The SG 4980 is motorised via a heavy-duty tubular motor with smooth progressive start and stop and precise positional memory. It is made to measure in the full range of Silent Gliss roller blind fabrics — blackout, dim-out, solar screen and decorative weaves — and is compatible with smart home and BMS systems for scene control, group operation and automated scheduling. Side guide channels keep the fabric tracking correctly across the full drop of the blind, which is particularly important on tall windows and floor-to-ceiling glazing where fabric drift becomes a problem on systems without side guidance.
As an authorised Silent Gliss dealer, we supply and install the SG 4980 across Poole, Canford Cliffs, Sandbanks, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset and South Coast area — including on-site survey, fabric selection, wiring co-ordination and full installation and commissioning. For projects where a Blindspace ceiling installation is possible and preferred, the SG 4960 or SG 4970 may offer a neater ceiling detail. Contact our team for a free site survey and specification advice across the full Silent Gliss roller blind range.

FAQ
What is the Silent Gliss SG 4980 electric roller blind?
The Silent Gliss SG 4980 is the premium electrically operated roller blind in the Silent Gliss range, featuring an integrated cassette housing that completely encloses the roller tube, motor, fabric and side channels within a single profiled unit. When the blind is raised, the fabric disappears entirely within the cassette with no visible hardware of any kind above it. The SG 4980 fixes directly to the wall face or ceiling surface without requiring a separately constructed headbox or Blindspace ceiling cassette, making it particularly valuable on refurbishment projects and any installation where building a concealment structure into the ceiling is not possible. We supply and install the SG 4980 across Poole, Canford Cliffs, Sandbanks, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset and South Coast area as an authorised Silent Gliss dealer.
What is the difference between the Silent Gliss SG 4980, SG 4970 and SG 4960?
All three are motorised Silent Gliss electric roller blinds, but they differ in hardware construction and the type of concealment they provide. The SG 4960 uses a 41mm tube for standard residential widths and requires either an exposed roller or a separately constructed Blindspace ceiling cassette for hardware concealment. The SG 4970 uses a larger tube for wider spans and heavier fabrics, also requiring a Blindspace or exposed installation for concealment. The SG 4980 is self-contained — its integrated cassette housing encloses all hardware within its own profile, eliminating the need for a separate Blindspace ceiling construction. This makes the SG 4980 the correct specification wherever hardware concealment is required but Blindspace ceiling construction is not possible, particularly on refurbishment and retrofit projects.
What fabric types are available for the Silent Gliss SG 4980?
The SG 4980 is available in the full range of Silent Gliss roller blind fabrics, including blackout for bedrooms and media rooms requiring complete light exclusion, solar screen fabrics at 3% and 5% openness for south and west-facing glazing where glare and heat management are required without obscuring the view, and dim-out fabrics for living areas and offices requiring privacy and light reduction. All fabrics are made to measure and confirmed to the specific window dimensions following the site survey. We hold fabric samples and advise on the most appropriate fabric for the specific room use, glazing orientation and light control requirement during a free consultation.
