Motor Warranty Guide: What's Covered Across Our Product Range

Every motor we sell is covered — but for how long, and for what exactly, changes from product to product. Here's the real coverage for curtain tracks, roller, combi/zebra, venetian, and outdoor zip blinds, so you know precisely what to expect before something goes wrong.

Why Warranty Terms Aren't the Same Across Products

It would be simpler to quote one blanket number, but our five product lines don't sit in the same conditions or use the same hardware. An indoor roller blind motor lives in a dry, climate-controlled room. An outdoor zip blind motor sits exposed to Singapore's heat, humidity, and monsoon rain behind a balcony's zip-track. A curtain track motor also has to pull a mechanical rail system, not just a rolling tube. So the warranty period reflects the engineering behind each product, not a marketing number — and it's worth knowing exactly where your product sits before you buy or install.

One rule holds across every product: the warranty period is counted from your date of delivery, not your order date or your install date. If fabrication and shipping take the usual 5-6 weeks, your coverage clock only starts once the product is actually in your hands (or up on your wall).

All prices and terms above reflect the standard terms published on each product page at spacehomeliving.com and are subject to change — always confirm current terms with our team before ordering.

Curtain Track: Two Tiers, Both Motor and Track Included

Curtain track is the one product where the warranty covers more than just the motor — the track mechanism itself (the rail, gliders, and pulley system the motor drives) is included in the same period. Choose the DIY Set and you get 1 year on both from date of delivery; choose the Customised Track — our made-to-fit, professionally installed option — and that doubles to 2 years on both. On top of that, any unit that's dead on arrival or found faulty is exchanged within 7 days of delivery, so a manufacturing fault gets caught and swapped out fast rather than sitting in a slow claims process.

Roller, Combi/Zebra, and Venetian: 1 Year on the Motor

Our three most popular indoor blind types — roller, combi/zebra, and venetian — all carry a straightforward 1-year warranty from date of delivery, centred on the motor. In practice, the motor is the part that does the mechanical work day after day, so it's also the part most likely to need attention down the line; the headrail, fabric, and (for venetian) slats are checked at the point of delivery and install rather than carried under a separate long-term warranty term. If you notice any fabric flaw, colour inconsistency, or slat damage, the best time to flag it is right when your installer is on-site — not weeks later.

This applies whether you've chosen a plug-in Tuya Smart motor or a rechargeable Tuya Cordless (battery) motor — see our battery vs hardwired motors guide for the price and use-case differences between the two. The warranty term itself doesn't change based on which one you pick.

Outdoor Zip Blinds: 5 Years on the Motor

Outdoor zip blinds stand apart with a 5-year motor warranty — five times the term of our indoor products — because the AOK and SOMFY motors used here are weather-rated specifically for exposed balcony use in Singapore's tropical climate: heat, humidity, and monsoon-season wind and rain that an indoor motor never has to face. We're confident enough in that engineering to back it for half a decade. The fabric and frame carry our standard 1-year defect warranty, since these are the components most exposed to UV and physical wear outdoors and are checked and refreshed on a shorter cycle than the motor itself.

Making a Warranty Claim

If something goes wrong within your warranty period, the process is simple: message us on WhatsApp or email with your order details, your delivery date, and a description (a photo or short video helps) of what's happening. Our team will confirm whether it's covered, and whether the fix is a motor swap, a part exchange, or an on-site repair visit. Because every term above runs from delivery date rather than order date, it's worth noting your delivery date somewhere safe as soon as your installation is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the warranty cover the fabric, or just the motor?
It depends on the product. For roller, combi/zebra, and venetian blinds, the 1-year warranty is centred on the motor — the part most likely to develop a fault over time. For curtain track, both the motor and the track mechanism itself share the same 1-year (DIY Set) or 2-year (Customised Track) period. Outdoor zip blinds split it clearly: 5 years on the motor, 1 year on the fabric and frame. If you spot a fabric flaw, flag it during your install or right after delivery so it's handled as an inspection issue rather than a later claim.
What happens if a unit is dead on arrival or arrives faulty?
For curtain track, defective units are exchanged within 7 days of delivery. For our other product lines, message us as soon as you notice a fault — the sooner we hear from you after delivery, the faster we can arrange an exchange or repair.
Does a battery motor come with a shorter warranty than a hardwired one?
No. Whether you choose the plug-in Tuya Smart motor or the rechargeable Tuya Cordless (battery) option, both are covered under the same standard warranty period for that product line — there's no separate, shorter term for battery units.
Why do outdoor zip blinds get a 5-year motor warranty when everything else is 1 year?
Outdoor zip blinds use weather-rated AOK or SOMFY motors built specifically to withstand Singapore's heat, humidity, and monsoon conditions outside a sheltered indoor environment. That extra engineering is why we back the motor for 5 years — 5× the term of our indoor products — while the fabric and frame carry the standard 1-year defect coverage.
What do I need on hand to make a warranty claim?
Keep your order confirmation and note your delivery date, since every warranty period on this page runs from date of delivery, not date of order. Message us on WhatsApp or email with your order details and a description (and ideally a photo or short video) of the fault, and our team will advise whether it's a motor swap, a part exchange, or an on-site repair.
