Zabeel One—Motorised Curtains
March 14, 2026
They Paid for Burj Khalifa Views They Eventually Started Avoiding.
He paid millions for that Burj Khalifa view. The view was the whole point of the apartment. Things were perfect until his laptop screen showed nothing but white reflection of glare coming from outside. Then he got our motorised curtains and fixed this glare problem.
He picked a high floor unit in One Zabeel for one reason. Burj Khalifa straight from the living room. That view was everything to him.
But the brochure never mentioned what floor to ceiling glass actually feels like daily. It never mentioned the bedroom filling with light before 6am or the living room glare killing every screen by mid morning. Reality was different.
Getting a solar film was his first attempt but it killed the view quality permanently and still did not fix the glare. Both problems were still there. He wanted something that vanished completely when open and closed fully when needed.
Fast forward one evening he stumbled across Aura Curtains in an interior design group after seeing a motorised project in a similar high rise. That was enough. He reached out the same day.
What Aura Curtains Recommended
Aura Curtains put motorised sheer curtains in the living room to keep the view open and glare out. They also put blackout curtains in the bedroom so no light gets in and you can sleep as long as you want. Both ran from one app, opening and closing automatically on a set time.
How the Installation Came Together at Zabeel One
Aura Curtains handled all the building permissions directly so the homeowner did not have to deal with anything. The homeowner did not lift a finger. The team arrived, installed the tracks flush to the ceiling, and hooked everything into the existing smart system. Then they sat with the homeowner, walked through everything and left.
The Glare Left and the View Stayed
A room he spent two years avoiding because of glare was fixed by our motorized curtains in just one day. Now the homeowner just sits there and looks.
Mornings in Here Are Soft and Cool Now
He set the timer once. Now his blackout curtains close at midnight on a timer and open whenever he sets them to. He later told us that he's first time sleeping through the morning since he moved in.
Zabeel One Deserved Better & Now It Has It
He spent serious money on that Zabeel One apartment but for months it was uncomfortable to actually live in during the day. Our curtains did not upgrade his apartment but made it work the way it always should have.
The Whole Residence Runs From One App
He set his morning and evening scenes once and never touched them again. Today, the apartment adjusts itself daily. Guests come over and he closes every room from his phone in ten seconds. Nobody even sees him do it. That is just normal life now.
