Design of rolltov

Types of light-protective canvases are much, but they have common features. All of them consist of a metal pipe-roller, or the rods, on which the fabric is wound: bamboo or cotton material. The length is adjustable using a chain that is attached to the rotating mechanism on one side of the roll.

Usually at the bottom of the curtain there is a steel or wooden plank load, which protects it from deformation, allows you to smoothly hang and firmly lay down to the glass. The latter is achieved using a pair of small magnets that glue on the lower part of the frame and attract the weighting agent if it is metallic.

It is possible to go more difficult and to turn through the guide fishing line, which will hold the rolllet with wind oscillations and opening in the "Fortochka" mode. It must be done first in the upper fasteners several times so that it is not pulled out when tensioning. Move it to the end, impose into a special eyelet on the weighting bar. At the bottom of the frame, fasten small corners with holes for the fishing line. There and stretch it, tie, cut off too much.

Sometimes inside the shaft manufacturers set the spring. In this case, sorting through the cord with your hands to open or close the "Roll", no need. Enough with a little effort to pull over the plumb, located on the bottom plank.

Dimensions

They are different. Length can reach 1.5 m. Standard width - 50 cm, but there are models and 30 cm, and 150, and more. Very small rollers, designed literally on one glass, called "mini". Sometimes they are hanging in the company with ordinary curtains, especially if you need to combine two tasks: make the setting of comfort and sharpened the room as much as possible.

Open

They are also called classic. The shaft on which the roll is wound, is visible to everyone, but the interior does not spoil. Moreover, there is a significant plus. The crossbar can be shortened in the presence of suitable tools. The canvas itself can also be adjusted under the opening, if you have fallen with dimensions or simply did not find the ideal option in the store.

Open structures are most often installed on small windows. For those that can be sick without drilling a frame, from two sides of the upper edge are provided by PVC clamps, there are holes in them, where both ends of the metal rod are inserted. These clamps are held on the fasteners, which are pre-awarded to the wall screws.

Models requiring installation directly on the frame can be planted either on the self-tapping screws or on velcro. The first option is the most reliable, but not everyone is suitable: the warranty is flying on the windows or I do not want to stay holes after removing the decor on the crossbar. The second method is especially good for "mini products" products, which, at the expense of their small weight, can stay on the retainers on the open sash at the expense of their small weight.

Cassette

They, as well as open analogues, are of different sizes, including the "Standard" and "mini". You can also lock them with the help of screws or bilateral scotch. They differ from the previous category of appearance: the textile roller hides in the compact plastic box located on the frame. Yes, and they are not fixed over the opening of the wall - it is a purely window design. It is more expensive than the first look, but look careful.

Cassette varieties, as with a spring, and without it, are mounted only on the strokes, and not all the opening. They are especially demanding on the accuracy of measurements. Otherwise, the cassette does not fit or the bar is not enough to "catch" for opposite edges of the sash. Note that in the unfolded form they close about half of the windowsill. Therefore, if he is busy with the flowers if another decor, better choose the system that is installed above the opening. Otherwise, it will not be completely unfolded.

The degree of transparency

The material for the manufacture of the roll is most often the dense fabric. It may be cotton, synthetics or blended materials. Depending on the tissue varies the degree of transparency. According to this attribute, three types of rollt are distinguished, they are presented in the table.

Type of curtains	Properties
Blackout	Reflection about 95%. Do not miss the light, delay the cold and street noise.
Dimaut	Full blackout is possible only at night, during the day they are translucent. Skip the scattered light, shading room.
Transparent	Do not prevent the penetration of sun rays into the room. With natural light, overview of the inside of the room from the street.

Relatively recently there was an interesting variety, with the possibility of regulating the degree of illumination of the room. It is called rolled curtains day / night or zebra. These are two panels, each of which is collected from the bands of transparent and light-tight fabric. Strips are moving alone relative to the other, then completely the dim room, then opening access to the rays of the sun.

Materials for making a rollside are impregnated with special compositions, so repel the contamination, the dust does not attract, do not electrify. The finish of the cloth may be the most different. It is especially popular in recent photo printing, which allows you to create very interesting solutions for interior design.

Roll curtains on plastic windows

For windows from plastic, special designs have been developed that are fixed on the sash. There are three such systems: MINI, UNI1 and UNI2. The first is a rolling open type that is installed on the top bar of the sash. Uni1 is a cassette model with guides. It is installed between the strokes. It fits tightly to the glass, so completely darkens the room. True, it is impossible to use such a system if the strokes have a small height.

A variety of UNI2 along with guides is fixed over the sash. Therefore, it can be installed on the window of any type. The canvas in this case does not stick to the glass and the guides do not close it. All types are oriented on the size of plastic windows. Therefore, it is not difficult to choose the desired window system. For non-standard buy rollers made to order.

Required measurements before installation

They need to do not even be fulfilled, but at an even earlier stage - before buying. If you fly with width and height, the fabric can interfere with opening and closing the window. A corneal corner after a few weeks of operation will easily open the putty on the slope, it will void small, but ugly recess. Moreover, clinging to the glass handle, the cropped edge will be streamlined, and the design itself is to fall from the lipochk. Yes, and the problems with the dimming can not be avoided - the lumens will always be.

Measurements are performed by the usual tape measure. Deciding which kind of curtain rolls you want, determine the width, the height of the opening and individual flaps. Recall that the long Open Type Rollover you can fit under the desired size. It is generally simple, but you have to tinker.

You will need:

• pencil
• Roulette or ruler
• Scissors, stationery knife
• Handling for metal to shortening the rod
• FIRLES (Side Paper Suitable).

You can work on the floor, because it is not in every house there are tables that can accommodate a port in the deployed form. You will have to disassemble it to individual components: shaft, fabric (or bamboo), weightlifter.

How to shorten the chart

1. Rod cut smoothly to the desired width. The edge is treated with a file or sandpaper to remove the jar.
2. Put the marks on the canvas, exactly how you want to trim it. It must be 8-10 mm already than the shaft. Work only well-sharpened scissors.
3. Hitchkoga, adjust the length of the finish plank so that the curtain is 10-15 mm wider.
4. Now you can collect components again into a single system: fill the curtain into a weighting agent, put it on the shaft, fasten the plugs and minimize the material into the roll.

Watch that the chain is not confused and did not get off from the wheel of rotation.

How to shorten without parsing

• Remove the weightlifier
• Cut the curtain
• Take the bottom of the "pipe pocket" on the diameter of the plank and insert it there.

Installing rolled curtains

With a variety of a rolls of a single universal method of installation, it cannot exist equally convenient for all occasions. Heavy curtains are mounted with screws. Here, without a drill, do not do, as in the event that the fastener is installed on the wall or in the window opening. Some light models have holes under the self-tapping screw, which does not imply any other way of installation.

Fastening the blinds on plastic windows without drilling is possible only if they hang right on the sash. Of course, the use of screws here is permissible, but not necessarily and even undesirable, because it can lead to depressurization of the glass unit and the deterioration of its thermal insulation properties. Without drilling are fixed in two ways:

• using bilateral scotch;
• With special hooks from plastic or metal fixed on the sash.

We will analyze both possible methods.

Fastening for bilateral scotch

The easiest version of the option. Roller or cassette passes on the base. It is important to degrease the glued surfaces, otherwise the connection will be fragile. The advantage of this method is the ease of execution. However, it must be remembered that the glue will end only a rolling weight, so the cassette-type products can hardly be fixed so.

Another minus is the sensitivity of the adhesive layer to increase the temperature. We often have cases when in the summer heat of the curtains simply slide from your place, leaving on the frame that melted glue. For a start collect the product that is sold unchanged. To do everything correctly, you need to use the manufacturer's instructions.

Installation sequence:

1. We make sure that the frame is warm, dry and clean.
2. Sign up location.
3. Decreases of gluing plots.
4. Cut off a piece of bilateral tape of the desired size. We remove the protective tape on one side and glue it on the fasteners.
5. Remove the protection on the other side and fix the details on the basis.
6. We insert the clamps for the roller.
7. Install a roller with a cloth in place.

Installation on clips

In this case, it is assumed that the rollers are equipped with special clips clamps. The latter are fixed on the window sash and hold the roller. Such systems are very simply installed, reliable, can be dismantled and fixed elsewhere. The main disadvantage is the installation restrictions. Some models of window structures do not allow the installation of such models.

Installation sequence:

1. Open the window trying on it clips. The frame should close tightly.
2. We plan plots to install the clip. They should not be a hindrance for opening / closing.
3. We put clips to the place. Additionally glue their bilateral scotch.
4. We establish side locks, insert the shaft in them.
5. It remains to check the performance of the new design.

Installation on a self-tapping screw

Installation is carried out similarly to the methods described above with the difference that side locks are installed with drilling. This requires particularly careful markup. Excess holes will not decorate the interior.

Installation sequence:

1. We plan fasteners location.
2. Drill holes, put the side locks in place, fix them with self-draws.
3. We put the roller with a cloth, close the plug.
4. We prepare the guides to the installation, remove the protective tape with the self-adhesive layer. I lower the curtain by 20-25 cm.
5. We start the cloth under the guides and gently glue them into place.
6. We establish the limiters on the chain mechanism or decorative weight on the strip-weighting agent. Checking performance.

Installing cassette models

1. First apply marking.
2. Using the level, correct the "horizon" of the location of rollers.
3. Drill holes at the outlined points.
4. Screw up the box with a roll with a roll with a roll.
5. If you do not want to do holes, use tape thickness of at least a millimeter. But first, put on the markup, so that the box hung smoothly.

Fastening Rollet "Mix"

Models are becoming very popular that can be opened not only from below, but also on top. We tell how to hang them. Measures are made on the outer edges of the strokes: both in width and height. It will be the perimeter of the cutting of the tissue, and the whole product will be wider by 26 mm - due to the box. The package includes a line that needs to be cut.

Montage sequence

1. We stretch the end of the fishing line into the hole of each mount and tie a double knot.
2. Self-pressing fix all four fasteners (along the pair of the lower and upper) to the strokes.
3. We start the fishing line first into the lower bar, then in the upper one.
4. We produce free ends of the cable into the holes of both upper mounts.
5. Tighten the screwdriver fixture, slightly pulling the fishing line.
6. We stretch the line to the lower mounts and fix it there.
7. Cut the excess cord.

Everything, a tissue cassette can ride up and down, opening the street panorama as you want. The box can be made and fixed, screwing it to the frame through special holes. Whatever installation option you choose, remember that the adjusting chain must be removed away from children's handles if there is a child in the house. Install the holder for it at such a height so that the baby can not reach. We offer to watch videos How to fix rolled curtains.

Rollets are a good solution for any interiors. They are practical, beautiful and allow you to effectively regulate the degree of room light. Especially good for this rolled curtains night / day. For those who do not want to give up traditional curtains, you can advise using them complete with rolls. It turns out very interesting and functional combinations.
