How roller blinds work. Benefits of sewing roller blinds

Decoration options window openings in abundance these days. But if the room is relatively small, then the choice is somewhat limited. Massive canvases only “hide” the usable area, fabric curtains in some rooms (in the same kitchen) quickly get dirty, installing blinds is not always possible or advisable.

For example, for windows with non-standard sizes you will have to make an order according to your drawings and pay extra for it. Roller blinds, which are easy to “stow” or unfold, in many cases - optimal solution. And how to make them with your own hands, and at low cost, the reader will learn by reading this article.

The author draws attention to the fact that we are talking about roller blinds. They are often confused with the so-called "Roman", although this is somewhat different designs. The similarity is only in some details, and fundamental difference- in the "lift" scheme.

The structure includes a roller (it is sometimes called a roller), on which a cut of the web is fixed, which is wound up when it is lifted. More difficult option- a cassette where the shaft-rod "hides".

The roller rotates on an axle, which is mounted using brackets in several ways:

On the sash frame, at the top. This will not interfere with the opening of the windows even with the curtain down.
At the top of the opening. Not very convenient, but this solution allows you to cover the entire window with one canvas, like.
On the wall. Alternatively, on the sidewalls of the window opening. This method of fastening allows you to almost completely eliminate the appearance of drafts in the room.

How to control roller blinds

Manual. In a nutshell - "pulled the rope", and the curtain went up or down.
Automated. Management is more convenient, but you will have to install a mini-engine, determine its power, think about how to make a drive. And that's not all the difficulties. For the manufacture of roller blinds with your own hands - not the best way.

Choosing fabric for roller blinds

What to consider:

When the canvas is lowered, the wrong side is visible from the street. Conclusion - for such structures it is necessary to use a double-sided material.
They can be used not only as the only option for shading windows, but also in combination with other design solutions as thick curtains hung on curtains. Based on this, the fabric is selected. In the first case, it should be dense, and in the second case, you can use translucent. Such a roller blind allows you to only slightly shade the room, by analogy with blinds.

regular fabric(for example, commonly used linen, tapestry) requires additional processing, which implies the impregnation of the canvas special formulations with the prefix "anti", that is, protecting roller blinds from bacteria, static charge, decay. This is especially true for specific rooms - kitchens, bathrooms. The best option experts consider polyester (the name polyester is more often used).

Additional design elements

Weighting compound

It is a wooden (plastic) rail, which is attached to the lower cut of the canvas. The purpose is clear - this is a kind of weight, when lowering the roller blind, pulling it down. A metal bar or something similar should not be used. If metal, then spots will appear on the canvas. It will not be possible to completely remove them, it is checked.

Garters

There is a choice - ribbons, cords. The quantity depends primarily on the width of the roller blind. The main criterion is the ease of ascent / descent. When determining the length of each adjusting element, double the height of the web and add a few cm as the necessary margin (about 12 - 16). It is needed to fix the curtains in one position or another, when you have to make a garter (knot, bow - as you are used to).

Shaft rod

AT makeshift designs it is desirable to use wooden blank. It is more difficult to work with a metal product. First, you need a thin-walled pipe, also made of stainless steel. Secondly, its mounting on brackets will also cause certain difficulties. The recommended diameter is from 25 to 50 mm, depending on the height of the window.

Measurement production

How to produce, it's up to the master. A roller blind can cover either the entire opening, or a frame, or a specific sash. It is only necessary to leave 15 - 20 mm on each side of the canvas in order to make bends of the material and sew on a typewriter.

But this is when it comes to fabrics. In some cases, canvases made of bamboo, dense polyethylene film are used, there are other options. But the meaning is clear, and a good hostess does not need to be told what an allowance is.

Preparing the roller blind

If the canvases are one-sided (coloring is implied), then they need to be sewn by attaching the wrong sides to each other. Accordingly, when using a double-sided material for a roller blind, this item is skipped.
The weighting agent can be attached in different ways. One of the options is in a pocket, which is located at the bottom of the canvas, along its entire width. Therefore, here, too, you will have to make a “line” after the weight is laid.
The last stage is ironing, since after that the roller blind can be hung out.

Shaft mount

The figures show some of the methods and hardly any further explanation is required.

Attaching the curtain to the roller

There is also nothing complicated here - staples (stapler), buttons and so on. Someone does this with a long zipper. As a variant of a removable design - on small hooks.

Garter fixation

Similar to roller blinds. How to arrange on the roller is easy to figure out, focusing on the width of the fabric.

Naturally, at the end of the assembly, the performance of the roller blind is checked.

It is generally accepted that roller blinds are installed at the top of window openings. But if you think about it, they can be used in other ways. For example, . The design, fixed to the ceiling, will allow you to either install a decorative partition at any time, or quickly remove it. What is not a solution to the problem of small spaces?

“Turn on” your imagination, dear reader, and you will definitely find another, no less rational use for do-it-yourself roller blinds. If the house has glass doors, that is good way temporarily "protect" the room (if necessary) from prying eyes. The same fully applies to glazed balconies (loggias).

The above instructions contain only a list of works and recommendations for individual stages. Production of roller blinds requires creativity, taking into account personal views on the issues of interior design of the room, its specifics and a number of other points. If you approach this process creatively, with an understanding of the technology of work, then you can make any kind of roller blinds with your own hands - according to the method of attachment, material, shade of fabric, and so on. For example, use Velcro, buttons on ribbons. Make decorative garters. It is not difficult to weave them with your own hands, from multi-colored cords.

Hide

Each hostess wants to create an original, and at the same time, cozy interior in own house. Not the last role in this process playing window decoration. It is worth noting that without textiles it is difficult to achieve the effect of completeness. And if you also prefer conciseness and economy family budget, then perfect option- make roller blinds on plastic windows with your own hands.

Step-by-step instructions for making roller blinds

How to make roller blinds with your own hands, you will learn from our article with the help of detailed description process. To begin with, we will discuss how to usually measure the height and width of the window before cutting the product. If a do-it-yourself curtain will be installed inside the window to the upper frame, then we measure the height and width of the opening. And if you decide that the canvas should be fixed on the wall above the window, then we measure it like this: we retreat 10-15 cm from the upper edge of the window, and the cornice will be fixed there. Next, we measure the length of the planned curtains, it will be 10-15 cm lower than the window sill, and the width will also protrude on the sides by 10 cm.

Before taking measurements, you need to decide in which part of the window the roller blind will hang - inside the opening or outside

With side cord

Homemade roller blinds with this type of lift are more convenient to use, but may take more time and effort to manufacture and install.

Cut the fabric curtains according to the measurements of the window, you should get two identical blanks, do not forget to leave allowances for the seams.
We make a pocket for the weighting rail at the bottom of the curtain and insert it. At the top, the product will be attached to wooden block with Velcro.
Next, we sew on plastic rings on ribbons, stepping back from the top edge of about 5 cm, and from the sides 15 cm. reverse side installation bar screw hooks.
Curtains will rise with the help of two cords threaded into the rings. The length of the first is equal to three lengths of the curtains, and the length of the second is the same plus half the length of the canvas.
Tie the cords to the hooks, and pass them around the curtains through the rings. Pay attention to the photo: the longer cord must pass through two rings.
Cords are fixed on the wall from the side of the longest cord. If you need to raise the roller blind, you just need to pull the threads and fix them at the desired level.

With garter belt

The first step is the same as in curtains with a side cord: transfer the measurements taken to the fabric and cut out the details, they are sewn in the same way as in the first case, leaving one side unsewn.
We fold the fabric face to face and sew along the edge on three sides, leaving the top edge without a seam.
Turn the garment inside out and iron all seams. You have what is called a bag.
We tuck the bottom edge so that we get a pocket for the weighting agent. We sew and insert the weighting rail.
The second wooden plank must be fixed to the frame or above the window, and then we attach tapes to this plank to fix the raised curtains.
We attach the finished curtain to the impromptu cornice using a furniture stapler.

Important! With this installation method, it will be problematic to remove the entire fabric for replacement or washing. Therefore, we offer the best option - this is Velcro. Glue one part of it to the bar, and sew the second along the edge of the curtain. So you can easily replace the boring curtain with a new one.

As you can see, it is not very difficult to make such unusual fabric blinds yourself. stock up creative inspiration and patience and then everything will work out!

Below is a video on the manufacture of roller blinds with a factory lifting mechanism

First of all, let's look at the question of what it is - roller blinds. What are their advantages and disadvantages. Roller blinds are different type designs to limit penetrating light. They can consist of a different number of elements and materials. Be sure to have a mechanism for lowering and lifting. Installation and operation of roller blinds is very simple.

Designers often include them in their projects due to the high variety of colors and textures. Also, roller blinds are ideal for plastic windows, which gives them an advantage in modern urban interiors.

Pros and cons of operation

The advantages of roller blinds are: big choice materials and textures suitable can be found for any style and room, including rooms with high humidity. They are easy in daily use due to the mechanical component.

In addition, this approach saves space - the window sill remains free. Also, a special approach to insolation of the room helps to save on expensive curtain fabric.

The mechanism is ideal when installing the system " Smart House» - roller blinds can be installed on the electric control. Big plus - easy self-installation. To maintain health and order, there are special solutions and impregnations of materials.

Also, the advantages include a huge variety of manufacturers of this product. Nowadays, the competition is very high: in addition to going to the store, you can use your own hands to create roller blinds or order them in an online store according to the sizes and components you need.

Besides maximum size canvases up to 3 meters is already a minus, since the height of the window also matters than more material used, the more difficult the operation of the mechanism itself. If the width of the window does not allow closing it with one sheet, gaps are inevitable. From constant friction, low wear-resistant, cheap materials quickly fail.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a fabric roller blind

A great option for window decoration - do-it-yourself roller blinds. Easy replacement of the fabric base allows for numerous variations of the interior transformation. Even more interesting is that you rely solely on your imagination.

We suggest considering three options for creating curtains on your own: with a rod - a shaft made of wood, with a roller located along the lower edge of the curtains, and making roller blinds from ready-made industrial parts.

Before starting work, it is better to wet and dry the fabric, decorate and stitch it so that it does not deform in the course of work. The width of the fabric is selected according to the width of the opening, plus or minus the allowances.

It is enough just to take the required footage of fabric for alteration: its length will be equal to the height of the window opening with the addition of 30 cm to hide the fastening, the width is selected according to the width of the window. The fabric can take twice as much, in the case of a single-sided print - two window widths plus a few centimeters for allowances.

The first option - with a bar with a bar shaft

A very easy-to-make method, we need: fabric, a pair of bars (shaft and weight), garters, centimeter tape, screws (hooks and rings), cutting tools. BUT detailed photos An example roller blind can be found on the Internet.

The sequence of actions is as follows. Pre-purchased according to calculations and accurate measurements, it is better to wash and iron the fabric before starting work. We sew from the wrong side in width and on both sides of the length of the curtain, so we get a bag, which we then turn out.

Gently stitch the raw edge, iron. We sew pockets by bending three centimeters to the edge from above, one and a half from below. The planks will then go there.

We screw two rings on the screws from the inside of the curtain. We retreat 6 cm on the front of the product and screw in another screw with ring fastening. We take the prepared garters, one of the elements is equal to the length of the curtain, multiplied by three, the second is three and a half lengths.

We tie the fasteners with rings, fasten the long garter on the fastener that was screwed in with the last one. We carry them along the inside out again, pass through the screw rings. We bring out through the side loop, tie. Our roller blind is ready!

To hang it, we screw more hooks screws into window frame opposite the hooks already on the curtain. Now you can hang the curtain! And for winding the cord, we use another hook. The whole job takes a couple of hours!

The second option is a roller at the bottom of the roller blind

We process the fabric on both sides. We form a pocket for the weighting agent at the bottom of the canvas. If the fabric is not double-sided, then we sew a bag according to the previous sample and iron it. The weighting agent will serve as a shaft mechanism.

If the fabric is printed on one side, then we sew the bag, turn it inside out and iron it. We hide the bar in the lower edge of the curtain. For a couple of millimeters we spend the upper edge with a fold to the inside. Next, we work with Velcro / adhesive tape.

We sew one part of the fastening element to the curtain, we fasten the second to the bar near the stream with a stapler. We wrap the bar with a cloth, attaching a canvas to it. We make ties 25 cm plus length equal to the height windows multiplied by two.

We fasten the ties at the top bar with the same tool, symmetrically about the center of the product and in half relative to the total length. Fix the upper bar with a screwdriver and self-tapping screws.

The third option is creation with a base in the form of a finished structure

It happens that it is not possible to choose the curtains according to your desire or the materials you need are not available. Then your imagination comes into play, you can easily change the finished product to choose the right pattern or ornament.

For alteration, natural fabrics are more often chosen: cotton, rattan, possibly canvas. You need to be careful when attaching the web, a lot depends on how the winding will take place.

Then we take out the weighting agent from the cylinder, remove the original canvas. We add 2-3 cm to the length of the roll and get the value A. To get the value B, we take a value equal to the distance from the mount to the window sill plus 2-3 cm. with the help of an iron, we build.

We make a pocket along the bottom edge of the curtain, the weighting agent will be hidden there. We also bend one and a half cm, then five cm. We attach the curtain to the mechanism on a layer of glue, you can use double-sided tape.

With even fixation, the curtain rolls up and unwinds without problems. Place the curtain in finished mechanism, insert the weighting agent, the curtain is ready!

It is perhaps really difficult to make only a kind of day-night roller blinds, since in their functionality there are two canvases that shift relative to each other when twisted. The idea of such curtains allows for insolation through strips of translucent fabric, but in technical side it's quite difficult to do this when it's done.

Roller blind maintenance

Making or choosing roller blinds is only the beginning of their service. Fortunately, there are a great many examples and photographs of roller shutters on the Internet. It is also important to properly handle and care for them. However, it is very easy!

If necessary, cleaning the installation mechanism is removed, in almost any model. Thus, the structure is disassembled and perfectly cleaned.

If necessary, on the weighting agent, the fabric can be steamed to make it easier to remove. Then, according to the recommendations for a certain type of canvas, the fabric is cleaned, washed, ironed and placed back on the window frame. Roller blinds are unpretentious and always pleasing to the eye.

Would you like to buy roller blinds for plastic windows? I think it's wonderful solution for southern rooms, bedrooms and nursery. By the way, they themselves hung them in the daughter’s bedroom so as not to create an additional dust collector in the form of curtains. And recently I learned that you can make such curtains with your own hands. Therefore, I think that this is wonderful material for an entire article.

Advantages and features of roller blinds

Roller blinds are designed to replace metal or plastic blinds in an apartment, they are more comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

The darker the fabric, the less light it will let through. Therefore, in the bedroom I advise you to choose a dense and dark material.

The colors are chosen according to the general tone of the interior, but so that they do not merge, you can choose a curtain a little brighter, more saturated than the main tone.

The advantages of such curtains are many:

Perfectly shade the room
look cozy,
Easy to operate
Possibility of washing and care,
Safe.

When choosing fabric for curtains, it is advisable to give preference special types impregnated: they will not burn out as quickly as ordinary ones and can have moisture and dust-repellent features that will quickly win the love of the hostess.

In the minuses, you can write down an insignificant fact when the lifting system for store copies starts to nonsense.

This type of textile is suitable for absolutely all windows: for summer cottages, for apartments, offices, balconies. And they even go well with other types of curtains, which allows you to create interesting compositions.

There are several options for opening mechanisms for roller blinds:

Drum (sets the roll in motion),
Magnetic (the position is fixed by the magnetic component in the bottom bar of the product),
Automatic (makes it possible to open the curtains remotely via a remote control or a button).

The most easily accessible method is drum, the most expensive is automatic.

More roller blinds are divided into types according to light transmission:

Day-night or zebra patterns allow you to control the penetration of sunlight with the help of stripes different density and colors.
Night (blackout) do not let in daylight.
Dimout transmit from 65% of the light and are more popular.
Transparent let in daylight, practically without shading the room.

How to choose a roller blind

Before going to the store for a finished copy or buying material for self-manufacturing, you need to decide how the curtain will look.

Will these canvases be on each window sash or on the entire window, or maybe completely on the window opening and not be attached to plastic window and in front of him against the wall.

If you want to diversify the room and not weigh it down with textile compositions, then you can look at the options that show roller blinds with photo printing.

Do not choose a curtain for a picture on the wall or wallpaper, otherwise you will overload the space. It is better to give preference to monophonic natural shades, or emphasize a small color accent in the upholstery of furniture or the tone of dishes.

In the curtain itself, choose companion colors: pink and gray, gray and yellow, turquoise and chocolate and other variations.

After determining this stage, we measure the height and width of the window or sash. And then we go to the store to choose from the presented samples suitable option. Well, maybe someone has already left, and we are moving on to the process of making such a miracle - curtains on our own.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make roller blinds with your own hands

So, the roller blind has two slats: upper and lower, which hold the canvas and make the bottom heavier.

In modern city building stores, you can buy a ready-made drum with a plug and a chain, i.e. you only have to process the fabric. This is in case you want to go faster.

You can use this mechanism, left over from the blinds or the old roller blind, maybe it was lying around somewhere, but this is the easiest way and there is nothing special to invent here.

Materials:

Textile,
Two slats (wooden, metal), across the width of the curtain,
Glue,
Cord,
Fixing rings.

We measure the window, with allowances of 3-5 cm from the sides and 5-15 cm up and down.

Bend the side allowances, iron and glue on the sewing cobweb, glue or stitch.

We take two strips or sticks. I think with round section will look more aesthetically pleasing. The size of the bar should be 2 cm larger than the glass.

We wrap both sticks with a cloth and sew so that they are not visible.

In case of washing, you can make a pocket where the weighting agent is inserted, which can then be removed.

If you care about how your windows look from the street, then you can make the curtain double-sided and choose a plain lining, and it will let in less light.

The curtain itself is ready!

You can apply imagination and use straps, as in the photo.

Or decorate the bottom bar with flounces.

Or, as in this photo, a more relaxed option.

Now we are starting to think about the folding mechanism, there may be several of them.

The simplest is manual. Two ribbons are sewn along the edges.

Manual way

We ourselves turn the bottom of the curtain into a roll and tie it from below with a ribbon into a beautiful bow. Simple, but not very convenient. Suitable if you are not going to deploy the curtain often.

The next method is using a cord and rings that will fold the curtain.

Rings are sewn on ribbons and to top edge curtains at a distance of 5-7 cm from the top bar and 10-15 cm from each other.

We take the cord, which should be 2.5 times longer curtains. We pass it into the ring through the bottom bar and across the width of the curtain into another ring. To make it clearer, we look at the photo of the scheme.

How to fix roller blinds on plastic windows

I will consider options for attaching to a plastic window without drilling, because I consider this option ineffective. I want to change the interior and remove the curtains, and the holes will spoil the whole view for me.

If you still have a mechanism from blinds or old curtains, then you can mount it on fasteners that are worn on the sash. This does not interfere with the functionality of the window in any way.

Or a sticky mount to the frame of a commercial roller blind.

Velcro can be used. One part must be glued to the top bar of the product, and the second to the frame.

Just choose white shade Velcro for light and transparent tones. There is also a black one on sale, it is suitable for dark shades of fabric and a dark frame.

Double-sided tape will also perfectly withstand a light curtain. Glue to the top of the plank.

There is an option not to sheathe the top with a cloth, but to put a mount on the bar, like a store copy, but made of ordinary wire.

Perhaps you have come up with your own system for manufacturing and fastening a roller blind, then share your invention with me in a comment, okay?
