Description of roller blinds with standard sizes

What is the difference between rolled curtains and usual curtains? The main difference is in the design of both the curtains themselves, and their fastening system. The material in such curtains is wound on a roller in the form of a roll. Hence the name. At the bottom of the canvas stretches on a special bar, which is a weighting agent and prevents uneven sagging of matter. Thanks to this plank the fabric is twisted without deformation.

Roller blinds - a modern solution for the design of plastic windows

The composition of the fabric can vary: natural and synthetic, depending on the purpose and individual preferences. The most common material for the manufacture of roller curtains - hard polyester. Interspersing cotton or flax is allowed to change the fabric structure.

Rolled fabric curtains perfectly protect the room from the penetration of sunlight

To control the folding of curtains using a chain, spring method, as well as an electromechanical mechanism.

Adjusting the height of the curtains on the window is possible using the latch control chain

Rolled curtains themselves are already the subject of a decor of any room, both in a minimized and in a maximized state. This type of curtain originates from blinds, which were intended for commercial premises. Gradually, these curtains began to "move" and in residential buildings, rooms. Now it is the same version of the decoration and design of windows, like other types of partners.

They differ in that they are not subject to fading and molting, easy to operate and maintain. Thanks to a special impregnation repel pollution.

Roller blinds on plastic windows are made in standard sizes, corresponding to the standard in the manufacture of plastic windows. There are both ready-made curtains, and are made to order. We will consider standard rolled curtains and the sizes on them below.

Plastic window curtains: standards

The main feature of mounting the rolls on the double-glazed windows is that the roller of the curtains is mounted on the frames themselves. With this attachment, the curtain fabric covers directly the glass of the window, which makes it possible to use the canvas more economically.

The most widespread are the blinds of overall dimensions, but the demand for small canvases has increased markedly. Many manufacturers offer their products on the windows of small sizes, so there is something to choose from.

Depending on the type of roll system, measurements are carried out in different ways.

In the construction of a typical urban housing, generally available standards for window and door openings are applied. Builders are guided by the existing GOSTs.

Standard sizes for roller blinds for plastic windows can vary from 68 cm to 4.5 m in width.Curtains of 200 cm by 175 cm are used as standard for a window in a city apartment. If you need to purchase a roll-over porter for each window sash separately, the standard in this case will be 500 x 110 cm.

For a more accurate understanding of the standard sizes of roller blinds, you need to be aware of the standards for making plastic windows. Experts pay attention to the fact that the concept of “standard” for double-glazed windows is rather vague. Over the years, different typical sizes for windows were used.

GOSTs and SNiPs are subject to change from year to year, and already built houses stand, and the windows in them are different! Nevertheless, let us consider in which buildings what standards have been applied and are currently in effect.

If we talk about panel houses, the size of the plastic windows here is 120/120 cm, less often 130/140 cm and more. The window is divided into two - three doors of 60 - 70 cm.

If your apartment is located in a “Khrushchev”, then you will have to focus on the length and depth of the window sill. For a window with three doors, the standard dimensions will be 2.04 m by 1.5 m. If there are two doors - 1.45 m by 1.5 m. In the houses of this time there are also windows with small window sills. The dimensions in this case are as follows: 1.3 by 1.35 m or 2.4 by 1.35 m.

For the most part, plastic windows for rooms in private houses or industrial premises are ordered by individual measurements, so in order to purchase roller blinds, you need to know exactly what window size to orient for. The maximum size of a non-standard plastic window can be made by the manufacturer in sizes 420 by 420 cm. Below is a step-by-step instruction on how to measure measurements from glass packs for different designs of roller curtains as accurately as possible.

We calculate the size yourself

To avoid the possible discrepancy between the size of your windows and roll curtains, you need to carefully measure. Only then your chosen product will coincide as much as possible with the window connector and will allow you to install the curtains on the frames as accurately as possible.

The easiest way is to make the necessary measurements with the help of a handy measuring tape. It is best to measure the frame at several points in order to take into account all uneven places and small distortions.

We make measurements.

1. If the installation will be made on the wall, measure the width of the opening, add 1 cm from all sides. This will avoid the occurrence of gaps on the sides of the slopes.
   

   Calculate the required size of the roller blinds

2. In the same way, we measure the height of the opening, add another 5 cm to the result. If the window has a protruding window sill, then the canvas should not touch it, we take this into account.
   

   Measure the width and height of the glass and sash

3. If the roller shutter is mounted in the opening, it takes 1-2 cm in height and width from the measurements.
   

   We measure the depth of the glass bead in order to determine which system of rolstor will suit us better.

4. When installing on the window frame, the starting points of the measurements should be located on the outer edges of the glass. To the height we add another 4 cm.
5. If you plan to vertical curtain to the floor length with a mounting system on the ceiling, it is necessary to measure the height of the wall to the ceiling, it is desirable to take into account the width of the cornice, if present. Do not forget that it is necessary to subtract 1-2 cm from this size in order to avoid contact of the web with the floor and its deformation.
   

   The standard blade length 160-170 cm is cut to the desired location.

6. If it is necessary to mount the curtain on only one window sash, measure its width from the outer edge to the handle. We subtract from the obtained value by half a centimeter, this is necessary so that the edges of the canvas do not break when the sash is opened.From the length of the sash need to take one - two centimeters.
   

   Determine the size of the roller blinds on the window with a handle

   

   When choosing a finished roller blinds on the balcony door you need to consider that its standard size is 68 * 215 cm

To roll curtains perfectly fit in size and served for a long time, you need to take into account several important factors.

• type of attachment;
  

  Mounting options for roller blinds

• features of materials;
  

  A variety of fabrics for roller blinds

• the style in which the room is decorated;
  

  Striped blinds look great in a country-style kitchen

• the level of illumination of the room and the level of transparency of the material of the curtains.

Most of these criteria are easy to learn; it is enough to carefully examine the catalog of products that the curtain shop provides. Measurements can be made independently. But if you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to involve specialists in the measuring manipulation.

Blinds: types, types, examples

Basic curtain systems

Roll curtain systems are divided into:

1. open;
2. closed;
3. mini-cassettes;
4. large size;
5. cassette;
6. attic system;
7. zebra system.

The first system fits the standard size of a plastic window 180 by 200 cm. The diameter of the winding roller is from 2.5 to 3 cm. You can attach open-type roller blinds to the wall over the slopes or to the window opening.

The mechanism of the open type - cloth fabric in a twisted state is in sight

The closed type of construction has a more complex structure. In addition to the main components of rolled curtains (linen, winding shaft and lower sheer bar), the design includes a metal box that hides twisted fabric from the eyes and external contaminants.

The mechanism of the closed type - the shaft with the cloth is located in a special decorative box - cassette

The advantages of this structure are:

• maximum tight fit of the curtains to the window surface, even in the presence of drafts or when the window is opened;
• longer service life of the roller shutter control mechanism, since the protective case prevents unbalance of the mechanism in the mode of frequent use.

Mini cassettes are mounted inside the window onto the frame. Such rolleta are light-reflecting structures. The roller on which the fabric is wound is in a protective aluminum case, and has a diameter of 1.5 cm. At the edges of the structure there is a guide system that protects the fabric from deformation and sagging. The peculiarity of the mini-cassette is that it has the ability to open together with the window casement, as it is attached directly to it.

Roll-up curtains of the Mini system - are excellently suited for installation separately on each sash of a PVC window

Bolsherazmerny roll designs can be up to 3.5 meters in width and up to 4.5 meters in height. The diameter of the roller of this design is from 3.5 to 7 cm. Rolled canvases of this size are used in industrial buildings, offices of large sizes, theaters and cinemas.

For panoramic and window windows there are special designs of huge sizes.

Cassette systems are similar to mini cassette in design, but there are a few differences: they do not have a protective metal case for the roller and side guides for the canvas. This design looks more attractive in cost. The cassettes are installed either on the frame itself (holes are drilled using this method) or with the help of brackets. The second method is only suitable for installation on the opening window.

Variants of installation of the closed-type roleta (cassette)

Rolled curtains for the attic, too, are arranged on the principle of the cassette, only they are twisted not by a chain, but by means of a spring mechanism. On the sides of the canvas installed more powerful guides. Even weighted materials are suitable for this design.Ideal for a dense fabric for the effect of "total eclipse."

Roller blinds for the skylight have more powerful guides and magnets in order to prevent the curtains from sagging.

Zebra rolls are designed in such a way that in one movement they adjust the level of lighting in the room, without having to twist or unfold the canvas. The fabric in this system is cut into longitudinal strips, arranged in two rows. With the help of a chain mechanism, the bands are shifted, allowing you to select the desired lighting.

Rolled curtains "day-night" (curtains "zebra") allow you to adjust the level of illumination of the room according to the type of blinds

Whatever systems, types, types of roller blinds you choose, they will perfectly emphasize any design and style of the room. It is only important to determine the size. Tightly-fitting roll-up curtains always look attractive. If even deviate slightly from the specified measurements, the drapes will deform, allow for gaps or wring in the process of opening windows.
