How to attach roman blinds to a wall or plastic window

Roman curtains - canvas, which is attached to the window or walls, performs the function of a curtain. They are suitable for office, various living rooms and kitchens, as well as office space. Due to the structure of matter, the light from the street is gently diffused and creates a cozy atmosphere.

The design of the curtains suggests the ability to adjust the height. The material is permeated with horizontal rods, with the help of which the control takes place: their approach to each other - assembly, wrinkling. Processing the lower cut includes the presence of weighting agent, contributing to the tension of the canvas. The result is a neat smooth curtain, elegantly complementing the interior.

How to fasten Roman blinds

The choice of how and where to fix Roman blinds depends on the owner’s desire to have a window sill in free access or to hide the shortcomings of the window opening (scratches, uneven slopes) behind a single canvas. Because of the mobility of the window mechanisms, you need to make as many fasteners as the sections will be blind. If the goal is to hang a large solid curtain, it is recommended to do it slightly above the window opening or on the ceiling.

Fastening to the window

Attach the curtain to the window by using a smaller version of the eaves. It is usually taken in the same place where the main purchase - under the size. It looks like a plastic, aluminum, steel profile, which is equipped with a height adjustment mechanism (special cord) and a control unit.

There are two main ways to install the eaves: using drilling holes to install the holders, and without it (with the help of additional fastening elements). The matter itself is attached to the profile with a tape-velcro, so remove the curtain for washing or replacement will not be difficult.

Fastening to the wall, ceiling

If it is clear how Roman curtains are mounted on windows, then it will be easier to comprehend how to hang them on a wall or ceiling. After all, the scheme is the same, only the cornice is longer, it is usually 1.1 - 2.5 m. Because of this length, it is necessary to drill holes for fasteners not only at the edges, but also in the middle.

You must do the following:

1. To make marks in the places of future fastening on the level so that the ends of the eaves are at the same distance from the window opening.
2. Depending on the wall, a puncher or a drill with a baffle is used for drilling holes.
3. Dowels are inserted into the formed recess, a profile is applied, and long screws are inserted. It is recommended not to twist the first two until the end, to tighten everything only after landing each element.
4. It remains to insert the cornice in the fasteners.

It is important, before proceeding, to understand what the wall is made of. If there is a plasterboard lining, you will need a special dowel and longer screws so that the curtains are securely fastened.

List of curtain mounting tools:

• level;
• marking pencil;
• roulette;
• drill or hammer drill;
• screwdriver (you can screwdriver, but it is less reliable);
• additional screws, dowels, in some cases.

Note! It is important to read the instructions before installation, some materials, projects require a special approach.

In the same way, curtains are often hung to the ceiling if they go, according to the designer’s idea, together with curtains. It looks interesting and modern.

How to hang a Roman curtain on the window

Masters do not recommend drilling holes in the window profile, because in the future, if the interior changes, and the cornices are removed, there will be ugly holes. These consequences can be partly prevented if one considers in advance which errors to avoid: it is possible to install fasteners on the opening door otherwise.

What rules in any case should not be broken:

1. Attach the eaves with incomplete screws. Since this violates the installation technology, it can weaken the design. This is if it was decided to drill.
2. Do not use "someone else's" curtain rods: the profile is too long, as this will prevent the window from closing, or it will not open at all. It can also spoil the whole look. And an overly short cornice will not fulfill its function.
3. Do not neglect the verification of the construction level.
4. You should not try to fix the curtain without a special cornice: a stapler and wooden bars will spoil the impression of a new thing.

How to install the curtain on the opening window sash

When installing the eaves on the opening sash window you can avoid drilling. The use of additional holders will be the right decision, as it will allow to preserve the appearance of this part of the profile longer.

Types of parts:

1. Self-locking holder. We must take the screws and nuts, fix the curtain brackets on the fixings. Connect with the eaves. Put the resulting design on the frame with plastic resistant hooks. No tools other than a screwdriver are needed here.

2. Universal mount for opening flaps. Here the scheme is similar, it is only necessary to fasten the clad brackets with fastening screws, they are already mounted, and close with a cap.
3. Self-adhesive holder. After fixing with screws and nuts, glue the holder to the frame, only before that it should be degreased. Then hang curtains themselves.

Such parts can be purchased at online stores or at other points of sale of Roman blinds. They go for two pieces in a pack, which is enough for one flap. If there are several windows in the room with opening compartments, then it is necessary to order the required number plus one (as a reserve or in case of breakage, marriage).

Installation Recommendations

It is recommended to read the instructions on how to properly handle the device so that in case of a breakdown it can be repaired under warranty. After all, if violations are discovered during operation, the owner will repair the goods at his own expense.

It is also not worthwhile to place many hopes that the fasteners and the eaves will be reliable if the manufacturer has a dubious reputation on the packaging and the price is below average. A quality product is not sold at a low cost, it is contrary to the rules of trade.

Advice of experts: how to fix the design of the Roman blinds for a long time:

• The reliability of the design can be achieved if you need to tighten the screwdriver in the proper way to tighten the bolts and screws.

• Also, if the owner lacks confidence in his abilities, as well as experience in installing a durable construction of Roman curtains, it is recommended to turn to professionals for help. This is not an expensive service, but reliability is worth it. After all, a specialist will certainly take into account all the nuances, take with him specialized tools and do his job as well as possible.
