Installing blinds solves many problems with the window decor. Curtains, curtains, tulle, from whatever fabrics they are not made, require frequent washing, because dust and dirt accumulate on them. The density of the curtain depends on how well they skip or block the light.

Blinds are much more convenient to curtains in many aspects.

Depending on the corner under which there are lamellas, they fully open the access of natural light into the room, partially overlap it, gently disperse or completely insulate the room not only from light, but also from heat radiation. They do not need special care, and establish blinds will not independently be difficult.

Varieties

Horizontal

It has become familiar, almost classic wind-protective design with a horizontal layout of lamellae.

Benefits:

• Compactness. Install directly on the window, leaving a free window sill. It saves space and allows you to place the greens on the window in favorable conditions for it;
• Small weight design;
• Strength and rigidity of lamellas preventing deformation;
• Fire safety;
• Simple control mechanism;
• Special coating or impregnation from dust, dirt, odors and fat;
• Resistance to humidity and temperature drops;
• Different materials For the manufacture of lamellas: wood, plastic, aluminum, less frequently fabric;
• Easy installation;
• Affordable price.

It is worth mentioning some of the shortcomings:

• When mounting on the frame, limit the angle of inclination of window rods when opening;
• Lamaders make a characteristic knock or ringing with wind. To avoid this, you need to purchase lower fasteners that are not included and quickly come into disrepair;
• The design is subject to repair in case of severe deformation of several lamellae, but it will cost as new blinds;
• Not suitable for balconies and loggias with sliding windows.

Vertical

From horizontal, they are distinguished by:

• Aesthetic appearance. Horizontal blinds are rather functional, while vertical decorative;
• Ability to cover large square one cornice. Horizontal blinds, as a rule, consist of narrow lamellae and are designed for minimalist decoration of small windows. Vertical models have different width And easily cover the area of \u200b\u200blarge windows, arches and doorways.
• Variety of materials. It can be made of wood fibers, wooden, aluminum, bamboo, plastic, woven and nonwoven canvas, mirrored, blackout, dense. The abundance of materials provides another advantage - color variation and textures;
• Modern I. original decoration windows, which opens up more opportunities for design;
• Easy control mechanisms. Possible both mechanical and electric;
• The opportunity to place on the "curtains" photo printing due to the greater surface and better characteristics material;
• Practicality. Large lamellas easier to rub if necessary, which occurs not often. If in case of severe pollution, for example, in the children's room, the lamella will need to be hygienic procedures, it will not take much time - they can be washed in hand and in washing machine;
• The possibility of installation on non-standard windows (triangle, trapezium, arc, erker window);
• Design is subject to repairs. To replace one or another part, you do not need to call the masters, it is easy enough to carry out it with your own hands. You can replace the lamellas one without having to dismantle the whole design entire design.

Vertical blinds, as already understandable from the title, are a simple and convenient light-protective design consisting of longitudinal vertical plates.

Rolled

Rollers, rollers - It is a solid canvases, more often from textiles, but other materials are also possible that, by type of horizontal blinds, turn up. The height can be adjusted by fixing the slope with a weighting agent on the lower sheet of the canvas.

Exist different types Rolls: with an open drum (for fastening directly on the window) and with a decorative eaves; "Mini" to install on each frame separately and "rolling-cassette" for the entire window of the entire window.

It is the opinion that rolled curtains are the most budget and practical version of the window, but this is not entirely true. Of course, roletov has its advantages: A variety of natural and synthetic fabrics, colors and patterns, ease of care (wet cleaning) and operation, the ability to fix the scope at the desired height, special impregnation from dust, moisture, high temperatures and glare, a combination with other types of curtains. It is convenient to hide the room from the sun, if necessary, decorated with a beautiful tulle window so that from the street there was no visible what is happening inside.

But with such quantities they have significant drawbacks:

• Budget price- it's a delusion. Yes, by itself curtains of medium sizes from the widespread material will cost inexpensively, but it will look boring. To make the window to be full, it is necessary to consider an additional decor, and this increases the cost at times;
• Rolled curtainsin the bedroom, the office and premises with high windows need electrical control. Constructions on the electric drive are highly high, and some manufacturers also produced noise;
• Impossiblerun to order a calorie from a specific textile. You can choose only specific products of a particular brand, as a set of fabrics for production rolled curtains Strongly limited: translucent, textured, reflective, perforated, blackwood and everything, perhaps;
• Maximum width Rolled curtains - 280-300cm, that is, to close with one cornese a large area, for example, panoramic window or the balcony will not succeed;
• Maybethere are no problems with the installation not on the wall, but in the opening of the window, since the reel is larger than the curtain itself. On the sides of the window openings will inevitably leave the gaps. Preferably ceiling or wall mount.

Plisse

This variety of blinds is similar to both horizontal and rolled. The design consists of a control mechanism (chain or electric drive), weighting agents, pleated web, which resembles a fur harmonic.

Assortment of material, colors and textures is very diverse.

Features:

• Close from top to bottom as classic canvases, bottom-up or on both sides at the same time. At the same time, the degree of density of the "accordion" can be adjusted, thus closing or upper or lower or the central part of the window;
• Suitable for winding windows incorrect form;
• The optimal solution for attic, attic, ceiling and inclined windows;
• "Opening", the canvas compactly collected into the fold and hides inside the eaves;
• Convenient to install on all types of windows;
• Various methods fastening and control mechanisms (manual and electric);
• The cloth from the woven material can be washed;
• The canvas curtains can be made of two types of fabric at the same time, which makes it possible to adjust the degree of transparency, blackness, sun protection;
• Easy installation can be performed with your own hands.

Pliste species:

• Classic.By appearance The most similar to horizontal blinds, however, can be vertical. Made from fabric, paper or plastic. Designed to donate the room, protection against heating by sunlight, zoning the indoor space.

• Corrugated.This type is a vertical and horizontal double pleate. As a result, the folds look smoother, neat and dense. Corrugation of plastic and paper in this version absorbs a significant part of the heat and protects against bright light.

• Inclined.A variety of Plears is specifically for windows that are located at an angle in the attic or ceiling. Their feature is in a specific assembly system, which does not allow the canvas from any material to be saved, being at an angle. Mostly inclined models are manufactured with electronic control.

• Arched. Maximum flexible canvases that take any shape as a paper fan. Good solution For premises with a non-standard form of windows (arches, trapezoids, triangles, beveled windows).

• "Day Night".The canvas of such blinds consists of two layers of the fabric: a lightweight, transmitting a large amount of light fabric for daytime use and dense, dark to protect against the bright sun during the day and curious eyes in the evening.

Cassette

Such systems assume either the use of horizontal lamellae, or a solid cloth, but are not at the same time horizontal blinds or rolled curtains. They differ in type cassettes (corner, round, flat), control ( different kinds Mechanical and remote), used materials (plastic, textiles, bamboo, aluminum).

Their main feature lies in the design, the special structure of which makes it possible to fix the blinds at the minimum distance from the window glass. It prevents deformation, sagging, appearance of folds and irregularities, fully opens the windowsill.

Benefits:

• Compactness. Cassette blinds occupy a minimum of space, leaving the owners the opportunity to show fantasy and organize an additional decor of the window or leave the windowsill functional surface;
• A simple and understandable type of management;
• Long service life. Special impregnation protects the canvas from dust, fat, dirt, moisture, abrasion;
• Ease of hygienic procedures. Cassette systems do not require special care. Their small surface surface is enough to wipe with a damp sponge with soap solution every few months;
• A variety of design for the interior in any style;
• Tight fit of the canvas to the surface of the glass protects the same good from the heat and cold;
• The ability to mount the system yourself;
• A variety of materials - from easy decorating window to total protection black;
• The ability to combine blinds with porters, tulle, lambrequin.

Methods of fastening

There are three types of fastening of blinds: to the wall, ceiling, directly on the frame, and two ways - with drilling and without it.

The universal base of any attachment is a cornice that different ways Fastened to the wall, frame or ceiling.

With drilling

It is carried out with the help of self-tapping screws, the brackets that are installed in the cornice, fishing line. Additionally, you will need a pencil, line, drill, screwdriver.

First you need to make marking in those places where the brackets will be located.

For reliability and accuracy in marked places, it is necessary to drill holes for clamps. Then applying the brackets in turn to the PVC-frame, consolidate them on the markup. Next, the eaves is installed and the whole design is assembled in general.

Without drilling

If in the future it is planned to replace the blinds or other options for decorating the window, it is not recommended to damage the plastic windows. Holes from self-tappings will remain in the frame forever and significantly sweep the appearance of windows. In this case, it is easier to refer to a method that does not require drilling.

Brackets in this case are attached in two ways:

• behind the upper part of the PVC profile on opening sash (you can just hang like a hook);
• on bilateral scotch, which can be glued, without fearing to leave tracks.

A special approach requires the attachment of blinds on the balcony. An important role is played by a balcony design. The type of glazing depends on the possibility of choosing certain blinds and methods for their fastening. In general, almost all options are available for balconies. Special attention should be paid to the following blinds, since not all of them are universal for different types of windows. For example, horizontal blinds are not suitable for the balcony with sliding windows, as they can be deformed during operation or from a strong wind.

Measures and marking

From how correctly measurements are made, the final result depends.

Even expensive beautiful models will not look good on the window, if the gaps or the edges of the lamella will remain constantly growing about the wall.

It is important to pay attention to the following points:

• For the most accurate indicators, steel roulette is used;
• Rounding the figures cannot be rounded, accuracy must be respected to millimeters;
• When ordering blinds, the width parameter is indicated first, the length is second;
• No window opening has absolutely perfect geometric forms, so the measurements of the upstream and stitch must be made at least in two points.

Horizontal

If plans to secure blinds on the movable half of the window, you will need to measure the gap between the strokes and add from 30 mm, which will prevent the appearance of gaps in the design. The height of the blinds is equal to the height of the window sash.

For installation inside the window opening, measurements are required at three points in height and width, since the openings are not always absolutely proportional.

The width is identical to the wide side of the glass plus the thickness of the elastic seal. The length is identical to the height of the window (including rubber bands) and the margin in 1 cm. For the installation of the cornice, additional 30-40 cm will be required to slopes and loops. Control chain - 2/3 of the window height.

When choosing to fix the cornice on the wall, the width parameter increases by 10 cm, the height is measured from the point of attachment of the brackets to the floor arbitrarily.

Vertical

When installed in the window, you need to determine the width at the top of the arch and take away 20 mm. To determine the height, compare the height of the left and right side of the arch, subtract from a smaller value to 1 cm.

For a wall mounting to a wide side of the slope, it is necessary to add at least 10 cm. The length of the lamellas can be any, but from the edge of the blinds to the floor, it is recommended to retreat 2 cm.

The ceiling installation involves the determination of height (to the floor or window sill) minus 2 cm, the width of the arch is recommended to increase by 100+ mm.

Rolled

For mounting, only one membrane is required to mount the wall - from the edge of the window sill to mark up the brackets, and the width can be up to 300 cm.

In the window, the rolled curtains are mounted after a width metering, from which you need to subtract 4 centimeters, and the length of the canvas is equal to the height of the window minus 15 mm.

Plears curtains likewise do not require a professional approach in the removal of measure and installation.

Installation of vertical models

Vertical blinds are the most convenient way to decorate the window for self-execution. They are attached in three ways: to the ceiling, to the frame with drilling, to the frame without drilling.

In all cases, fasteners are eaters with decorative facade Or without it.

The brackets on which the design is kept is fastened with self-pressing, hang out or glued to bilateral tape. Special scotch, despite the seeming impracticality, fixed very firmly, so it is important to properly apply marking for installing brackets. After they are glued, they will move very problematic.

Order installation of vertical blinds:

1. Preparing tools. You will need a stepladder, a set of screws from the kit, construction level and drawing accessories, drill, screwdriver.
2. Applying pencil markup to install brackets. To reliably fix the fastener, it is recommended to drill holes for the screws at the same stage.
3. Fastening brackets with a suitable way (with or without drilling).
4. Mounting cornice.
5. Installing lamellas. To do this, you need to pull the control cord on which the mounts for the lamella are located so that they get up to the right position. Then lock all the slats on the hooks of the mounts.

Montage horizontal

For installation, you will need a set of tools: drill, screwdriver with a crusade, screwdriver, drawing accessories.

Instructions for installing horizontal blinds on the windows contains a list of items, which is executed step by step:

1. Draw a marking line to install brackets. It must take into account the distance between the locks and the control mechanism, between the brackets (from 60 cm) and to the extreme sections on the lock bar (25 cm). With a large width of blinds and significant weight, it is recommended to use intermediate fasteners.
2. Drill on the surface to which the hole brackets are planned to install the dowels. On plastic windows it is possible to apply blinds without drilling.
3. Installation of the profile.
4. Fixing the upper bar of blinds on the brackets. It is important to remember that the blinds at this stage are already assembled.

Working with horizontal models on inclined surface requires a little more effort and skill.

How to hang rolled curtains?

Like other species, rolled curtains or rollers are attached in several ways: they can be hung, glued, fix on the frame.

First method- The easiest and most accessible for installation with your own hands is a mount without drilling based on double-sided adhesive tape. Suitable for swivel-folding mechanisms on the windows. Step by step:

1. Degreasing the frames of the frame and the details of the fastener, which will be connected with adhesive tape.
2. Platt mounting markup.
3. Installation of rolled curtains. The chain mechanism can be installed on any convenient side.
4. Build brackets.
5. Marking brackets. To do this, you need to install them on the collected rolled slope, install on the window without fastening, place a pencil of space for adhesive tape, remove the scope.
6. Application of adhesive tape on the back surface of the brackets, mounting on the window.
7. Installation of the guide string against sagging. Fucked to the "ear" of the top bracket and weightlifier of the curtains, downstairs is fixed in the tensioner, which is installed on the frame.

The second way implies the mount to the stationary frame (not opening):

• First of allyou need to mount the roll speed, assemble the brackets and install them on the bobbin. Then this design must be fixed on the window to mark the markup.
• Second Step - Fastening brackets on sticky tape at the top of the frame and tensioner for the string in the bottom. It is not necessary to pre-attach their ribbon, but it is desirable to eliminate the problems with the subsequent drilling of the holes for the screws. After installing the guide string, the curtain itself is mounted in the mechanisms.

How to fix cassette?

You can install cassette blinds. Before installation, you need to read the instructions, make sure in full configuration, prepare everything required tools: screwdriver, drawing tools, screwdriver, drill, cotton discs or small piece of fabric, degreaser.

When everything you need is assembled, you can proceed to the first step - degreasing the strokes. Then you need to remove the side caps of the box, raise it to the top of the frame, focusing on the guides, drill holes for fastenings, fix with screws. You can use a screwdriver for this purpose, and you can perform the process manually using a cross screwdriver.

When the box is installed, you need to fix the lids on the sides. After that, you can glue the guide strips to the low-fat frame. Guides must be below the adjock angle for several centimeters.

Important nuances

Mounting work The window design requires certain skills and experience, but if there is a desire to try it yourself, it is necessary to take into account some nuances and features in this work.

Installation of blinds begins long before the preparation of the working surface and toolkit.

The first step of this process - Weighted solution about the type and variety of blinds, material, colors and textures depending on the functional of the room. So, it is more expedient to choose for a living room vertical blinds that skip the light, for the bedroom, automatic rolled curtains with electric fabric blackwood, and for a kitchen, where the smells of cooking and product combustion products are constantly hidden - plastic blinds that do not absorb fat and dirt.

Second important moment - This is the correct markup. Much depends on it, including how easy it will be the installation process. If all the features of the architecture of window openings will be taken into account by specialists when ordering their blinds, everything will pass easily and smoothly without the help of professional installers.

It is also important to consider whether to open the window after installation, how light-protective devices will work, is there a risk of their deformation.

Installation of blinds should be accuracy with marking and subsequent test functionality. Here the most important point is a choice between the mount - with or without drilling.

It is also necessary to provide a type of management. For low windows, an excellent solution is one of the varieties of mechanical direction. Mansard and oblique windows, the windows in the bedroom will suit the magnetic, automatic (electrical) control with the electric drive.

The first blinds that appeared in the sunscreen market were vertical fabric, installed directly on the wall or in the window opening, as well as horizontal, consisting of aluminum lamellas, sixteen millimeters width, which needed to be attached to the window frame with screws.

Vertical blinds were usually used in offices, so few could imagine to establish such a design to protect against the sun at home. And the method of attaching horizontal lamellae intended the need to drill the window. Today, to hang blinds on the windows, it is not necessary to drill the window frame, because if you live in a rented apartment, then the opening left in the frame will not please her owner at all. Yes, and in any case, the windows without traces of drilling look much more attractive. Also, attaching such products will be much simpler and faster.

Thanks to new technologies that are in continuous development, the blinds can be installed on plastic windows with the help of other fasteners, which we are now in more detail and talked.

Methods of fastening not involving drill

So, to hang blinds on plastic windows, you can use the following devices:

• magnets holding the canvas parallel to the leaf open in the folding mode;
• double-sided tape;
• brackets or clamps that are attached to the sash.

The most secure on the damage to the window can be called a method involving the use of tape, since the brackets may damage the sealing gum.

In addition, they can only be installed on the opening sash, while the deaf part will remain unprotected. In such a situation, it becomes clear that hanging blinds on plastic windows without drilling, using products with brackets, you can only on opening sash.

What light-protective designs can be installed without drilling

If you want to hang blinds on plastic windows, but you do not want to drill them, then you will suit one of the following options:

Cassette rolled curtains (light filters)

Such blinds can be hung on any kind of plastic windows without drilling them. As can be seen in the photo, they are attached directly to the window frame, including on the deaf sash, with the help of bilateral scotch. In order to open / close them, it is enough to pull the chain, after which the canvas appears / hide into the box.

MINI rolled curtains

As mentioned above, one of the existing fastening views without the use of a drill is two-way tape, with which special sites are attached to the window, and the bracket with the canvas is put on them. This is the principle of installation of rolled curtains MINI system. In this case, magnets that will attract the blinds to the window and hold them in parallel to him are attached to the swivel-flap.

Uni Roll Curtains

Another perfect solution To protect plastic windows from the Sun, which can also be hung on them, excluding drilling. This design includes a block of closed type and two guides. Fastened with two-way tape. The canvas of such blinds is absolutely not afraid of any bright sunlight, nor moisture, no dust.

Horizontal aluminum shutters

They are a canvas of traditional aluminum lamellas, mounting which can be used using special clamps installed in the upper and lower part of the window sash. Between the pair of clamps, which is installed on top, and the bottom pair is tensioning the cable. For clarity, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the photo.

Roll-curtains of the Zebra system

These blinds can also be called an excellent alternative to those products whose mount involves drilling in the plastic window of the holes. It is possible to mount them directly on the window sash using for this two-way tape or special cape brackets.

Blinds of the ISolite and Isotra system

Using such types of blinds, the plastic window can be operated in all modes installed on it: both in the turning and folding. In addition, they can be attached to the deaf sash. The peculiarity of such products is to make it necessary to do small holes in the window of the window, which, if necessary, can be changed. To find out how it will look, watch the photo.

As can be seen from the above, there is far from one option to fasten the blinds without using a drill or a screwdriver. In the package of each of the products described, the installation instructions must be included. And those who have some questions left, we suggest familiarizing with the video, after viewing which it will probably become extremely clear to everyone.

Cover windows from curious eyes and sunlight Humanity tried from a long time. Previously, curtains were used for this, and now the blinds are becoming increasingly popular. The lamellas in them can be like horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal blinds are divided into different types: Mansard, roller, rollers from bamboo, etc. Such devices have different mechanisms for functioning, dimensions.

They are attached to the frames, it can be installed on top of the block of the window or inside the frames. It all depends on the wishes of the owner of the apartment and the dimensions of the window opening. Most often, such designs are installed in offices, houses, apartments, manufacturing, outlets, stores. Their color palette is very rich.

The product to the profile of plastic windows can be attached in two ways:

1. Using self-tapping screws. This method implies drilling. Disadvantage: After dismantling it is difficult to remove the remaining holes from the mounts.
2. Without drilling. In this case, the entire design holds less stable, but does not deteriorate the appearance of the window.

In order to establish blinds on the plastic window we need:

• Screwdriver (screwdriver).
• Lamella (for each sash).
• Pencil.
• Some time and patience.
• Fastening the bottom (2 pieces for each sash).
• Fasteners upper (2 pieces per sash).
• Self-tapping screw (4 for each sash).

Stroke work

• Unpacking, carry out a cord for adjustment.
• We carry out the removal of the regulatory bar.
• On the top of the product, we need to put on the bracket.
• Make measurement. To apply markup, it is recommended to apply Waterpas so that the upper dice is strictly horizontal and does not fall into the side or down. If the window itself is installed with distortion, the installation is made on the basis of this sash skew.
• We put the mark where the screws will be screwed.
• Check the correctness of the marks.
• We once again try and remove the brackets.
• We take the right bracket, apply to the outlined zone and screw with a screwdriver.
• Similarly, install the second bracket.
• We put on blinds and dissolve them.
• Put on the sides of the canvas fixators.
• Checking whether the mechanism works.

For cleaning should be laid down the bottom lamella and reach the blinds upstairs. We wipe the window and put the lamellas in place. Dust is mixed by a mellowe, after cleaning will be carried out, the aerosol-antistatic should be treated so that the structure is less collecting dust.

Fastening without self-tapping

Usually this fastener is used on leased areas, when it is impossible to spoil the appearance of the windows.

We will need:

• Scissors.
• Scotch bilateral.
• Set of blinds.
• Pencil.

Stroke work

• Unpack the packaging.
• Remove the bar for adjustment so that it does not interfere.
• We put the block with the invalid side up.
• Measure the length of the tape equal to the length of the housing.
• Cut extra tape.
• We remove the protective strip and stick on the wrong side of the block.
• We try on the location of the blinds relative to the window sash.
• We celebrate the points where the shutters will be mounted.
• Remove the protective strip and glue the upper part.
• Well clamp a profile to the surface.
• We put the adjustment bar.
• Check the design work.

Important! Scotch width must be approximately equal to the width of the block. Scotch is smoothed so that there is no bloat, it should evenly lie on the entire surface.

Krepim horizontal blinds on wooden windows

We produce froze

Measure the dimensions, given the size of the window. When installing in the opening, you should subtract from 1 to 2 centimeters. This is an amendment for uneven slopes. After that, we are determined where the controls (left or right side) will be located. After that, it is necessary to determine with the type of brackets that will be used (standard; twist model). Source the length of the handle to control the structure, usually the standard size takes 2/3 of the entire height of the product.

Important! Maximum lamella width about 22 centimeters. There are large dimensions in stores, but with width, for example, 30 cm, no one will guarantee that the blinds will be well open and closed. The recommended maximum design height should be no more than 2, 5 meters.

How to attach horizontal blind blinds

This design with aluminum lamellas, which mimics natural wood due to polymer coloring. It will fit perfectly for adding classic interior. In external dullness, they look like wooden, but less capricious and easy to operate.

• We make hints with a pencil in places where the installation of brackets will be. Between them should be at least 60 centimeters.
• Consider that the brackets should not interfere with the assembly of the blinds, fall into the retainer or other moving parts of the mechanism.
• Confirm them to the sash, wall or ceiling (depending on the preferences of the owner).
• We turn the latches counterclockwise until it clicks.
• The upper part put in the mounts and wrap the latches until I stop turning clockwise.
• Check the work of the whole design.

How to attach horizontal buckle blinds

What will be needed for installation:

• Shutter cross.
• Level.
• Feltaster.
• Pliers.
• Roulette.
• A hammer.

We carry out measurements and marking

It is necessary to note that after installation, the product should not overlap the tolerance to the window handle, did not interfere with it to close and open it. We plan space to install brackets. One of the upper fasteners should be near the mechanism. Because when folding and laying out this place there is a large load and easy to rip the mount.

We mark the desired points with the marker. Self-tapping screws do not take more than 1 cm, otherwise there is a high probability of damage to the glass package, which will lead to its depressurization. Because of this, a permanent condensate will begin, which will disable the window opening mechanism.

Mounting on oblique windows

• We put on the top of the Twist Bracket window.
• Plastic brackets are installed on the bottom.
• Fresh cables on bushings.
• We put the sleeve in the holes of the upper cornice.
• Install on brackets.
• Take a cable through holes on the edges of the planks.
• We put in the holes of the lower brackets the second set of sleeves. Through it we skip the cable, you fix the screw top.
• Fix the window handle.
• Check the work of the entire mechanism.

Differences horizontal from the installation of rolled blinds

Rolled is a single canvas mixed in a roller. This canvas is fixed usually above the window, and the bottom edge of the product is equipped with a special rail for weighting design. This is an open product. They are recommended to install over the window.

The design of a closed type is a box with a roller closure and side dskens that help lock the cloth to the window. Often they are equipped with electric drives, which works from the control panel. Such a system makes similar designs more comfortable in operation.

While horizontal blinds are attached to the wall, to the ceiling, can be installed between the frames (mainly used for wooden windows).

Conclusion

Horizontal blinds - a universal way to enjoy the window opening. Due to the variety of materials and colors, they are used by installing in apartments, private houses, offices, on outlets. Installation methods are easy to choose depending on the desire of the owner: outside, inside the openness, on the window frame, between the Ram.

With the appearance on the market for low-cost blinds, the fight against scoring solar rays moved to a completely new level. Instead of reflective and toning films, glasses with spraying and any other nonsense, it became possible to perform the attachment of the blinds on plastic windows once and use the rest of the life to be unaccompired, but a very convenient device. The installation of protective slats is not so much installation, and the process itself does not represent a special difficulty, you only need to carefully read the instructions for fastening the blinds on plastic windows, and determine for yourself the most comfortable option for placing fasteners on the window frame.

How the blinds are arranged

According to designers, regardless of which systems are selected for the acquisition of metal-plastic windows, they look at the framed of the blinds much more elegant than in combination with traditional curtains and curtains. The exceptions are tissue screens and rollers that are quite suitable for design and appearance to any type of curtains. On the other hand, vertical blinds that cover not just glass, but the entire window opening, can hardly be considered comfortable for home. If, of course, the interior of the apartment is not performed in the office style.

The design of the blinds consists of four main elements:

• Long horizontal strips or lamellamas capable of turning around their axis and thereby change the degree of darkening of the window opening;
• Suspension systems, as a rule, are several vertical categorous or propylene fishing oils, which have been shifted through holes on the edges of the lamella;
• Farmers with fasteners holding a cloth of blinds in a fixed position on a plastic window;
• The control system is most often performed in the form of two cords or plastic rod fixed on a small metal fork of the cornice bar.

In order to close the blinds on the plastic window, in the first case, you just need to take care of one of the cords. Walking lamellas with a rod is even easier - enough to turn the rod several times to close or open a lamellable cloth. Of course, for normal operation, it is necessary to rigidly fasten the brackets or a cornice bar, and only then check the performance of the lamellas.

For your information! All inexpensive blind models, despite the large variety of forms and structures, there is the same flaw. The mechanism of lamellary and fastening is manufactured with a minimum safety margin.

Therefore, before conspiring blinds on plastic windows, it is necessary to check their performance in a suspended state. The main thing is not to make great physical efforts at the first attempts to secure the design on the plastic window and do not try to adjust the fastening, if something suddenly went wrong.

In addition, the plastic window is often ordered and installed with one opening flap adjacent to the side slope. Therefore, before conspiring the blinds, you need to install the limiter so that when you open the clouds, the plastic window frame does not damage the fastening and lamella. In this case, you can use the hint how to fix blinds on the plastic windows, shown in the video:

Materials for the manufacture of blinds

In most cases, the shutter manufacturer suggests a fixed bar on a plastic window or stroke, sealing double glazing, so almost all lamella systems have a sufficiently small weight. The exceptions make up models with a large lamella length or with built-in automatic system Opening-closing, such structures are best fixed on ceiling slopes or walls.

Most often for the manufacture of lamellae, lightweight materials are used, the easier the design, the easier it is to fix it in the most inconvenient places:

• Aluminum thin-leaf profile;
• Plastic stamped profile;
• Wooden sawn planks from bamboo or valuable wood;
• Planks made of extruded wood fibers with laminated coating.

The most expensive and capricious material - wood, despite very beautiful performance and a high price, such blinds before fixing, often it is necessary to customize under the installation site to ensure uniform tension of the web. The most unpretentious and crumpled plastic lamellas.
