How to attach horizontal blinds to wooden windows. Varieties and methods of installing blinds on plastic windows. Preparatory stage for installing horizontal blinds

You can fix the blinds on the plastic window with two different options... Let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different mounting methods and find out how to hang the blinds with our own hands.

Blinds for some interior planning applications may be preferable to curtains. Their main advantage is the ability to regulate the luminous flux. All you need to do for this is to turn the lamellas to a greater or lesser angle relative to the window surface. There are two main methods for attaching blinds. Let's analyze their advantages and find out. How to fix them with your own hands.

How to take measurements correctly

First of all, the blinds must be correct size... To do this, you need to decide on the method of fixing. The methods can be divided into two groups:

If you plan to install blinds on several windows, you should measure each opening separately. Although it seems that the window openings are exactly the same, this is not always true. A discrepancy of 2-3 cm can lead to difficult-to-eliminate consequences.

If you plan to mount a vertical structure, you must measure the height and width of the window opening. You should be careful when measuring, since you can shorten too long lamellas, but add additional elements to narrow blinds will be problematic.

If the model has horizontal lamella placement, measurements will be slightly more difficult. If the blinds are installed in the opening, you need to determine what the width and height are. The length of the canvas is selected at its own discretion. You can find both models up to the windowsill, and long options that reach the floor. If necessary, blinds with plastic or aluminum slats are not difficult to make shorter.

When installing directly on the frame, you need to consider whether the window will open.

If the window is solid, not opening, you can measure the width of the entire opening. If the sash will open, it is worth ordering a hotel structure for each half of the window. Measurements must also be taken accordingly. Measure the parameters of the glass (width x height) and add 20 mm at the top and 5 mm at the edges.

When designing blinds that are mounted directly on the frame, make sure that they will not interfere with the operation of the fittings and will not become an insurmountable obstacle during its maintenance (lubrication, adjustment, etc.)

Preparatory work

So, the method of fastening is determined, the blinds are selected, ordered, manufactured and delivered to the apartment. What to do next? Before you start attaching the blinds to the window, it is worth doing some preparatory work.

First of all, you need to unpack the finished product, carefully untangle all the cords, without leaving the slightest knot, and examine the finished product. According to the attached instructions, you must carefully check the completeness, make sure that all structural elements are in place and look exactly as in the instructions.

If at the stage of packaging something was mixed up or not reported in the box, it will not be possible to install the blinds. It is better to immediately address complaints to the manufacturer than to look for a replacement or improvise trying to do without the missing part.

You also need to prepare the window itself. All unnecessary items must be removed from it. It is worth protecting the windowsill and the next meters of the floor with newspapers from dust and debris inevitable when drilling. It is also worth making sure that you have secure foot support (ladders or trestles) and that the cord of the drill allows you to reach all drilling points.

Preparatory work for attaching blinds is not difficult and does not take much time. But if all these operations are not done on time, the installation process can be significantly delayed in time and require a lot of labor.

No drilling

Modern plastic double-glazed windows allow you to install blinds without using an electric drill. There may be several reasons for choosing this mounting method. For example, the prohibition under the terms of the lease agreement to carry out such manipulations on rented housing. Other reasons may be the lack of the necessary power tool, unwillingness to mess around with drilling or spoil the surroundings.

First of all, it is worth considering that fasteners without the use of drills and self-tapping screws are usually less reliable. This means that only lightweight structures can be fixed in place in this way.

Usually the lamellas in them are located horizontally and are made of thin and lightweight polymer. For heavier models, it is still worth choosing a mounting method using self-tapping screws. You can usually find out if the selected model can be hung without drilling from the attached instructions.

You will need double-sided adhesive tape and scissors to work. The order of work is as follows:

The last stage of installation is attaching the adjustment strips to the block and installing the slats in place. The reliability of the attachment allows the blinds (provided that the model is not too heavy) to hang in place for several years without distortions or separation from the attachment point. However, when cleaning (removing dust from the plates), you must act carefully so as not to tear off the structure.

If over time you need to remove the blinds installed on the tape, this is quite easy to do. A special liquid (for example, the "Anti-Scotch" composition) will help to remove traces of glue.

But if you don't have a professional solvent on hand, you can use a cloth soaked in WD-40 or vegetable oil.

Required materials and tools

Now let's consider fastening with screws. This is a much more versatile option that allows you to hang almost any model by any mounting method (on the ceiling, in the opening or on the walls).

First of all, you should pay attention to the quality of the fasteners supplied with the blinds in the kit. Sometimes manufacturers (especially this statement applies to cheap Chinese-made models) put too short and thin self-tapping screws made of low-quality steel into the kit. If you plan to fix heavy structures to the ceiling, it may be worth purchasing something more reliable.

Also for work you will need:

• Measuring tool: pencil, ruler with bubble level, roulette.
• Drill. A drill for a drill is usually used No. 6.
• Dowel and hammer.
• Mounting brackets (usually included with the product).
• Scissors.
• Screwdriver.

Having prepared a set of tools for work, you can start.

How to hang blinds on plastic windows with your own hands. Step-by-step instruction

The installation process usually does not cause any difficulties, even for those who do this job for the first time. We will cover installation operations vertical blinds... Here are the basic operations to be performed:

• First of all, markup. The brackets are usually fixed at a distance of 90 - 100 mm from the eaves. Mark the holes for the brackets with a pencil and drill them.
• Insert plastic dowels into the holes. Thread the self-tapping screws through the holes in the bracket and screw them into the dowels.
• Install the curtain rod with fixed decorative panels on the brackets.
• The runners are assembled according to the instructions given. You need to attach a canvas to them and thread them into the cornice.
• Weights are inserted into the lower part of the canvases. A decorative chain is attached to them.
• Limiters are inserted into the ends of the cornice and closed with decorative plugs.

Installation horizontal blinds differs slightly. The main difference is great sensitivity to strict adherence to the horizontal installation.

After assembly, it is important to carefully check the operation of all elements of the system (make sure that you can open and close the blinds, as well as change the angle of rotation).

Here are some tips from professional installers:

• Please make sure the kit includes the required bracket kit before purchasing. For some companies, the price of the kit includes only a canvas, and fastening and adjusting structures must be purchased separately.
• If you find defects, you do not need to try to fix them yourself. Contact the manufacturer for replacement or repair.

The main thing in any work is accuracy and adherence to technology. If everything is done correctly, you can hang the blinds with your own hands, quickly and without much difficulty.

A decade ago, blinds were considered exclusively office window decoration. But recently, the lamellas have changed, new design options have appeared. Designers began to use bamboo, linden logs, cherries and fabrics as production materials. It has become fashionable to select models for the arrangement of houses, apartments and public spaces. When contacting a salon or a specialized store for help, you will receive competent advice from a sales consultant for installation, care and selection. In the event that you are going to install blinds on windows with your own hands, read our article in detail.

You need to know this in advance before installing!

To make the blinds last a long time, try to carefully install. If you understand the details in advance, the installation process will not take long. The main thing is to take into account the model, the installation method and take this into account in the assembly. If you are attaching window blinds directly to the wall, you need to make sure that its surface is perfectly flat.

An important point! When buying, be sure to check with a consultant whether all the parts of the mounting headset are included in the kit. There are situations when buying additional mountings inevitable. Better to take care of this in advance.

Blinds can be attached in one of four ways:

• to the ceiling;
• to Wall;
• inside the window opening;
• for each window division.

Which option you choose doesn't matter. It all depends on the individual preferences of the client. Installed on double-glazed windows of various shapes. But the method of fastening is selected individually. The sequence of steps is roughly the same, but there are some distinctive details.

Universal steps for installing blinds

1. Many are convinced that the models are sold in a standard size and neglect the preliminary measurement of the window. . We want to warn you: take your time, measure the height and width of the window opening.
2. Be sure to keep in mind that the length of the lamellas should be two centimeters shorter than the length of the window. If you provide for the option of attaching the structure to the wall, then the canvas fifteen centimeters to the right and left should cover the window.
3. Next, mark the mountings. Make sure that there are no difficulties with the operation of the mechanisms, and they will easily allow you to open the window.
4. Guided by the markup, attach necessary details to the base. Dowels and screws are screwed into the wall or ceiling. Sometimes directly into the glass unit. Next, a cornice is hung on them, which holds the structure.
5. As soon as you finish installing the blinds, check their mechanism.

Installation of blinds on plastic windows

Blinds installation on plastic windows - a frequent phenomenon. Most modern insulating glass units are made of plastic. This is a fragile material, so you need to work with it carefully. Now we will consider the installation options where drilling is used:

We mount vertical blinds on plastic windows

This is one of the common types. Functional features, wide color palette, ease of care and color combination attract buyers. Therefore, it is common in offices and public organizations. Installation of vertical blinds will not take long.

1. It is necessary to make markings for fixing elements.
2. Next, attach the brackets and cornice.
3. Put the runners on the cornice, attach the slats to them one by one.
4. Attach weights to the control handle.
5. Check the work of the structure.

Mounting scheme for vertical blinds
For a detailed look at the instructions for installing vertical blinds, watch the video below:

We mount horizontal blinds on plastic windows

In most cases, horizontal slats are attached to the wall. They are able to close the window opening completely, but at the same time they look aesthetically pleasing and do not "squeeze" the space of the room. There are times when they are mounted to the window. Here, the lamellas are attached to each sash separately. The installation system for horizontal blinds does not differ from vertical options:

1. We mark the places for fastening.
2. We fix the brackets.
3. We put on the cornice on the brackets.
4. We check the length.
5. We check the installation and operation of the mechanism.

Mounting scheme

To make sure that the procedure is correct, see the instructional video for installing horizontal models.

We mount blinds on plastic windows without drilling

If for some reason you do not want to drill a wall or glass unit, you can use tape or special brackets. There are L-shaped brackets that are attached to the surface of the glass unit without drilling. They are easy to mount and dismount thanks to a simple latch. But, they are attached only to those doors that open. To attach the brackets to a closed sash without drilling, use double-sided mounting tape.

Thus, with the help of L-shaped brackets and adhesive tape, the integrity of the window profile can be preserved. Mounting on tape is less reliable than others, but if you do not overload the structure, it will last a long time.

Mount on brackets

We mount roller blinds on plastic windows

Roll-up models are installed in much the same way as vertical ones. One of the most affordable mounting options for blinds is on two brackets, which are fixed with self-tapping screws.

1. We make markup for details.
2. We attach the brackets to the self-tapping screws (at the same time, make sure that they are at the same level, otherwise the blinds will hang crookedly).
3. Next, we fasten the cornice with the canvas.
4. We check the work of the structure.

Installation of blinds on wooden windows

Modern models are attached to wooden euro-windows and old Soviet ones. It should be noted right away that when installing on old-style windows, you need to carefully take measurements.

Please note: glazing bead on Soviet wooden windows should not protrude beyond the plane of the frame!

Suitable models for wooden windows include: Isolite, Isotra, Roll and Rolllight. These are universal models. They fit harmoniously into the interior design regardless of its style. They are distinguished by a simple control mechanism and high performance indicators.

One of the most difficult installations on wooden insulating glass units is to attach to each section. All the necessary parts are included in the headset. The principles of installation are the same as for plastic: using brackets or screws. If you are not afraid to make a hole in the glass unit, you will be happy with the result. With the help of fastening to screws, the structure will serve a long operational period.

Mounting on brackets is considered less reliable, but it has a huge plus - no holes in the glass unit. When you want to remove the blinds, there will be no defects on the window.

We install blinds on wooden windows

Let's take a closer look at the option using drilling and fastening to screws.

1. First you need to make a markup for each of the fastening elements.
2. Make sure that the structure does not interfere with the opening of the window sashes.
3. Make holes for the screws. Install screws and dowels.
4. Attach the cornice to them.
5. Install another fastener at the regulating thread to relieve the structure of the accumulation of stress on that area.
6. Attach runners and slats to the eaves.
7. Check the work of the structure.

With the help of self-tapping screws, it is easier to attach the cornice to the window. Self-tapping screws will not bring harm window profile, but work carefully during installation. If you want to remove the lamellas after a while, no problem. After dismantling the structure, the holes are filled with special silicone glue white - and not a single trace of screws will remain.

Good to know! To begin with, it is better to drill holes according to the marking, and then mount the parts. Screwing in the screws individually is one of the reasons for the appearance of a crack. And this installation method guarantees the integrity of the plastic.

When the holes are prepared, the brackets are carefully screwed to them. Then the cornice is installed and closed. Further, the following actions are required:

1. Install the hook in the control mechanism.
2. Install the cane.
3. Attach the tip to the reed.
4. Secure the thread with a knot.
5. Check the operation of the blinds.

It is not difficult to install the lamella structure if you follow all the requirements and work carefully. Also read the installation instructions, which are necessarily included with any model.

There are many types of light protection fabrics, but they have common features. All of them consist of a metal tube-roller, or a rod, on which fabric is wound: bamboo or cotton material. The length is adjusted using a chain that is attached to a rotating mechanism on one side of the roll.

Usually at the bottom of the curtain there is a steel or wooden plank-weight, which protects it from deformation, allows it to hang evenly and fit snugly against the glass. The latter is achieved with a pair of small magnets that are glued to the bottom of the frame and attract the weighting material if it is metal.

You can go a more complicated way and pass the line through the guides, which will hold the roller shutter during wind fluctuations and opening in the "window" mode. It must first be threaded into the upper fasteners several times so that it does not pull out when pulled. Unwind it to the end, push it into the special eyelet on the weight bar. At the bottom of the frame, attach small corners with holes for fishing line. Pull it there, tie it, cut off the excess.

Manufacturers sometimes install a spring inside the shaft. In this case, you do not need to touch the cord with your hands to open or close it. It is enough to pull with a little effort on the plumb line located on the lower bar.

Installation sequence:

1. We outline the locations of the fasteners.
2. We drill holes, put the side clamps in place, fix them with self-tapping screws.
3. We put the roller with the cloth in place, close the plugs.
4. Preparing the guides for installation, remove the protective tape from the self-adhesive layer. We lower the curtain by 20-25 cm.
5. We start the canvas under the guides and carefully glue them in place.
6. We install stops on the chain mechanism or a decorative weight on the weighting bar. We check the performance.

Installation of cassette models

1. Apply the markings first.
2. Use a level to correct the “horizon” of the roller shutter location.
3. Drill holes at the marked points.
4. Using self-tapping screws at the top of the glass unit, screw the box with the roll rolled inside it.
5. If you don't want to make holes, use tape at least a millimeter thick. But first, do some magic over the markings so that the box hangs straight.

Roller shutters - good decision for any interiors. They are practical, beautiful and allow you to effectively control the degree of light in the room. Especially good for this roller blinds night Day. For those who do not want to give up traditional curtains, we can advise using them in a set with rolls. Very interesting and functional combinations are obtained.

Interior arrangement often involves the choice of decor for windows. Today, horizontal blinds are increasingly used for such purposes. Structures of this type are distinguished by ease of operation and long service life. Installation of blinds requires special skills, so not always a beginner can solve this problem. If you do not know how to install horizontal blinds on plastic windows, be sure to consult with a specialist.

Benefits

Horizontal blinds are several thin plates that are connected with a thread. This allows you to control their location in different planes. Such designs are of several types, each of which differs in the material of the lamellas.

The most common modifications are blinds made of aluminum plates.This product has many benefits:

1. The metal perfectly withstands temperature extremes, and also does not lend itself to destruction under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.
2. The lamellas are lightweight, but with a rather large margin of safety. They resist deflection well.
3. Do not burn.
4. The material does not accumulate dust, grease and odors. Perfect for both the modern office and home kitchen.
5. The service life can reach 20-30 years (with proper care).
6. Relatively simple and quick installation.
7. Simplicity of care. To clean the surface, simply wipe the surface periodically with a damp sponge.
8. The design takes up little space, which allows them to be installed in almost any interior.

Wood products are another popular type of horizontal blinds. These products have the following advantages:

1. The material protects the room very well from light penetration.
2. The wood does not heat up.
3. Products are environmentally friendly. They do not accumulate dust, which allows them to be used in the bedroom or nursery.
4. Unique design. Lamellas are made from various types of wood. This allows you to choose a drawing at your discretion.

It should be understood that wood is afraid of moisture, therefore it is not recommended to use such blinds in the kitchen or in other damp rooms.

Lamellas are also made of polymer materials today. Plastic blinds differ in the following features:

1. The quality of light protection is the best among all the models reviewed.
2. Cleaning the plastic is pretty easy. In this case, you can use almost all household detergents.
3. The material tolerates moisture well.
4. The service life is practically unlimited.
5. The plastic construction is lightweight and lightweight.
6. Plastic tolerates high temperatures well. This allows blinds to be installed even in swimming pools and bathrooms.
7. Ease of use.
8. Relatively low price.

But plastic is not a versatile material. Louvers should not be installed near any heat source. This can lead to deformation of the plates. Also, the polymer quickly fade in the sun and gradually turns yellow.

Mounting methods

Horizontal blinds are available in various standard sizes and modifications that can be adapted to the specific characteristics of the window. Such systems can be mounted in various places:

1. To the ceiling. This type of placement is only possible for solid foundations.
2. On the sash... Fixation takes place directly on itself window frame... Often such options are found when using small blinds for each individual glass.
3. To Wall. One of the most popular mounting methods. It is used for structures that completely cover the entire surface of the window.
4. Into the window opening. Here, installation can be carried out directly on the base of the frame or on the ceiling of the slopes.

When choosing the location of the blinds, one should take into account their functionality and design features. All these characteristics must be qualitatively combined with each other.

Installation preparation and measurements

Installation of horizontal blinds is technically possible without a certain amount of experience. The procedure for marking the fasteners begins. For this, the structure is applied to the location of the future location and the locations of the brackets are marked. It is important that the system is positioned strictly horizontally.

If the products were sold disassembled, then the blinds should be assembled before marking. All such operations should be performed only on the basis of the manufacturer's instructions. This will avoid skewing and possible damage to elements during operation.

When marking, it is important to consider the location of the product. The mechanism should not interfere with the opening of the sash, unless, of course, it is mounted directly on top of it.

Installation methods

No drilling

Many manufacturers have simplified the installation of horizontal blinds as much as possible. You can attach this structure yourself using the following fasteners:

• Double sided tape.Fastening can be carried out either directly using adhesive tape or using special brackets. The latter option involves fixing the fasteners with this tape. Please note that this installation option is only possible on the window sash itself. To obtain a reliable fixation, it is important to first degrease its surface. After that, the markup is done. It is necessary that the canvas is located strictly parallel to the plumb line. If there is a misalignment, then this will lead to rapid wear of the control mechanism. When the whole system is aligned, you can fix the structure on the window.
• Clamps. This option can only be used for opening sashes. The installation process involves fixing the clamps directly on the cornice. To do this, you just need to put them on. After that, the sash is opened and these fasteners are hung on it. This is quite simple to do, since you need to press the mechanism a little and it will snap into place.

With drilling

A more versatile way of installing blinds is to use special metal brackets. With their help, you can fix products both on a wall or ceiling, and directly on a plastic window sash.

This operation consists of the following sequential steps:

1. Initially, the location of the cornice is selected and the marking is done.
2. Hole formation. Please note that if you mark the places for them incorrectly, this will lead to a skew. Since extra holes in the wall are useless, everything should be done carefully.
3. Fastening brackets. To do this, use special screws or anchors, which are often included in the kit.
4. Installation of the cornice. This element is fixed on special latches. This operation does not require significant effort.
5. Installation of the canvas.

It should be noted that similar way fastening does not depend on the location of the eaves. Here, the type of bracket and the location of the latches on the surface of the blind frame can only differ.

How to hang on a window opening?

The algorithm for installing blinds on the wall consists of several sequential steps:

1. First of all, you need to decide whether all the components are available. If the blinds are more than 2 m wide, then they must be supplemented with an intermediate fixing. This prevents sagging of the cornice.
2. The next step is markup. For this, the blinds are located above the window in the right place... Then they retreat from the ends by about 3 cm and mark the locations of the brackets.
3. When all the marks have been made, drill holes for the dowels with a drill. It is important to choose the correct hole diameter in order to form a strong connection of the fastener to the wall. If the structure is wide, then you need to similarly drill a hole in the middle for an additional dowel. Please note that for heavy aluminum or wood blinds, the distance of the end screws must be at least 10 cm from the edge of the eaves.
4. When the brackets are screwed on, a cornice is hung on them. It can be fixed in several ways. The most convenient is the mechanism with self-locking locks. Simpler products need to be screwed to the frame using self-tapping screws or screws.

The process of installing blinds in the opening itself can be described by the following sequential actions:

1. Initially, the technical equipment of the product is checked. Pay attention to the size of the curtain rod. The way it is attached depends on this.
2. Blinds assembly. The process is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Markup. For this, the cornice is installed on the plastic window sash. Sometimes installation is possible on the ceiling of an opening or on a wall that forms above the frame of the frame. It is important, while taking measurements, to check whether the blinds impede the movement of the opening sashes. The points of attachment of the brackets are also marked on the base.
4. After that, holes are drilled and fasteners are attached. Do not drill deeply as a through hole can be made. If the fixation takes place directly on the plastic, you should use special screws.
5. The process ends with hanging the cornice and canvas. This process is similar to that described in the previous section.

Mankind has been trying to cover windows from prying eyes and sunlight since ancient times. Previously, curtains were used for this, but now blinds are becoming more and more popular. Lamels in them can be both horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal blinds are divided into different types: attic, roll, bamboo roller shutters, etc. Such devices have different mechanisms of functioning, dimensions.

They are attached to the frames, can be installed on top of the window block 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 structures are installed in offices, houses, apartments, production facilities, retail outlets, shops. Their color palette is very rich.

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

1. Using self-tapping screws. This method involves drilling. Disadvantage: After dismantling, it is difficult to remove the remaining holes from the fasteners.
2. No drilling. In this case, the whole structure is less stable, but does not deteriorate. appearance window.

In order to install blinds on a plastic window, we need:

• Screwdriver (screwdriver).
• Slats (for each leaf).
• Pencil.
• A little time and patience.
• Bottom fasteners (2 pieces for each sash).
• Upper fasteners (2 pieces for each sash).
• Self-tapping screws (4 per leaf).

Work progress

• Unpacking, we carry out the unwinding of the cord for adjustment.
• We carry out the removal of the control strip.
• We need to put a bracket on the top of the product.
• We make a measurement. For marking, it is recommended to apply a spirit level so that the upper plate is strictly horizontal and does not fall either sideways or down. If the window itself is installed skewed, then the installation is done based on this skewed sash.
• We put a mark where the screw will be screwed in.
• We check the correctness of the marks.
• Trying on and removing the brackets again.
• We take the right bracket, apply it to the intended area and fasten it with a screwdriver.
• Install the second bracket in the same way.
• We put on the blinds and dissolve them.
• We put clamps on the sides of the canvas.
• We check if the mechanism works.

For cleaning, snap off the lower lamella and pull the blinds up. We wipe the window and put the slats in place. Dust is swept away with a broom, after cleaning is carried out, an antistatic aerosol should be treated so that the structure collects less dust.

Fastening without screws

Typically, such fasteners are used on rented space when the appearance of the windows cannot be spoiled.

We will need:

• Scissors.
• Double-sided adhesive tape.
• Blinds set.
• Pencil.

Work progress

• We unpack the packaging.
• We remove the adjustment bar so that it does not interfere.
• We put the block with the wrong side up.
• We measure the length of the tape equal to the length of the body.
• Cut off the excess tape.
• We remove the protective strip and glue it to the wrong side of the block.
• Trying on the location of the blinds relative to the window sashes.
• We mark the points where the ends of the blinds will be attached.
• Remove the protective strip and glue the upper part.
• We press the profile well to the surface.
• We put the adjusting bar.
• We check the work of the structure.

Important! The width of the tape should be approximately equal to the width of the block. Smooth the adhesive tape so that there are no blisters, it should lie evenly over the entire surface.

We attach horizontal blinds to wooden windows

We measure

We measure the dimensions, taking into account the dimensions of the window. When installing in an opening, subtract 1 to 2 centimeters. This is a correction for uneven slopes. After that, we determine where the controls will be located (left or right side). After that, you need to decide on the type of brackets that will be used (standard; twist model). We measure the length of the handle to control the structure, usually its standard size occupies 2/3 of the entire height of the product.

Important! Maximum width lamellae about 22 centimeters. There are also large dimensions in stores, but with a width of, for example, 30 cm, no one can guarantee that the blinds will open and close well. The recommended maximum construction height should be no more than 2.5 meters.

How to attach horizontal blinds under a tree

It is an aluminum lamella design that mimics natural wood at the expense polymer coloring... It is perfect for complementing classic interior... Outwardly, they look like wood, but less capricious and easy to use.

• We make pencil marks in the places where the brackets will be installed. There must be at least 60 centimeters between them.
• Please note that the brackets should not interfere with the assembly of the blinds, fall into the latch or other moving parts of the mechanism.
• We attach them to the sash, wall or ceiling (depending on the owner's preferences).
• We turn the latches counterclockwise until they click.
• We put the upper part in the fasteners and wrap the latches all the way turning clockwise.
• We check the work of the entire structure.

How to attach horizontal beech blinds

What you need to install:

• Phillips screwdriver.
• Level.
• Felt pen.
• Pliers.
• Roulette.
• Hammer.

We carry out measurements and markings

It should be noted that after installation, the product should not block the access to the window handle, did not interfere with its closing and opening. We outline the places for installing the brackets. One of the top mountings should be near the mechanism. Because when folding and unfolding, there is a heavy load on this place and it is easy to rip off the mount.

We mark the necessary points with a marker. Self-tapping screws should not be taken more than 1 cm, otherwise there is a high probability of damage to the glass unit, which will lead to its depressurization. Because of this, permanent condensation will begin, which will disable the window opening mechanism.

Fastening to sloped windows

• We put twist brackets on the top of the window.
• Plastic brackets are installed on the bottom.
• We attach the cables to the bushings.
• We put the bushings in the holes of the upper cornice.
• We install on brackets.
• We pass the cable through the holes at the edges of the planks.
• We put the second set of bushings in the holes of the lower brackets. We pass the cable through it, fix it with a screw from above.
• We fix the window handle.
• We check the operation of the entire mechanism.

Differences between horizontal and roller blinds

Rolled - this is a single fabric wound into a roller. Such a canvas is usually fixed above the window, and the lower edge of the product is equipped with a special rail to make the structure heavier. This product open type... They are recommended to be installed above the window.

Design closed type is a box with roller closure and side dies that help fix the canvas to the window. Often they are equipped with electric drives that operate from a control panel. Such a system makes such structures more comfortable to use.

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

Conclusion

Horizontal blinds are a universal way to ennoble a window opening. Due to the variety of materials and colors, they are used when installed in apartments, private houses, offices, at retail outlets. Installation methods are easy to choose depending on the owner's wishes: outside, inside the opening, on the window frame, between the frames.

The main advantage is that almost any person can install such a mechanism with a minimum set of tools (screwdriver, screwdriver, knife, hammer), a little patience and skill. Blinds do not completely block the light sources, but help create diffused lighting.
