How to securely secure the cornice for the curtains, correctly arrange it relative to the window and are there any structural features that need to be taken into account during the purchase? We answer these and other questions.
What is important to consider when buying a baguette
Before you figure it out how to install a curtain cornice on the wall, we will tell you what to pay attention to when buying a product. The market presents different designs:
- tube;
- framework;
- string;
- Rack.
Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. They must be considered. But on the installation Great influence is only the type of brackets that products are completed. Depending on the material, several options are distinguished:
- Plastic. The cheapest, but the most fragile. They are great for tunnels and lungs Gardin. When hanging heavy blades, the fastener saves, and with time burst.
- Wooden. Help to realize bright design solutions. Their strength directly depends on the quality of manufacture. Therefore, components need to carefully examine, monitor the absence of bitch, chips and cracks.
- Metal. The most reliable and durable cornices for curtains. If the budget allows, preference must be given to them.
Each of the options has its own design features. Many of them affect the appearance only. But the type of mounting plate determines the reliability of attachment to the wall:
- Three-point. Makes it possible to firmly fix Design and avoid turning the rod holder. This is the perfect option for installation in concrete and wood. If the holes are located close to each other, the installation of porous materials is complicated: aerated concrete, hollow brick and others. The fragment of a weakened surface can be cooled or split.
- Single-point. The only hole under the dowel is in the middle of the installation "cup". At the same time, under the weight of heavy curtains, the bracket may slightly roll down. But it makes it possible to firmly fasten Its to the surface of hollow materials. It is enough to choose a dowel of the desired type and length.
If you have to fix the three-point "cup" to the hollow base, we score the carrier dowel only into the upper hole. In the other two we twist small screws to avoid turning the bracket.
We are determined with the place of attachment of the cornice for curtains to the wall
Depending on the location of the baguette relative to the window, the same curtains can look different. With their help, you can focus the status of the interior or visually increase the height of the ceiling. But, before talking about the design, we give the minimum requirements for the location of the baguette. He must:
- There is no lower than 5 cm from the top edge of the window slop.
- Perform a side outside the window by 30-50 cm.
- To defend from the window opening so that the curtains do not cling to radiators and the windowsill.
The listed criteria are based on ergonomics. You get:
- Full opening of the curtain with a maximum light opening;
- the ability to put the window to ventilate with dreadful curtains;
- Convenience when tashoring Gardin.
In addition to ergonomics, the location of the curtain cornice affects the design of the room. We give the three most popular options for its placement:
- According to minimum requirements. Visually window opening becomes less. Due to this, attention does not attach attention. This method is well suited when you need to concentrate on the decorative decoration decoration.
- Installing exactly in the middle between Window and ceiling. This installation option is best when the ceiling is higher than the standard 2.8 m. You carefully frame the window opening and do not hide the room decoration.
- Under the overlapping. You disguise the narrow lane of wallpaper and visually increase the height of the ceiling.
How to attach cornis to the wall: step by step instructions
The presented sequence of actions allows you to securely secure the wall-mounted baguette of any type.Place installation sites
Collapsible structures pre-assemble the finished product according to the manufacturer's instructions. Due to this you do not have to calculate the distances Between the support details, given the size of the decorative elements and plugs. We simply measure all the necessary distances and carry them on the wall in the following sequence:
- We make a simple pencil on the wallpaper vertical serif in the center of the window.
If you do the work for the first time, it may not be possible to put the markup correctly. In order not to smear the pencil on the wallpaper, we make marks on the painting tape (paper tape), which is easily dugs and leaves no traces.
In the desired height, we spend several horizontal wrapping in the places of installation of fasteners.
The required size is laying off from the ceiling by roulette. This allows you to smooth the curvature if the level of the overlap is not horizontally.
- From the middle of the window opening to the sides, we put the distance equal to half the width between the mounting cups.
It is important to make sure that the wiring wires are missing at the fasteners. To do this, we draw with the project or control the electrical tip indicator.
- We apply the supports of the holders and mark the points under the opening.
For narrow windows there are enough two attachment points along the edges. In wide cornices, it is necessary to provide intermediate support. Specific distances depend on the rigidity of products and are regulated by the manufacturer. If there are no special indications, the number of brackets is determined by the length of the guides:
- Up to 2.0 m - 2 holders;
- 2.0-4.0 m - 3 holders.
Under the flat plastic tires we make a markup in 60 cm increments.
When driving, the curtains often happens that they go further than need. You have to get across them and corrected. To avoid this, leave a distance for one ring with a clothespin between the point of attachment and the plug. It holds the curtain in the extreme position.
Krepim brackets
Most eaves manufacturers are equipped with regular fasteners. But it is not always possible to use it. The fastening option should be selected based on the material of the walls:
- For concrete, classic dowels with plastic spacer sleeves are suitable.
- Plasterboard is better attached to metal screws in places of installation of the guide profile. In the absence of a carrier element, it is necessary to use "Butterflies" - this is a dowel sleeve, which are revealed when twisting the self-pressing.
- For foam blocks apply special plastic sleeves. Their most important difference is a high thread with a large step, direct or on a cone.
In the noted points drill holes corresponding to the selected fastener in diameter and depth. Install a dowel sleeve, put the mounting plate and screw it with its screws.
When drilling holes, a lot of dust is formed, which settles on the wallpaper. Especially if they have a textured surface. Therefore, it is better to use perforators with dustproof.
Get rid of dust without special equipment will help the postal envelope or "pockets" of the paper from folded in half. Just glue it with a tape under the future hole. All dust is listed inside and the surface remains clean.
Collect the cornice for curtains
We insert the holders of guide rods into the mounting cups or mounting plates. Depending on the design features, we retard them on the thread or clamp the screws-locks.
Place the rings with clothespins on the guides. Their number is taken at the rate of 10 pieces per meter of the Cartina canvas:
- With double-point fasteners we move all the rings in the middle.
- With a three-point total, divide in half and place so that after installation they turned out to be at different directions from the central support.
Install the rods on holders and center them. Be sure to visually evaluate the view from the side. Only after that we clamp all the clamps. If the end plugs go separately, install and fix them.
How to attach the ceiling cornice to the wall
The wall installation may be required, for example, in rooms with a stretch ceiling, if there are no mortgages under it. In this case, we use special M-shaped brackets.
If you know in advance about this feature of the installation, purchase the ceiling baguette with the factory wall fastening. Otherwise, you will have to buy construction mounting corners or bending them yourself from the steel strip.
We definitely remove all the burrs and stall sharp corners. In the process of assembling the screws that go vertically, tighten from top to bottom. Otherwise, they will burst the tension ceiling film.
Ceiling baguette mounted in the following sequence:
- We perform markup and secure bearing elements in accordance with the instructions described above. The only difference is to provide for the attachment points every 60 cm.
- Such a baguette is often installed from the angle to the angle. Therefore, if necessary, cut it up to a specified size.
- Install the decorative tape on the tire. First on the straight part, and then on the roundabout, if there are.
- We screw the holders to the bus screws with the nut.
- Fresh finished product with dowels in pre-prepared holes.
Thanks to this method of installation you can hang Baguette close to the ceiling. A distance of 5-7 mm will remain between the bus and tensioned film. The main thing is that the mounting elements do not touch the film. Otherwise, they will start to blame the cloth: folds will appear, and over time, perhaps, and breaks.
The protruding brackets are sometimes stronger. So that they become less noticeable, it is enough to paint the corners in the color of the wallpaper.
If you want to fully disguise the mounting items, during the next repair, do the shoes under them and burst into the plaster layer. After sticking wallpaper from the wall, only horizontal tire holders will be opposed.
