Traditional curtains and blinds had to make room, giving way to a new type of window decoration - roller blinds, which are also called fabric roller blinds, roller blinds. They successfully fit into different interiors, concise, attractive and functional. To choose roller blinds on plastic windows for each room in the apartment, you need to get to know their types, types of fastening and properties of the materials from which they are made.

Roll products originated from the famous Roman blinds, but made of modern materials, with an improved mechanism, they have become a new phenomenon in the design of window openings. Built-in devices raise and lower the blinds to any position, allowing you to adjust the light intensity.

Roller blinds, placed strictly according to the size of the window opening or a separate double-glazed window, as in the photo, evoke associations with color inserts.

Mounting methods

The dimensions of the curtains are directly related to the parameters of the window opening and the configuration of the double-glazed window, so you need to measure the window before going to the store. The length is universal, usually does not exceed 1.8 m and is suitable for any configuration of PVC windows.

Curtains can be attached immediately to the entire window - above the window opening or inside it. This is done when the sash does not open or is rarely used. But more often they are connected to each sash autonomously, and this is one of the main features of such curtains. Let's look at several options for installing fabric roller blinds.

"Open" mount

Everything is simple here:

a shaft with a fabric wound around it;
a mechanism that sets the shaft in motion;
the lower planochka, which performs the function of alignment.

The size of the curtain, the diameter of the shaft, the shape and thickness of the plank may vary, but the principle of operation is the same. In this case, the fabric is adjacent to window glass loose, but the weighting agent at the bottom of the curtain does not allow the fabric to sag.

Note! If the roller blind is attached over the window opening so that there are no side slots, it must be at least 10 cm wider than it.

The cost of such curtains in comparison with other varieties is relatively low.

"mini" system

This is an improved and cheaper version of traditional roller blinds. Due to the compactness of the control unit and fixing components, these roller blinds are suitable for small windows. Controlled by a chain. Installation and dismantling takes just a few minutes.

Cassette blinds

Cassette curtains equipped with a decorative box, a masking shaft. The kit contains side rails that act as guides for the canvas. They help the curtain to fit snugly against the window and prevent light from entering from the side slots.

The main advantage: the window opens freely. An additional plus is the free surface of the window sill.

Some cassette roller blinds have a spring device that adjusts the length of the panel. They are usually installed on skylights to keep the fabric taut. The mechanism can be controlled both manually and with a remote control. This is especially convenient when the windows are located high.

Such a system in many ways outperforms the open one, it is more beautiful, more practical, but it costs more.

Useful advice. When buying cassette curtains, they look not only at the colors of the canvases, but also at the color of the box. It's good when it matches the tone of the window frame.

Lovolight system

Louvolite roller blinds are designed for large windows. They are fixed under the ceiling and deployed to the floor. Reliable components make it possible to decorate panoramic windows up to 7 m wide and 6 m high with such curtains. Roller blinds "Lovolight" are sold both with an open shaft and hidden in a box. Possible option remote control. They are most often installed in offices, shop windows.

"Day Night"

Among the latest successful developments in the field of sun protection systems is a double roller blind, which harmoniously combines the advantages of roller blinds and blinds. It consists of 2 parallel canvases, in which transparent and opaque strips of equal width alternate successively.

Lightproof elements consist of dense natural and synthetic materials. Light-transmitting areas are made of tulle, organza, fine mesh or veil. Between themselves, the strips are thermally connected, treated with Teflon impregnation, which provides dust-repellent and antistatic qualities. Such curtains can have both open and cassette roll systems.

When the control chain moves, the transparent and opaque stripes change their position relative to each other:

if the transparent sections coincide, the room is illuminated as much as possible;
with an incomplete match, a pleasant twilight appears;
when overlapping with dense strips of transparent, the window ceases to be a source of street light.

How to hang: video

Hanging roller blinds is easy if you familiarize yourself with simple technology. Before installation, the kit is pre-assembled, fasteners are prepared. The device is mounted with self-tapping screws or PVC brackets. Places for drilling are chosen carefully so as not to hurt the drill important constructions double-glazed window.

And you can do without a drill: there are roller blinds that are attached with double-sided tape or special brackets. For the latter, you need to choose a model with hook corners that are hung from above on the opening sash. The swing-out part is equipped with a magnetic system that provides guaranteed fixation of the device.

But installation with self-tapping screws is, of course, more reliable. Usually, an instruction is attached to the purchase, which will help to assemble and install a new roller blind without calling the master. The following video will show you the process.

Materials for roller blinds

Roller blinds can be:

bamboo;
jute;
from wood;
fabric.

Manufacturers use fabrics that are lightweight, dimensionally stable and resistant to sunlight. Most often used:

polyester;
nylon;
cotton;

It is in roll structures that the most modern fabrics are used. According to their light transmission, they are divided into 4 classes:

blackout - curtains made of such material do not transmit light (light reflection - 95%), cold and noise. Perfect for creating an atmosphere of calm, comfort, safety;

dimout - decorative fabric with the original structure of a complex satin weave, it has the ability to transmit diffused light, providing complete blackout at night;
"day-night" - the fabric consists of strips with different light transmission;
transparent - their function is limited to window decoration. They are used together with ordinary curtains.

The color and texture of the materials can be the most diverse and depends only on the preferences of the owner of the room.

Care

Although roller blinds are impregnated with a solution that maintains their original shape and protects them from pollution, they also need care. You can’t call it complicated, but there are certain rules:

Normal washing is contraindicated, especially if the fabric is 100% natural. In order not to damage the special impregnation, use soft sponges, neutral detergents.

A washing machine is categorically unacceptable.
Wet cleaning or washing should be the last resort when dry cleaning does not help. Often, an ordinary erasing eraser copes with a stain.
Products must not be twisted or bent.
Curtains are not hung to dry, it is the cause of creases.
Solvents, bleaches and other aggressive agents are prohibited.

When cooking or some other work where there is a possibility of contamination, it is preferable to roll up the curtain.

Roller blinds in the apartment

Designers use roller blinds in the design of the most various premises. Combining simplicity and sophistication, they are appropriate everywhere.

Initially, on the top you need to fix the box in which the whole structure will be hidden. It can be screwed on with self-tapping screws, for which a hole needs to be drilled, or you can stick it on a reliable double-sided tape.
In addition, such a system can also have magnets - this is the easiest design to install.
After you have installed the box with the roll, you need to glue the guides that will close the distance between the curtain and the frame, as well as correctly fix the canvas on the window.

Mini roller blinds are even easier to install. They are glued with Velcro or staples, they can be installed quickly at home without outside help.

How to withdraw?

Sometimes window roller blinds become necessary to remove. This is useful if, for example, you want to change curtains or simply wash or clean them. If they are fastened with self-tapping screws, you first need to unscrew them and remove the base in the form of a roll or box in which the canvas is hidden. If your curtains are fixed on the bracket, then you need to pry the mount with a sharp object, for example, a flat screwdriver, open it and remove the roll from there. The easiest way to remove models that are installed on adhesive tape, they just need to be peeled off (in some cases you have to soak).

When operating such curtains, you need to take into account a lot of tips to extend their service life and make it easier to care for them. Although manufacturers indicate that such curtains are dust and moisture repellent, they still need to be properly maintained. They need to be wiped from time to time with napkins or a damp cloth, so you will keep their original appearance for a long time. If your curtains in the form of a roller hang in the kitchen, then it is better to close them during cooking, because grease and soot can get on them and spoil their appearance. It is also better to roll them up for general cleaning so that too much dust does not settle on them.

To care for these products it is better to use ordinary soap or light detergent . In case you get such a product very dirty, you can wash it with powder, but in no case Do not use bleach for this, because they may form more pale spots. In addition, this way you can deprive the curtains of antiseptic and dust-repellent qualities. If you have durable wooden models of roller blinds, they can be dry cleaned without using wet rags. You can also periodically clean both fabric and wooden curtains with a vacuum cleaner. Better if it has a nozzle with a soft brush.

If you want to move the curtains to another window, or if you are not satisfied with their size, it is better to cut them in width, carefully processing the edges. This is not a problem for open column curtains.

In order for the blinds to serve you as long as possible, you need to provide them with high-quality and regular care.
