Attaching curtains to window sashes. Installing roller blinds yourself is easy

The repair is completed, the last point remains - the installation of roller blinds on the windows, and the apartment will change and shine in a new way. First you need to choose the color, texture of the material, study the fastening system, buy the necessary fixtures and the mechanism itself.
Plastic windows have proven themselves in the construction market, are in great demand among the population. Together with them, roller blinds began to come into fashion as an integral element of the interior. The easy-to-handle design helps decorate and darken the room without taking up extra space.

A diverse design of the material allows you to bring new colors to the design of the room, to create a style. They go well with ordinary curtains, tulle, and are used as an independent element. They have certain advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

There are a lot of positive aspects in using roller blinds. Let's take a look at the main ones.

1. Diverse structure: fabrics can be fabric (cotton, polyester, silk, linen) or PVC fabric.
2. A large selection of colors and shades: curtains are sold in plain, multi-colored, photo printing of paintings, complex patterns is possible on them.
3. The choice of web thickness: thin (almost transparent) or dense.
4. The composition of the impregnation protects against fading, pollution, unraveling of threads, wetting from water.
5. Some models have heat-insulating and anti-reflective properties:
6. Curtains are compact, leave a lot of space on the windowsill.
7. For a bedroom and an office with a computer, two-layer models are used (the inner layer is fabric, the outer one is a reflective screen).
8. They can be mounted on separate doors and do not interfere with their opening.
9. Low maintenance, easy to clean.
10. Do not require ironing, do not wrinkle.
11. Durable in use.

All these advantages allow you to safely use them in the children's room, bedroom, living room, even in the kitchen and bathroom.

disadvantages

They are so insignificant that many do not pay attention to them.

1. Fasteners are plastic, break if not handled properly.
2. It is strictly forbidden to wash in water.
3. They absorb odors in the kitchen.
4. With closed curtains installed inside or outside the window opening, it is impossible to open the sashes to ventilate the room.

Location

Many housewives are wondering: "Where and how to install roller blinds?" First you need to determine their convenient location.

You can hang roller blinds on a plastic window with your own hands in 3 options, depending on the position of the brackets:

• directly on the sash;
• inside the opening at a small distance from the frame;
• outside the window opening.

Therefore, the installation of roller blinds on plastic windows will be slightly different.

Varieties of models

Roller blinds come in 2 types according to the type of mechanism.

• Open. The fabric is wound open on the shaft. Due to the weighting bar, when unwinding, it hangs on the frame.
• Closed. A shaft is hidden inside the box. Along the edges, the guides do not allow the canvas to move to the side.

Installing brackets

In order to save the family budget, all assembly work can be done by hand, without involving specialists, following the general rules.

1. For brackets, mark the attachment points.
2. Check the correctness of the markup by applying the cassette.
3. Attach the brackets. When installing not on the sash, you will need to drill holes in the concrete with a puncher, use wooden plugs for screws.
4. The fabric with the shaft is inserted into the grooves until it clicks.
5. Using the chain, unfold the curtain, leaving 1 turn of the canvas.
6. A lock is fixed in the upper part of the control mechanism.

You can hang curtains with your own hands directly on the sashes of a plastic window using self-tapping screws. This option is most convenient during operation, the fastening is reliable, it does not interfere with the use of a window sill, watering flowers.

• The line connecting the brackets must be strictly horizontal. Determine it using the building level.
• Do not use adhesive tape to attach the curtain to the frame. From the heating of the sun, it deteriorates, and the whole structure falls.
• It is better not to purchase ready-made designs. An individual order will allow you not to adjust the curtains with your own hands to the size of the plastic window.
• Pay attention to the quality of mechanisms and fabrics. Hanging cheap products is easy, using them will be problematic.
• Choose the type of dimming you need. It is not possible to change it further.
• Closed mechanisms allow you to keep a clean and beautiful look of the fabric for longer.

Installation of a closed type product

Do-it-yourself assembly of a closed mechanism on a plastic window is carried out as follows.

1. Degrease the surface of the frame with technical alcohol.
2. Determine the right and left guides by applying them to the window (bottom side protrusion).
3. Mark on top the place where the guides end.
4. Remove the side covers from the box with a slight movement towards you.
5. Pulling the chain, unfold the fabric to the end.
6. Remove the protective film from the sticky part of the box, apply it to the upper edge of the glazing bead strictly in the center.
7. Make a mark with an awl and fix it with a self-tapping screw on the opposite side of the mechanism.
8. By moving the loose edge, they achieve a parallel arrangement of the fabric relative to the side glazing beads.
9. Attach the other end of the box.
10. Release the sticky layer of the guides from the protective tape. Glue at the markup.
11. Return protective covers for the box.

Width change

Roll-type factory mechanisms do not always fit the size of the window. Before assembly, you have to reduce their width. What does that require?

• The material is unfolded, the plugs are removed from the shaft.
• Remove the weighting agent from the bottom.
• Mark with a pencil the required width of the fabric, cut off the excess with scissors.
• The upper shaft is cut to the width of the opening (8 mm longer than the material).
• The weighting bar is shortened by 1.5 cm less than the canvas.
• Reinsert the lower bar and shaft plugs.
• With the help of a chain, the material is wound onto the shaft, leaving 5 cm of the edge hanging down.
• Next, install the mechanism according to the general rules.

Product care

1. Dry cleaning with a vacuum cleaner with brush attachments.
2. Wet wipe with a neutral soapy solution with a soft sponge.
3. Removal of light soiling with a natural stain remover.
4. During cooking, the curtains are raised.
5. Careful folding avoids creases.
6. Dry in expanded form to prevent deformation of the canvas.
7. Soaking in water leads to a deterioration in the protective properties.

Hanging roller blinds on plastic windows is not difficult. They will help transform the interior and choose the "view outside the window." Any drawings are set by the method of photo printing. On a cloudy day, beautiful pictures of the winter forest or flowering sakura branches will cheer you up, give the room a cozy, warm atmosphere. Roller blinds in the nursery can be decorated with images of your favorite characters from fairy tales and cartoons.

Attic windows that are tilted cannot be decorated with ordinary curtains. A roll-type mechanism with a closed system will be indispensable here. It will help protect the room from direct sunlight, create coolness in the summer heat, keep warm in the winter cold.

There was a time when there were no curtains for windows. In the best case, the window opening was covered with a sackcloth or a piece of canvas according to the size of the frame. Time passed, curtains and tulle made our windows beautiful and elegant. What now? We again return to the functional piece of the “canvas”, whose name is blinds.

Varieties of blinds

For home comfort, today there are a dozen types of such structures: with vertical or horizontal slats, roller shutters and pleated windows, for roof windows and inter-frame windows, for arched openings or bay windows, beautiful Roman curtains and multi-impressive curtains, with electric or protective (rollers), unusual photo blinds .

This type of window decor is made from different materials: they are wooden and bamboo, metal (aluminum) and fabric, plastic and paper. Among all the blinds, roller blinds are gaining more and more popularity.

There are several types of them, differing from each other in the material used, dimensions, method of attachment and installation option:

• Classic open blinds look great on large windows. They are installed with mounts on the ceiling or on the wall or in the window opening. They are controlled by a chain or a spring mechanism. Such curtains occupy a minimum of space, cover a large window space, due to this they have a low cost. At the same time, they quickly become dirty, windows do not open well with them, installation requires male strength.

• Cassette closed Uni. The twisted fabric is fixed in a plastic box, which can match the color of the PVC window panels. The cassette is mounted directly on the frame. Due to the chain or spring mechanism, the fabric is untwisted from the roller. Buyers like this type of roller shutter, as the box is hardly noticeable on the window block, the canvas does not interfere with opening the window, and literally moves away from the glass by a centimeter. The window sill is not cluttered with the structure. Two boxes can be installed on each frame: at the bottom and at the top. The curtains will open and close towards each other. Can be mounted on inclined skylights. The only drawback is the high cost.

• Mini roller blinds open can be installed on the sash and directly on the frame. The mechanism of the system is chain. These roller blinds are self-adhesive, that is, windows that do not require drilling or are mounted on self-tapping screws or brackets. The mechanism does not interfere with opening the window, the curtain does not occupy the window sill. Due to the invisible line used, the curtain needs to be handled with care. If double-sided tape was used for fastening, it can “melt” from high temperatures and the structure will fall.

When choosing the type and type of roller shutters, do not forget that:

• they must comply with the overall design of the room;
• if there are large window sills, it is better to leave them for flowers or under the shelves, and choose cassette curtains with a frame mount;
• for small windows, roller blinds with mounting on the ceiling or wall are more suitable - this will visually enlarge the window openings.

Installation methods

Before choosing the installation method, you need to decide on the installation location of the roller shutters. They can be installed on the ceiling or the upper slope of the window, on the wall above the opening, in the wall on vertical slopes, on a blind window, on an opening sash, on glass.

Take into account that the longer the mounting bracket, the more the web is wound onto the shaft. For a textured or long canvas, choose the longest brackets.

There are the following ways to install roller blinds:

• by drilling a wall, ceiling or window opening, installing plastic or wooden dowels into the holes, fixing the brackets with self-tapping screws or screws;

• by drilling the window frame and fastening the holders with self-tapping screws;

• without the use of a drill and a screwdriver, by installing curtains on brackets-clamps (clips);

• without drilling, by gluing on double-sided tape.

How to assemble?

When buying roller shutters, the kit will include all the necessary fastening materials:

1. Control hoist with bushings and chain.
2. Side plugs, latches and brackets of the mechanism with a cross for self-tapping screws (you may have to buy metal brackets for the wall, ceiling or clips for the window sash).
3. Guide line (synthetic string).
4. Limiters for the chain, fixing the position of the web at the top and bottom.
5. Mounting plate and double-sided tape.
6. Magnets-clamps for attaching the curtains with the lower bar to the frame.

Manufacturers offer a large selection of kits for mounting roller blinds. Choose the one that suits your mounting method, and then you do not have to buy additional individual elements. If your boxless blinds were store-bought rather than custom-made to exact measurements, there may be a problem with fitting the design to size.

You can trim some types of curtains yourself. For this:

• measure the window: when installing on the frame, the best experts recommend taking into account the width of the clearance plus the width of the glazing bead - this will be the width of the web and shaft;
• unfold the curtain and remove it from the shaft;
• measure and cut off the excess shaft with a hacksaw;
• cut (saw off) the excess of the lower bar to the curtain;
• lay the canvas on a flat surface;

• measure the desired width and draw an auxiliary line;
• cut off excess fabric with sharp scissors or a construction knife;
• the length of the canvas can not be cut, but simply fixed with the help of limiters; if trimming is needed, then disconnect the web from the shaft, cut it off from above and glue it to the shaft again.
• The roller blind is now ready for assembly.

Rolleta can be with or without a guide line. It depends on how the structure is assembled. But always start by reading the instructions.

Assemble the curtain without a string as follows:

1. Determine from which side it will be more convenient for you to use the control mechanism.
2. Place a roll of canvas slightly unfolded from the top edge in front of you.
3. Locate the adhesive strip with the protective film on the shaft, remove it.
4. On the very edge of the fabric, place the shaft on top so that the adhesive strip lies on the fabric.
5. Glue the canvas to the shaft.
6. Start winding the fabric onto the shaft by simply turning the shaft towards you and winding the fabric at the same time. Do this carefully, the fabric should lie flat.
7. Insert a metal or wooden weighting bar into the hem of the bottom edge.
8. Insert a side lock into the shaft on one side, and a lock with a control mechanism on the other.

The string in the roller shutter stretches the canvas and does not allow it to sag in the roof windows and when the sashes are opened. The fishing line protects the product and keeps it intact longer

There are several ways to attach a string to a window panel. The chosen method depends on the design features of the roller blind. We offer one of the ways.

Assemble the curtain with a string in the same way as the previous method, with the following steps:

• The weighting bar for the lower edge of the canvas should be equipped with side holes for fishing line.
• Cut the string from the set in half.
• There are holes on the brackets where the roller blind will be attached. Pass one piece of fishing line through one fastener and tie with a double knot.
• Do the same with the second piece of fishing line and paired fasteners.
• Install the shaft with the curtain in the brackets, unfold the fabric to the maximum desired length.
• The fishing line hangs freely vertically along the canvas on both sides.
• Pass it through the holes on the weight.
• Attach brackets with holes for fishing line to the bottom panel of the frame.
• Align the canvas, stretch the strings and tie them to the brackets.
• Now you can raise and lower the curtain roll, open and close the window - the strings will securely hold the canvas.

This is ideal for skylights.

Step-by-step installation instructions without drilling

You can do without dowels and self-tapping screws if you use the following types of fastening: double-sided tape or clamping brackets (clips). With adhesive tape, fasteners can be glued to the frame and the opening sash of the window or glass. But the clips are used only on the wings.

When attaching with tape, follow these simple instructions:

• The frame must be dry and warm, without condensation.
• Treat the joints with degreasing agents (both on the frame and on the fasteners).
• Mark the attachment points with a pencil, use a level for this. Focus not on the window sill or frame, but on the horizon, otherwise the curtain fabric will warp.
• Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape and stick on the fasteners.
• Remove the second protective film and attach the fasteners to the frame or glass.
• Insert the side clips for the curtain (one is blind, the other is with a chain).
• Insert a roller with a canvas into them.

• Having decided on the length of the canvas, install limiters on the chain.
• At the level of the lower bar, make markings on the frame for attaching magnets.
• Put metal washers (hardware) on the adhesive tape and fix it on the frame.
• Attach the magnets from the kit symmetrically to the curtain.
• Connect hardware with magnets.

Clamps-brackets (they are also clips, they are also spring brackets) are a real fixing find for a home craftsman. They are made of metal and PVC. For plastic windows, it is better to use plastic clips.

For installation, use our simple instructions.

1. Open the window.
2. Put on two brackets on top, try on how the window will close.
3. Mark the places where the clips are attached to the frame so that they do not interfere with the roller blind and the frame.
4. For safe use, stick the clamps with double-sided tape to the frame (do not forget to degrease the surfaces).
5. Insert the side fasteners.
6. Install the roll shaft.
7. Check the functionality of the design.

Correctly install roller shutters on metal brackets

If before that it was mainly about attaching curtains to window frames, now let's talk about installing structures in a more time-consuming way: using a drill and a screwdriver. In addition to these tools, you will need a level, a plumb line, a screwdriver, dowels, metal brackets, self-tapping screws, a pencil, a pen or marker, a hammer, a stepladder or a table (chair), glue (in the form of PVA or liquid nails) - if you accidentally made a hole larger than necessary, put the dowel on the glue.

You will need all these tools to fix the roller blind box to the wall or ceiling or the upper slope of the window opening using metal brackets. Accurate calculation is very important in this work. Be careful when marking. Extra holes in the wall will not decorate it.

Before starting installation, check if the surface is level. Any bump or dent can interfere with the smooth installation of the structure. Align the wall or, if possible, choose other fixing points.

On the wall

The curtain is installed on the wall for several reasons:

• to hide the defects of the window sill and window;
• to visually enlarge the window;
• to warm up the room.

Procedure:

• Determine the center of the window.
• Attach the assembled roller shutter with brackets to the wall above the upper slope of the window.
• Center it and level it.
• Mark with a pencil or marker the attachment points through the holes in the brackets.
• Detach the brackets from the roller.
• Drill holes according to the marks, install dowels in them.
• Using a screwdriver or screwdriver, fix the brackets.
• For a line roll, follow the instructions above.
• Install the shaft in the brackets, secure with clamps.
• Put the web movement limiters on the chain.

To the ceiling

When you need to visually stretch the room, install blinds from the ceiling. They can end at the level of the windowsill or be longer. At the same time, the same metal brackets are used for installation, but they are turned with holes towards the ceiling.

If the level shows you a violation of the horizon due to uneven ceilings, place a small wooden or plastic pad under the bracket to level the structure.

On the upper slope in the window opening

Since the slopes are not always even and horizontally located relative to the floor, be sure to use the level. Otherwise, the canvas may warp, the roller blind will not be able to function correctly. In addition, be especially careful in choosing the size of the curtain. For mounting, use the same metal brackets and our instructions. If you fix the brackets to a wooden wall, ceiling or slope, then this can be done with self-tapping screws without drilling and dowels.

On the frame sash

We have already told you how to fix a roller blind without drilling, now we want to introduce you to the installation of curtains with PVC guides.

The cassette model with a box is installed in the following way:

1. Remove the side plugs from the box.
2. Attach the box to the top bead of the frame and mark the holes for attaching the structure.
3. Using a screwdriver or screwdriver, screw in the screws on both sides.
4. Put the plugs in place.
5. Release the canvas, about 10-15 cm.
6. Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape on the rail.
7. Carefully glue both guides so that the canvas is under them, slightly pressed against the glass.
8. Place chain stops.
9. If your curtain is without a chain, then you need to install a decorative weight included in the kit on the bottom bar.

Another way to install roller blinds is not from above, but in the middle or from below. This original method was made possible thanks to the emergence of a new type of Mix curtains. The design is so interesting and elegant that it will definitely attract your attention. At the base is a guide string along which the canvas moves. In this case, a light box can be located both at the top and in the middle or go down.

Depending on which mounting method you will use, the dimensions of your curtain will be different, although the window is the same.

When you take measurements, remember:

• Curtains mounted on the ceiling and wall are the easiest to model. Here you can make a mistake by a couple of centimeters, since they are superimposed on top of the window opening. The model is completely dependent on the vision of the designer. The width should be made about 10 cm wider than the opening, and the length - as desired.
• When installing on a wall, please note that the top box will take approximately 5 cm.
• The roller blind in the window opening is 4 cm less than the installation site.
• The sheet for roller shutters with PVC guides must be exactly the width of the glass, as the guides are attached to the glazing beads.

• For the Mini system, the fabric should be three centimeters wider than the glass: one centimeter - on the glazing bead at the handle, two centimeters - at the hinges.
• When using a guide string, the width of the canvas is equal to the width of the glass plus 3 cm if you do not want side gaps.
• Before mounting on metal brackets, make sure that the length of the leg is enough so that later the roll does not touch the wall. ½ shaft radius + 1 cm - the distance to the edge of the bracket from the wall, necessary for the normal operation of the roller blind.

• Humidity in the room where such blinds are used should be no higher than 70 percent.
• Since the canvas is impregnated with a special dirt-repellent composition, do not try to clean it often with a wet method. Before use, check the composition of the canvas and the rules for caring for it.

In order for the roller blinds to serve you for a long time, raise and lower them using the control mechanism (chain or weight).

• Incorrect measurements. Do not forget - the concept of "web width" is not equal to the concept of "curtain width". Don't forget the fasteners and box.
• Inappropriate mounting method. If you have brackets for the window sash in the kit, and you plan to install the box on the wall, then you have made a vain purchase: you cannot install the curtain in this way, and the size will not fit.
• Not enough details. In stores, you can buy fasteners and accessories, but you need to start with the seller of the product. And here it is important to be in time within two weeks from the date of purchase. Don't forget the check!
• Faith that it will be possible to do without drilling. This does not always happen. Double-sided tape is not omnipotent. Attaching them to a box to a wall or ceiling does not make sense, and it is dangerous.
• Uneven mount due to overestimation of his eye. Feel free to use the level! It is always more offensive to redo than to do it the first time with high quality.
• Impossible to remove the control unit. When buying ready-made curtains, check their design features: there are models in which the control mechanism cannot be removed. This will result in your window having two right-handed or left-handed curtains. Ugly and interferes with opening the window.
• The brackets are too close to the wall. This will interfere with the unfolding and folding of the roll. Consider other details or options.

How to care

But now the moment has come when the curtains are installed and you actively use them. So, soon the question will appear on the agenda: how to clean them?

• Since the roller blind is a canvas, it absorbs not only dust, but also odors. Ventilate the room regularly: this way you will get rid of odors, and the dust will be shaken off.
• If necessary, you can use a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a cloth nozzle. If you do this with every cleaning, the curtains will stay clean for a long time.

• An eraser is a good tool. The canvas is impregnated, and the eraser will wipe off various stains well. Just don't grind to the holes!

• If this does not help, remove the box, disassemble it and take the canvas to a good dry cleaner.
• Don't have dry cleaning or extra money? Then pour warm water and a non-aggressive detergent without bleach into the bathroom. Put the canvas in the bath and gently rub it with a soft sponge. Rinse the curtain several times. Make sure that detergent (especially granules) does not remain on the cloth.

Do-it-yourself installation of roller blinds on PVC windows can be done quickly and with high quality if the design is carefully fixed in accordance with the technology. Learning how to install roller blinds on plastic windows is not at all difficult, just read this article to the end.

Roll cassettes for balconies

Installing roller blinds on a plastic window is an excellent way to save space in tight spaces. In addition, cassette rolls have elegance, modern design (you can always choose the best option for color, texture and style),

They also have high functional qualities (reliably protect the room from sunlight and dust, prevent the rapid cooling of heated rooms).

Installation of roller blinds on balcony window fillings is carried out by specialized organizations that manufacture cassette blinds, but in order to save money, you can refuse to install it by doing it yourself.

There are several ways to attach blinds to plastic windows, you will need to choose the most optimal option at the stage of measurements before manufacturing products: when installing in an opening; on the wall; on the sash.

Mounting methods

Fastening a roller blind to a plastic window can be carried out in two ways:

1. Without drilling holes.
2. Using the drilling method.

Before fixing the cornice, it is very important to decide how the window sill will be used. If you plan to fill it with pots of indoor plants, the installation can be done on remote brackets, which will allow you not to obscure the sunlight that is necessary for plant photosynthesis. In other cases, the fastening of the cassette roll cornice is provided for to different structures: to the ceiling, walls, on the window sash or in the light opening.

Pre-drilling holes

Detailed instructions for installing roller blinds on windows with your own hands using drilling will help you quickly and efficiently fix the product. Consider the option of how to fix roller blinds on plastic windows on your own, carrying out preliminary work on drilling holes.

If the blinds are mounted on the sashes, then the upper bar is mounted on the window structure using self-tapping screws. Self-tapping screws are best used with a protective coating so that exposure to condensate does not provoke the development of corrosive processes.

To begin with, on the top of the double-glazed window, it is required to mark the attachment points, you can drill small holes. After that, the holes for mounting the brackets are aligned with the drilled holes, and fixed with self-tapping screws. To ensure reliable fastenings, self-tapping screws must be screwed in with a screwdriver. After mounting the brackets, you can install roller blinds on plastic windows (directly on the sash).

It is necessary to make two holes on the frame, which are made under the lower glazing beads of each sash. A fishing line will be threaded into the holes, which descends from the top bar. The bottom holes for the fishing line need to be drilled exactly under the exits in the upper bar of the roller blind to the plastic window.

Plugs are attached to the lower ends of the fishing line, after which the fishing line is pulled, and the rolls are considered fixed. Hanging roller blinds on plastic windows is not difficult at all, you just need to have some building skills and special power tools.

Watch the video on how roller shutters are attached using drilling.

Installation of blinds without drilling structures

It is not always necessary to pre-drill window fillings when installing rolls - the way to hang cassette blinds without drilling will be described below.

Installation of roller blinds without drilling holes is used if the blinds are periodically removed for a long time (for example, they are removed from windows in winter). In this case, holes from fasteners will be visible on the sashes for a long time, which will significantly reduce the decorative effect of the window and the entire interior. But how to hang roller blinds on plastic windows without deteriorating the appearance of the window opening?

There are two ways to install roller blinds with gentle methods:

• The use of brackets that are fixed to the upper part of the profile - this method has proven itself when mounting products on swing doors.
• The use of double-sided tape allows you to mount the bracket without disfiguring holes, the blinds can be easily removed for cleaning. Fasteners may loosen, especially when exposed to high or low temperatures, excessive moisture, or sunlight. The repair consists in replacing the adhesive tape (replacing the strip of adhesive tape). The method of attaching products to adhesive tape is indispensable for deaf and swing doors.

Window curtains (roller blinds) cannot be mounted obliquely on PVC windows, the geometric shape will visually change immediately, which will be noticeable and ugly, therefore, when drilling holes, accuracy is simply necessary. When fastened with adhesive tape, an incorrectly installed piece can be easily removed and re-attached without violating the harmony and verticality of the installation of the blinds. The fastened element is immediately securely fixed in place, it is necessary to glue the bracket with careful and verified movements.

Features of installing rolls

Roller blinds (roll) are best placed on the window sash. This method of installation does not prevent the opening of window sashes, without requiring the blinds to be moved or removed for a while. Nothing interferes with the movement of the wings, they open and close comfortably, the rolls do not interfere with movement, do not wrinkle, do not break. This is especially important when the blinds are made of brittle plastic.

Ready-made sets of blinds are supplied complete with fasteners, and also include detailed manufacturer's instructions on the best options for fastening products. It is necessary to follow the manufacturer's recommendations, without violating the technology of fastening the blinds, then the rolls will last a long time without the need for replacement.

Detailed instructions on how to hang roller blinds on balcony openings on your own are now known to you. The point is small - to choose blinds, the installation of a roller blind will be carried out with high quality and compliance with the instructions.

Fastening roller blinds without drilling can turn into an easy, simple job if you choose the right quality fasteners. Fortunately, in the construction market, these products are represented by many manufacturers in a wide range.

First you need to decide what will be used - adhesive tape or glue. It all depends on individual preferences. In addition to these materials, you will need additional magnetic mounts, a ruler and a building level.

Before attaching roller blinds to plastic windows, you should definitely take all the necessary measurements. At this stage, it is important to adhere to several rules:

• if the curtain is located inside the opening, its width must exceed the corresponding window parameter by 4 cm;
• the length of the canvas should be 2 cm less than the length of the opening;
• you should also leave a small opening at the top;
• if the box is not attached to the opening, the gaps should be 10 cm;
• the width of the window should be less than the canvas by 20 cm.

In the process of measuring, it is important to do everything so that nothing interferes with the normal opening of the window.

The next step is to attach the curtains to the plastic windows. During installation, the selected type of fixation is applied. Next, roller blinds are installed and a roll with fabric is placed.

Disadvantages of fastening without a drill

It can be argued that this technology has no particular complaints. Perhaps someone will consider a similar design, like the roller blinds themselves, very simple and concise. But, this is the main feature due to which the products have become popular.

As for the technology, which does not involve the use of a screwdriver and a drill, its only drawback may be perhaps not so reliable fixation.
