The BTX Classic motorized drape kit is a completely customized system for your needs. You should keep in mind when ordering the following. You can make the rod to fit your situation. i.e. you have a 136 inch curtain you can order a 136 inch motorized rod. In this case you would choose size 133 - 144 and enter in 136 inches in the width field. The next drop down shows control options. If you ordering 1 rod you would choose a control option either a remote which is wall mountable or wall switch or both. Most people only need the remote. You would choose no control option if you ordered multiple rods and you only wanted to use 1 remote control. The Classic comes with a 160 lb motor (can handle up to 36 feet of track) this should work for most situations unless you have really heavy drapes and one of the longer rods over 36 feet. Contact us if you have a large installation and we can recommend the motor. You would then choose either split draw or one way draw option. We do program and test everything before shipping so let us know how you would like the systems programmed. If you want a custom splice location, please let us know as well. If you need a curved track, we require a track layout diagram with running lengths and radius measurements (look in accessories section to add option). Full templates are preferred for precision fabrication. The last choice is the wall mount or ceiling mount. The ceiling mount is flush mount to ceiling and the wall mount comes with adjustable 4 to 6 inch wall brackets which should work for most situations.
