The indisputable advantage of the Roman curtains is their versatility, because they are equally well suited for the kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom
Among consumers, Roman blinds are very popular due to their simple design and elegant appearance. They ideally look both at office, and in premises: a bedroom, a hall, a nursery, kitchen, etc.
The design of the curtains is quite simple - it is based on a rectangular piece of canvas with edging, which is fixed on top of the eaves of an open or closed form. Across the entire width, at a distance of 20 cm, horizontal tunnels are laid into which rods are installed for control. Weights are sewn on the bottom edge to maintain shape.

The device of the Roman curtains is distinguished by the presence of strips inserted into the canvas pockets through a certain distance, on which the depth and the number of folds depend
The adjustment of the position is made by a cord mechanism or chains. When lifting, the first lower rod begins to pull up first, approaching the 2nd one, the fabric between them is going to fold. Then the 3rd rod rises, forming the next neat and even fold, etc. The process can be suspended at the right level.

Curtains can be washed at home or dry-cleaned, and the use of modern dust- and dirt-repellent fabrics with antistatic properties makes it possible to minimize care by removing dust from household sponge.
