How to make metering mini curtains yourself: instructions for beginners
To select the right roll system, you need to measure the parameters of the window. These will be the following characteristics:
- Opening width The width of the fabric is calculated between the two window beadings. It must be remembered that the width of the mechanism is 38 millimeters, and it must be added to the width of the canvas. Given this parameter, the roll will completely overlap the window.
- The height of the window. The distance between the upper and lower beadings is measured. The size of the shutters is 70 millimeters, it should be taken into account in the measurement. Also added 36 millimeters to the mechanism.
For rollers having flat guides, additional measurements are made:
- opening width (by fabric);
- box width;
- bead protrusion;
- bead width (guides are attached with an adhesive tape 9 millimeters wide, this parameter should not be less).
Important! The fabric does not touch the glass, it is unacceptable!
The opening angle of the window requires that the distance between the slope and the mechanism be taken into account.
Nevertheless, a professional measurer will make measurements better and faster, and the canvas covering the entire window will be installed with high quality, so that the window will open well.
For a system with a U-shaped direction, it turns out first of all the width from one edge of the bead to the other - this is the width of the shutters. It is 20 millimeters more guides.
