Motorized Curtain Track Dealer Sample Request Checklist

State what the sample needs to prove. It may be for a showroom display, an installer practice run, a designer approval, an integration test or an early project presentation. These uses need different lengths, hardware and documentation. A display sample may focus on appearance and operation; an installation evaluation needs enough detail to test fixing, carriers, joining and end stops. If the request supports a tender or a client review, say which features must be shown and which are only provisional.

It also helps to identify the planned curtain type and approximate loading direction, without treating those preliminary notes as final engineering data. A short sample cannot confirm performance for every finished opening. Final track, motor and control compatibility must always be checked against the selected configuration and project conditions.

Describe the physical route before choosing a sample length. A straight track is usually the simplest reference, but a curved route needs a drawing or measured curve. L-shaped and U-shaped layouts need the turning points, legs and intended movement path identified. A photograph, ceiling plan or hand sketch with dimensions is more helpful than a shape name alone. For curved work, see the curved motorized curtain track application for an example of the kind of layout discussion that should be separated from final project claims.

Confirm whether the finished curtain will be single-opening or centre-opening. Note the stack side or meeting point, whether the opening direction is fixed, and any areas where a curtain must clear furniture, glazing or a wall return. Ask for a sample length that can demonstrate the relevant detail: a short straight section may be enough for profile and bracket review, while a shaped sample may need sufficient length to show the bend and carrier movement. The final sample length and track segmentation should be confirmed after the drawing is reviewed.

• Track route: straight, curved, L-shaped or U-shaped.
• Opening method: single-opening or centre-opening, with the intended stack direction.
• Approximate finished opening dimensions and a sketch or photo where available.
• Requested sample length and the exact feature it needs to demonstrate.
• Any curve radius, corner transition, ceiling feature or obstruction that affects the route.

Specify ceiling mounting or wall mounting early. The mounting surface, available fixing depth and surrounding finish can affect bracket selection and spacing. A ceiling-mounted showroom board is not necessarily representative of a wall-mounted installation on site. If the sample will be fixed to a mock-up, provide a photo or a description of the substrate rather than assuming a universal fixing method.

List the accessories needed for the demonstration: brackets, carriers, master carriers, end caps, joining pieces, drive belts or cords where relevant, and any support hardware. The aim is not to order every possible spare part. It is to make sure the sample shows the parts that the evaluator needs to inspect or install. For broader product context, review the motorized curtain track systems page and then confirm the final accessory set for the selected track.

Say whether the evaluation is for a rechargeable motor direction or a wired-power direction. Rechargeable and wired systems create different expectations for power access, commissioning and maintenance. Do not assume that a motor shown in a sample is approved for a later project; the final motor choice depends on track length, curtain arrangement, control needs, electrical provision and the final project configuration.

Describe the control path you want to explore: handheld remote control, app-based control, voice-assistant direction, a gateway or a wired integration approach such as RS485. Identify whether this is a simple operation demonstration, a future integration study or a requirement from a control consultant. Protocol availability and interoperability must be confirmed with the final motor, controller, gateway and project configuration before ordering.

• Power preference: rechargeable or wired, and what power access exists for the test.
• Control direction: remote, app, voice, gateway or RS485-oriented integration.
• Whether a demonstration, commissioning check or integration assessment is required.
• Any requested remote buttons, control groups or scene behaviour, marked as requirements to evaluate.

A complete request avoids the common back-and-forth that happens after a sample has already been specified. Include the company role, sample purpose, drawing or photos, desired track geometry, mounting preference, opening direction, sample length and proposed control direction. Then provide the destination country, city and postal or ZIP code. The destination information is needed to assess transport options; it is not a promise of a particular freight price, tax treatment or delivery date.

If you need a broader evaluation package, the motorized blinds sample kit page explains how a focused sample discussion can be organised alongside other product questions. Dealers can also use dealer support resources when preparing a repeatable quoting or display process.

• Company role and the sample’s sales, design, installation or integration purpose.
• Track drawing, photos and key measurements, including shape and mounting surface.
• Single-opening or centre-opening direction, plus requested sample length.
• Rechargeable or wired preference and the control direction to assess.
• Required brackets and accessories for the evaluation.
• Destination country, city and postal/ZIP code for transport review.
• A contact route for technical follow-up, without assuming a final project commitment.

Can a short sample prove the complete installation?

It can demonstrate selected profile, movement, mounting or control questions, but it does not replace final engineering review for a complete opening. Final compatibility should be checked against the project configuration.

Should a curved track request include a radius?

Yes. Supply a measured drawing, template or clear dimensions whenever possible. Shape, radius, track route and mounting position affect what can be evaluated.

Can one sample cover remote, app, voice and RS485 control?

Treat those as separate control directions to assess. The available option must be confirmed with the final motor, controller, gateway and project configuration.
