Motorizing your custom drapery requires more than simply adding a motor to an existing rod — it requires purpose-built hardware designed to handle the weight, width, and operational demands of custom drapery panels. CMI offers a curated selection of motorized drapery hardware systems that combine the beauty of artisan craftsmanship with the intelligence of modern automation. From the decorative elegance of the Bradley Gliderpole to the precision engineering of Lutron and Somfy traverse track systems, CMI has the right motorized hardware for every drapery installation throughout New Jersey and New York.

Bradley Gliderpole — Decorative Motorized Rod
The Bradley Collection Gliderpole is CMI's most popular motorized drapery rod system — combining the visual appeal of a traditional decorative rod with the convenience of motorized operation. Available in a wide range of finishes including brass, brushed nickel, matte black, and custom powder coat, the Gliderpole can be motorized with Somfy or other compatible systems. It is ideal for installations where the rod itself is a design feature — such as in rooms with high ceilings, large windows, or exposed hardware above drapery panels.
Lutron & Somfy Traverse Track Systems
For installations where the hardware is concealed — behind a cornice, within a ceiling pocket, or inside a drapery header — Lutron and Somfy traverse track systems provide the most reliable and precise motorized drapery operation available. Lutron's track system integrates with the full Lutron ecosystem — allowing drapery to be controlled alongside shades and lighting from a single keypad or app. Somfy's traverse systems are available in both hard-wired and battery-operated configurations, making them suitable for both new construction and existing homes.
Hard-Wired & Battery-Operated Options
CMI offers motorized drapery hardware in both hard-wired and battery-operated configurations. Hard-wired systems are ideal for new construction or major renovations where electrical wiring can be planned in advance. Battery-operated systems eliminate the need for wiring entirely, making them suitable for existing homes, historic properties, and rental units. Both configurations support remote control, wall switch, smartphone app, and smart home integration.
