Roller blinds on the windows, installation methods
Come unassembled. Before installation it is necessary to check the presence of components. Build. It is extremely simple. The roll mechanism with fabric material on the one hand is silenced by a chain mechanism. On the other - a decorative tip. Separately go brackets, box, guides, clamps. The complete set depends on the chosen model.
Systems open, closed are similar in methods of assembly, installation. There are several significant differences.
Scotch mounting
How to install curtains on the double-glazed windows? Only glass is closed. The window frame is not affected. Suitable construction double sided tape. Before the process itself, the surface is degreased. Used ordinary acetone.
- Marked attachment points.
- Glue the tape on the glass.
- We tear off the protective film from the second side.
- Exactly fasten roll curtain.
The method is reliable enough, durable. There is a definite plus. When changing the curtain on the glass will not remain. When mounting on a casement window, the described method with double-sided tape is used.
On screws
Reviewed methods seem not strong enough? Apply screws.
Required tools:
- Plastic brackets.
- Screws.
- Drill, screwdriver.
- Level.
First, we outline the places for drilling. Use level. The hand may falter - the fabric will hang crooked. The level will eliminate such a nuisance. We fasten the brackets. We put on a roll with a cloth. After such manipulations, you can be sure that the mechanism will not move and will not warp. Minus - after dismantling the holes will remain on the window frame.
On brackets
Holes undesirable? Manufacturers offer fasteners, clips. Dress on top of the sash. Fixed with clamps. The thickness is small. Will not interfere with normal operation. The method is suitable for moving parts.
Spring clips. P-shaped. Shoulders slightly shifted to each other. Due to this tight tension on the sash.
Note! With all these mounts should be aware that the components should not interfere with window mechanisms. We talked about the correct measurement of the width. Another point - the handle on moving parts should work in normal mode.
On the opening
The set of such curtains for plastic windows includes corner brackets. Can be fixed with screws. Mounted both on the side and on the upper part of the opening.
The markup is best done using a level. Screw attachment clearly in the corners. Feature - fully covers the entire area of the window.
Installation of closed systems
Available only on the frame. Additionally required installation boxes, guides. The box is attached to the roller with short screws. Decorative caps are worn on top. Guides can be of two types: aluminum strips, strings. In the first case are installed using adhesive tape. We considered the principle of working with construction tape in the previous block of the article. The peculiarity is that they must be clearly parallel, in close contact with the surface of the window. Otherwise the curtain just won't work. To string guides in the kit should be a special attachment for stretching. Screwed at the bottom of the window. On the shaft with a cloth there are functional hooks into which the string is inserted.
Additional Information. For skylights, only closed mechanisms are suitable. Since they are constantly under a big slope, without guides it will be impossible to ensure the practical application of the web.
Double curtains - installation features, the main differences
They differ from single ones in that on one fastening one below the other there are two roller mechanisms with canvases. This type of curtain can completely replace the annoying tulle, night curtains. One fabric can be translucent, it is good to pass light, heat. The second is heavy, dense. The feature of the installation is that the mass of such a structure is significantly higher than the standard single.
Installation takes place only on screws. Double brackets look like a right angle. Screwed into the opening, on the wall above the window or directly to the ceiling. Then the assembled kit is screwed. Plugs are installed. This type of product can not be executed in a closed system.
