiors where you want the curtain pole to coordinate with other finishes within the room rather than disappear above the window.

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 system that combines practical everyday operation with the appearance of a carefully considered decorative curtain pole.
