What are roller blinds for windows?

Solid fabric material without folds, gathers. There are two types: open, closed. When the system is open, they fall freely, do not stretch along the side lines. A weighting weight is fixed at the bottom of the material. Allows the canvas to stretch without wrinkling.

Roller blinds

Recently, interiors have been characterized by minimalism. Luxurious sofas, tiered chandeliers, curtains with lambrequins - these elements are classics, but they are less and less common in residential buildings and commercial premises. Simplicity is in fashion, which is combined with grace. Roller blinds fully comply with these parameters. They do not take up much space, they look quite concise, are easy to use and maintain, and with regard to design, it all depends on your imagination.

How is it done?

A shaft with a fixed canvas is installed in the window opening or above it. A separate piece is provided for each sash. Some models have a box, cornice and guides, one of the functions of which is decorative. The set includes special brackets that are so easy to use that you can install an interior element without the participation of specialists. Depending on the type of construction, size and your personal preference, there are two control methods to choose from:

Manual

- the chain, located on one side of the canvas, sets the shaft in motion, and the fabric is wound around it, opening the window. For less effort, a spring mechanism can be integrated into the system.

Automatic

- carried out using the remote control. Suitable for managing large heavy canvases or for rooms with a large number of windows.

High quality canvases are used for manufacturing. The most common roller blinds are made of polyester, because this material is quite dense. It perfectly protects the room from the penetration of excess light. At the same time, the appearance of the curtains does not deteriorate over time, the colors do not fade, and the fabric itself is treated with a dust-repellent impregnation.Cotton and linen blinds are more environmentally friendly. As a rule, they are chosen for certain interiors.

Roller blinds in the interior

The appearance of the canvas and the type of construction are selected individually for each room. They depend on the purpose of the room (kitchen, bedroom, nursery; cafe, office), its design, window size.

Types of structures:

• Mini
  - designed for plastic windows and are attached directly to the frame. Low weight is achieved due to the small radius of the shaft and the absence of a box and guides.
• Uni-1
  Is a complete design. The guides are located so that they become, as it were, a continuation of the vertical frames. In this case, the fabric adheres to the glass, and the blinds seem to be an integral part of the window.
• Uni-2
  - are similar to the previous type. They are used if the frame is uneven or not deep enough. The guides fit into the frame and a small gap is created between the fabric and the glass.

Some varieties:

• Transparent - light airy canvases are perfect for a gazebo;
• Blackout - opaque fabrics will create a special atmosphere in the bedroom;
• Zebra - dense and transparent materials alternate so that you can control the amount of natural light;
• Antibacterial - often used in the kitchen;
• With photo printing - cartoon characters will bring the nursery to life, intricate patterns will decorate the living room, and various emblems and slogans will perfectly fit into the office.

How to choose the right roller blinds for plastic windows?

Do you buy finished products at retail? Check out a few nuances.

• The principle of operation of windows. Sliding, standard. When sliding, one sash will run over the other. Makes it impossible to attach to the frame. Standard means there are two kinds of component parts. The first are motionless, deaf. For such, you can choose any kind of curtains. The second ones change their position in space to “open”, “closed”, “airing”. So that in any position of the sash the fabric does not sag, it is tightly stretched, you should choose a closed system.

An open roller blind can be attached to any window, but it will hang on the movable sash

Additional information: all types of fastening will be discussed in detail in the continuation of the article.

• Are you choosing a curtain for opening mechanisms and want to attach it to the frame? You need to choose the right size. Important! When the window will open, the roller should not rest against the slope. Otherwise, it will not work properly until the end, while scratching the slope itself.

Design features and advantages

Such products got their name "mini" for their very modest dimensions. At the same time, one should not at all think that these devices for hanging curtains are really crumbs - the dimensions of the largest models of this series can reach one and a half meters in length. At the same time, they have other features:

• Installation of most types of such curtains takes place without drilling - on special latches that firmly hold the bar in place or on double-sided tape.
• It is possible to choose the color of the guide and the material from which it will be made.
• The rod, which serves as the base for the curtain, is located very close to the surface on which the bracket is attached - about two centimeters. This makes it possible to save space.
• The design of the guide is telescopic, which allows you to change the size of the device as needed. There are several sizes of devices with different parameters - from 40 to 120 centimeters with the ability to push the bar even further.
• You can attach such devices not only to the window, but also to other surfaces.
• The weight of the bar is very small and it will not affect the operation of the windows in any way.
• If necessary, you can choose a model with a different type of fastening - spacer or self-tapping screws.

Often, mini curtain rods are used not only to decorate plastic windows, but are also attached to interior or entrance doors with glazing. This allows you to cover the transparent part of the door with a curtain and add privacy to the room. In addition, this door design gives the interior a special style and charm.

Roller blinds for windows, installation methods

Come disassembled. Before installation, check the presence of the components. Assemble. It is extremely simple. The roll mechanism with fabric material is drowned on one side by a chain mechanism. On the other hand, with a decorative tip. Brackets, box, guides, clamps go separately. The complete set depends on the selected model.

Open roller blinds device

Open, closed systems are similar in assembly and installation methods. They have several significant differences.

Installation on scotch tape

How to install curtains on double-glazed windows? Only the glass is closed. The window frame is not affected. Construction double-sided tape is suitable. Before the process itself, the surface is degreased. Ordinary acetone is used.

1. Marks of attachment points are made.
2. We glue the scotch tape on the glass unit.
3. We tear off the protective film from the second side.
4. Fasten the roller curtain evenly.

The sequence of installation of curtains on double-sided tape

The method is quite reliable and durable. There is a definite plus. When changing the curtain, there will be no marks on the glass. When installing on a window sash, the described method is used with double-sided tape.

For self-tapping screws

Don't the methods discussed earlier seem robust enough? Apply self-tapping screws.

Required tools:

• Plastic brackets.
• Self-tapping screws.
• Drill, screwdriver.
• Level.

The procedure for installing curtains on self-tapping screws

First, we outline the places for drilling. We use the level. The hand may tremble - the fabric will hang crooked. The level will eliminate such a nuisance. We fasten the brackets. We put on a roll of canvas. After such manipulations, you can be sure that the mechanism will not move out or skew. Minus - after dismantling, holes will remain on the window frame.

On brackets

Are the holes unwanted? Manufacturers offer clip fasteners. Put on over the sash. Fixed with clamps. The thickness is small.Will not interfere with normal operation. The method is suitable for moving parts.

Installation of curtains with fishing line on hinged plastic brackets

Spring clamps. U-shaped. The shoulders are slightly shifted towards each other. Due to this, they are pulled tightly onto the sash.

Note! With all these fasteners, it should be borne in mind that the components should not interfere with the window mechanisms. We talked about the correct measurement of the width. One more point - the handle on the moving parts should work normally.

On the doorway

The set for such curtains for plastic windows includes corner fasteners. Can be fixed with self-tapping screws. They are mounted both on the side and on the upper parts of the opening.

Mounting options for roller blinds

It is better to do the markup using a level. Screw in the fasteners clearly in the corners. Feature - the entire window area is completely closed.

Corner brackets are used for wall and ceiling mounting

Installation of closed systems

Only possible on the frame. Additionally, the installation of a box, guides is required. The box is attached to the roller with short self-tapping screws. Decorative plugs are put on top. Guides can be of two types: aluminum strips, strings. In the first case, they are installed using scotch tape. We discussed the principle of working with construction tape in the previous block of the article. The peculiarity is that they should be clearly parallel, tightly in contact with the window surface. Otherwise, the curtain simply won't work. For string guides, the set must have special fasteners for tension. Screwed down at the bottom of the window. The fabric shaft has functional hooks into which the string is inserted.

Installing a cassette blind with side guides

Additional Information. For roof windows, only closed-plan mechanisms are suitable. Since they are constantly under a steep slope, it will be impossible to ensure the practical use of the blade without guides.

Choosing curtains for the purpose of the room

Roman blinds are good because they combine the functionality of blinds and the sophistication of curtains. This does not interfere with combining them with ordinary curtains when it comes to decorating a window in the living room. The choice of the type of canvas depends on the design of this room. The classic version is plain thick curtains made of linen, tapestry, jacquard. When choosing a material with a print, you need to remember that its shade should repeat the color of the decoration in the living room. Double roman blinds are often used to decorate the windows in this room. These are light filters with canvases of different densities, often contrasting in color. One of them plays the role of tulle, the second - curtains.

Bedroom

- the room that needs to create a calm, warm atmosphere. It is better to choose Roman shades for this room in the same calm tones. The canvas can overlap with the texture or color of the upholstery of furniture, other textiles in the room. To create the right atmosphere for a healthy sleep, it is better to choose curtains made of thick material. The best option is blackout fabric. Thick, opaque curtains go well with light tulle.

Curtains in the children's room

should be cheerful, with an interesting print. But this rule applies provided that the decoration is done in more restrained colors. A floral ornament or a bright stripe is a commonly used option. It will not be superfluous to decorate Roman curtains with additional decor - fringe, ribbons, tassels. It is better to install motorized curtains in the children's room so as not to draw the child's attention to chains, ropes, etc.

To the kitchen

it is worth choosing curtains made of polyester, linen, cotton, mixed fiber with impregnations that have dust and dirt repellent properties. It is better if the fabric for kitchen curtains is transparent or translucent, without large and bright patterns.Bright and dark shades are only suitable for spacious kitchens.

Roman curtains in the office

should not distract attention. Therefore, you need to choose light filters with a simple design, solid color. An exception is curtains for creative studios, showrooms. Practicality is an important quality for the fabric from which office roman blinds are made. Therefore, you need to choose a material with dust and dirt repellent impregnation or 100% polyester.

Double curtains - installation features, main differences

They differ from single ones in that two roller mechanisms with canvases are located on one mount under each other. This type of curtain can completely replace boring tulle, night curtains. One fabric can be translucent, it is good to transmit light, heat. The second is heavy, dense. The peculiarity of the installation is that the mass of such a structure is much higher than that of a standard single.

Double roller blinds with spring mechanism

Installation takes place only on self-tapping screws. The double brackets are like a right angle. They are screwed into the opening, on the wall above the window or directly to the ceiling. Then the assembled kit is screwed on. Plugs are installed. This type of product cannot be performed in a closed system.

On the bracket of such curtains there are two shafts with woven fabrics

Recommendations for choosing a mounting method depending on the size and weight of Roman blinds

Based on the above, several conclusions can be drawn.

1. If the material of the curtains is light, then it will be enough to use the method of fastening to double-sided adhesive tape. This option is fast and does not require the use of tools, anyone can handle it.
2. Also, the method with the use of a spring bracket can be referred to as convenient in use and quick in installation. But it is only suitable for windows with opening sashes. This moment must be taken into account.
3. If the desire to hang heavy-weight and long-length blackout curtains prevails, then the installation of a cornice is most preferable. Thus, the blinds will hang firmly and durable, and once you spend time installing the cornice, you can enjoy this creation for a long time. For this, a prerequisite is making holes. It is best to drill, after all, not a PVC profile, but choose an installation on a wall or ceiling. Since if the glass unit is damaged, it will no longer retain its tightness, and thus it will let air through from the street.
4. Also, first of all, it is worth paying attention to whether an open window sill is needed or it is not an important detail, and based on this, select a specific method.
5. If you intend to use a combination of two types of curtains, for example Roman and classic, then the choice should fall on the method of fastening to the window frame.

Thus, Roman blinds are indispensable elements in the design of modern apartments, offices and other premises. An increasing number of people are making a choice in favor of this decor, as many positive characteristics justify it.
