About roller blinds Day Night on plastic windows

Rolled curtains "Day-night" - a new word in the window of sun-protection systems. The main goal of the novelty remains the same as that of conventional textile curtains, blinds or Roman curtains - control of the level of illumination. But due to the innovative technology that allows you to adjust the lighting in the room from complete darkness to partial shade and bright lighting, day-night blinds are becoming increasingly popular.

Rolled curtains "Day-Night" combine practicality, versatility and aesthetics

Description, distinctive features

"Day-night" is an uncomplicated design, which consists of only three parts - a fabric web, a rotating shaft and a weight tube. In the closed type there is also a plastic box.

The main parts of the curtains of the type "Day-Night

The principle of operation is about the same as that of most roller blinds. But there is one significant difference. In conventional roller shutters, the canvas consists of one layer and is lowered only on one side of the moving shaft. The system "day-night" - double, consists of two layers. The fabric is on both sides of the shaft.

The main difference between the curtains “Day-Night” from other roll products is an unusual fabric consisting of transparent and opaque stripes

How do day-night shutters work?

The canvas is assembled from strips of fabric of different density - from translucent to opaque. They are arranged alternately, so day-night shutters are often called zebra. When the shaft rotates, the fabric passes in a circle, the stripes overlap, forming the desired degree of illumination. If two transparent strips are combined, then soft, diffused light enters the room. If the transparent strip is blocked by a dense one, then the room will be in the twilight.

Using the scrolling mechanism you can get one of three options for lighting the room

This design allows you to make smooth light transitions, letting the room the right amount of light. At the same time, the person inside the room remains invisible to outside eyes.

What is fabric made of?

The fabric is made of high quality synthetic with Teflon impregnation. Due to this, the material is easy to clean - easy to clean, repels dust, has high strength and anti-static. In addition to increased functionality, blinds have excellent design characteristics.

Synthetic canvas curtains do not fade in the sun and does not attract dust

Clean the curtain with a dry brush or vacuum cleaner with a special nozzle.

Transparent stripes look like organza. Dense stripes can be made in different variations - plain, decorated with patterns, with a shiny coating. A wide selection of colors allows you to choose a model for any room design.

Fans of natural materials can choose viscose or silk curtains

Types of window shutters day-night

The choice of roll "zebras" in pattern and texture is huge. By design, they are of two types:

1. Open A simple system in which a roll with stripes is not covered by a protective plastic. The cloth freely goes down from a shaft.
2. Closed. By means of a box the shaft with fabric is hidden.

Open

Their design is elementary - the canvas is attached to the shaft with a rotating mechanism. Below is a weight bar.

Open curtains - the most simple and budget

This light-shielding system has several clear advantages:

• Simplicity of installation and dismantle.
• The simplicity of the device.
• Inexpensive price.
• Ability to install on windows with non-standard dimensions.

Another plus - unlike many products of this class, “zebra” can be mounted almost anywhere - directly on the window frame, inside the opening, on the wall, on the ceiling. In this case, there are such fasteners that are installed on the tape. Drilling a window or wall is not required. There are several ways to install:

Closed

The design is more complex, but its basic components are the same as for the open type - the canvas, the shaft, the control mechanism, the lower bar. The closed type has additional details - a box, guides, clips. Under the box there is a shaft with a roll of canvas. The guides cover the side of the fabric and fix it on the frame with the help of special tape and clips.
