About roller blinds on the balcony with sliding windows

Rolled curtains have the form fixed on the shaft of a solid, not cut piece of matter. Lifting is regulated by a chain mechanism. The kit includes a retainer, fixing the canvas at any height of the window opening. Below guide, which stretches the material along the length, not allowing it to sag. Got popularity. Often used in interior design for the following reasons:

• Ease of use.
• Do not require complex care.
• They can be monophonic, with pictures, from fabrics of different density. Fit into any interior.
• Durable, reliable.

Blinds come in an open type, when you see a shaft with a wound cloth

Another type is closed curtains, in which a shaft with a cloth is hidden inside the case.

With the right selection of materials, the holder systems are ideal for windows and doors in your loggia. Will provide not only an aesthetic appearance, but also functionality.

Blinds to the balcony. Criterias of choice

In order to choose the right model for glazed balconies, first of all you need to pay attention to the design of your windows and doors.

There are three main types:

1. Sliding systems.
2. Aluminum windows.
3. Separately, consider the balcony door.

Important. When choosing curtains for a sliding system must take into account the peculiarities of its work.

Components are moving along two parallel guides. Simply put, the principle of the wardrobe. In this case, one sash is on the other. Suppose a balcony consists of four window frames. Two medium can move apart, running into the extreme. In this case, we can fasten the product directly to the frame for moving parts only.

The curtains can be fixed only on sliding doors, the inner plane of which does not overlap when the window is opened

At the same time on the fixed parts there is simply no place for fasteners. This option can not be considered quite appropriate. Only half of the balcony will be protected from the sun and prying eyes. How to attach curtains along the entire length? Installation is carried out to the ceiling or wall. Choose the optimal distance from the glass to the shaft. At the same time you can close the entire area of ​​the balcony windows. This variation will not prevent the full operation of the sliding system.

It is also possible to place the web in the gap between the double-glazed windows. In this case, the control structure is brought out so that it does not interfere with the operation of the windows themselves. But it becomes impossible to hygienic care, since the main part is simply not available.

In view of the foregoing, an ideal solution for such a window construction would be to mount to the ceiling.

Fixing the curtains on the ceiling of the loggia will be the best solution for sliding window systems

More common, common are aluminum windows. In this structure scheme, each sash is equipped with separate fittings. It regulates the situation: open, closed, airing. "Deaf" parts are possible without changing their location. This makes it possible not to become attached to the mechanisms of the windows themselves.

Cassette roller blinds on aluminum window

The accessories for roller blinds include fasteners with clips and tape (not a philistine, but professional double-sided construction tape). They are able to firmly fasten the curtains without damaging the window frame itself. In more detail, we consider the design and step-by-step instructions for fasteners in a separate block of the article.

The balcony door is a separate topic, as it has a specific design and function. As well as the individual parts of the aluminum windows, it regulates its position in space. But most often it occupies an extreme position, that is, it is almost flush with the wall.

Day-night blinds, depending on the location of the stripes, can completely block sunlight or create diffused lighting.

It is necessary to choose the size of the canvas for roller blinds on the balcony door. So that when opening the roller does not rest. In the case of a correct calculation for the operation of the door there will be no interference. The finish of the door slope is not damaged. Permissible installation from the outside. The disadvantage is that each time to change the height of the curtain will have to open the balcony door.

Material selection

The modern market offers two materials for the manufacture of roller blinds.

Tree

Pros: natural, does not cause allergies, original appearance. Cons: it is difficult to regulate the amount of transmitted light, heavy weight, the degree of noise produced is greater than that of matter. You should take into account that a balcony is a part of an apartment, where it is often wind and draft. If you are ready to let not high, but constant noise, this option is suitable.

Bamboo curtains rolled up from bottom to top

the cloth

Pros: the variety of textures, colors, transparency. Not picky in care.

What kind of fabric is best to use for the balcony? It all depends on the effect you want to achieve.

The density of the balcony shade depends on the density of the fabric used for curtains.

Translucent matter copes well with light scattering. Carry little functionality. At night, do not protect from the eyes of passers-by on the street. More used for design moves.

Examples of fabric curtains:

• Organza. Twisted two threads. Happens from polyester, silk, viscose. Brilliant, light. Monophonic and multi-color.
  

  A transparent organza curtain only scatters daylight without protecting the room from anyone’s eyes in the evening.

• Screen. On the basis of fiberglass weave polymer fibers. Does not burn. Protects from the sun. Drawing drawing is possible (for example, the newspaper press).
  

  The composite composition of the fabric ensures durability and resistance to stretching

• The so-called curtains dimaut have a number of advantages. Due to the "pearl composition" repel the sun's rays. At the same time the room remains quite lit. Possess thermoregulatory properties (I do not pass heat).
  

  Dimout fabrics protect from the sun by 70–80%, creating a feeling of dusk, but not total darkness

• Blackout Do not completely miss the light. The outer side pushes away light, does not pass heat. If you do not plan any curtains on the intermediate window to the main room, the “night city” option is possible. Cuts are made in the canvas that imitate the outlines of megalopolises.
  

  The special structure of the blackout fabric allows you to completely block the sun's rays

• Day Night. The alternation of transparent and dense areas. The frequency of the bands you can adjust the light.
  

  The curtain day-night consists of two canvases in which dense fabric alternates with a transparent material.

• Linen. Smooth, matte. From natural fibers.
• Silk. Environmentally friendly, but expensive material. Bright colors, pictures are possible. Brilliant.
• Cotton. According to the characteristics similar to flax. Their disadvantage is that they crumple and deform after getting wet (they “sit down” after washing).
  

  Cotton curtains are eco-friendly, but not durable and are not suitable for unheated rooms.

• Satin. Interlacing silk with cotton threads. Dense, smooth.
• Polyester. Maintains differences of temperatures (it is important for rooms without heating). Wear resistant Not afraid of moisture. Does not stretch. On its basis, feasible photo printing and drawing textures. Moistureproof. Reference option for use on the balcony.
  

  Polyester products do not attract dust and are easy to clean.

Mounting and mounting

How to assemble the components of the curtains? In a set are available: coupling device, a tip and a roll with a cloth. Everything is simple - the chain mechanism is fixed on the one hand. The tip is like a stub with the other.

Device for open-type blinds

In the previous blocks of the article, we looked at 2 mounting options. Now tell about the sequence of stages.

2. We fasten the bracket with screws, holding it by hand.
   

   Fasteners are selected based on the design of the balcony ceiling.

3. Fix the roll on the brackets.

To the window frame

The scheme of installation of the curtains on the sash with adhesive tape

1. Degrease the surface with acetone or banal nail polish remover.
2. Remove the protective film with adhesive tape.

Curtains with vertical stripes visually raise the ceiling on the balcony

With monotonous walls you can play on the contrast. Black - white, white - red, gray - beige and so on. Curtains will be highlighted with colorful spots, focusing on yourself.

Shades of the same color. It looks like a continuation of each other, without abrupt transitions. For lovers of a calm, peaceful atmosphere.

The density of the fabric is selected on the basis of the desired level of illumination of the balcony and the adjacent room

On the sunny side use denser tissue.

Curtains with a bright ornament diversify the interior and create an attractive atmosphere.

Textured. Fresh, not "beaten." It is advisable to choose to finish the walls. Get as close as possible to the pattern on the wallpaper, or shade it (stripes on the walls, circles on curtains).

An alternative to roll products can be sliding vertical curtains fixed to the ceiling cornice

When giving preference to a particular model, consider the practical side. After all, the main role of balcony curtains is still to be protected from the sun and to protect privacy. You should have a panoramic view from your balcony, not passersby.
