Re: Autoglide curtain automation

["Mike Huggins" <mikeh@xxxxxxx>]

I tried a cheapo version of this sometime ago.

1. EXTREMELY NOISY !!
2. Didn't work very well AT ALL

I'm not saying they are all like this, but the one I tried was. I therefore
headed straight for Swish. Swish is only any good for normal windows. Bays
require another approach and we ended up with SilentGliss at about £2500
per
window EXCLUDING the curtains !!

They are custom made for your window, but somewhat over priced...
