When the specification calls for motorised curtains in a principal room — floor-to-ceiling interlined fabric across a wide glazed elevation, carrying significant curtain weight at speed without noise or vibration — the Silent Gliss SG 5600 is the system that delivers it. Rated to 65 kilograms of curtain weight per track and operating via a brushless DC motor at 210mm per second, the SG 5600 is the highest-capacity motorised curtain track in the Silent Gliss electric range, and the track most commonly specified by architects and interior designers on luxury residential and high-specification commercial projects across Dorset and the South Coast.
The SG 5600’s progressive soft start and stop mechanism is what distinguishes it from lower-specification motorised tracks at the moment of operation. The curtain accelerates and decelerates smoothly rather than lurching into movement — which prevents fabric oscillation, eliminates the mechanical noise associated with abrupt motor stops, and gives the curtain movement the same unhurried quality as the room it operates in. In a high-specification interior, this detail is immediately perceptible and is consistently cited by interior designers as one of the primary reasons the SG 5600 is specified over competitor systems.
The SG 5600 is available in three fixing configurations: standard ceiling-fix, wall-fix, and recessed, where the track profile sits within a ceiling void and the curtain appears to emerge directly from the ceiling plane with no visible hardware above it. It is wave-compatible, bendable to a minimum 250mm radius for bay and curved window applications, and compatible with the Silent Gliss Move app, remote handsets, wall switches and third-party smart home systems including Lutron, KNX, Crestron, Control4 and Savant. Wiring provisions can be made during first fix for future smart home integration without requiring track replacement.
As an authorised Silent Gliss dealer, we supply, specify and install the SG 5600 across Poole, Canford Cliffs, Sandbanks, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset and South Coast area. We produce all bespoke wave curtains and soft furnishings from our own workroom and install them alongside the track as a complete scheme. For projects requiring a decorative motorised pole rather than a concealed track, the Silent Gliss Metropole 7650 is the corresponding visible-pole system.

What is the Silent Gliss SG 5600 and when is it specified?
The Silent Gliss SG 5600 is the flagship heavy-duty motorised curtain track in the Silent Gliss electric range. It is rated to carry curtain loads of up to 65 kilograms per track, operates at 210mm per second via a brushless DC motor, and delivers near-silent curtain movement with a progressive soft start and stop. It is the correct specification for principal rooms with floor-to-ceiling interlined curtains across wide window spans — wherever the combination of curtain weight, span width and the requirement for silent, programmable operation makes a lighter-duty motorised track insufficient. We supply, specify and install the SG 5600 across Poole, Canford Cliffs, Sandbanks, Bournemouth and the wider Dorset and South Coast area.
What is the load capacity of the Silent Gliss SG 5600?
The SG 5600 is rated to carry up to 65 kilograms of curtain weight per track. This is the highest load rating in the Silent Gliss motorised curtain track range and makes it the correct specification for fully interlined floor-to-ceiling curtains in large principal rooms, where the combined weight of the fabric, bump interlining, sateen lining and heading tape can push well beyond the capacity of lighter-duty motorised systems. We confirm the suitability of the SG 5600 for the specified fabric weight and curtain dimensions during the site survey stage before ordering.
Can the Silent Gliss SG 5600 be recessed into the ceiling?
Yes. The SG 5600 is available in a recessed fixing configuration, where the track profile sits within the ceiling void and the curtain appears to emerge directly from the ceiling plane with no visible track hardware above it. This recessed installation requires a ceiling void of sufficient depth, confirmed during the pre-installation site survey. We communicate all recess dimensions and wiring requirements to the main contractor before ceiling boarding — early appointment is essential to achieve this finish without cutting into a completed ceiling. For installations where a bespoke Blindspace cassette is preferred, we also supply and install Blindspace concealment alongside the SG 5600.
What smart home systems is the Silent Gliss SG 5600 compatible with?
The SG 5600 is compatible with a wide range of smart home and building management systems, including Lutron QS wired, Lutron RadioRA via RF Bond, KNX, Crestron, Control4 and Savant — depending on the motor variant selected. The Silent Gliss Move app and radio remote handsets provide wireless control without a central hub for simpler installations. We work directly with AV integrators from the design stage to confirm the correct motor variant, wiring requirements and commissioning sequence for the specific control platform on your project. We also make wiring provisions for future smart home integration during the M&E first fix, so the system can be upgraded without track replacement.
