The technologies of the 21st century made it possible to create windows from practical and strong PVC, but classic, wooden ones do not diminish their own attractiveness. The tree saves heat, maintains the comfort of the house and fits perfectly into a single interior of the house.

Manufacturers recommend the most European wooden windows different breeds, which can be purchased both in a simple building store and on resources sold on the Internet. When the purchase is completed, another question arises: what curtains to choose for decorating the window opening. Let's see what the market recommends to us.

Choice differences

Before choosing curtains, it is necessary to take into account in advance the moment that you need to choose materials for wood. More precisely, under the windows made of wood. And this is also of great importance.

It's not just the cost that sets wood windows apart. They also have their own, unique structure, are distinguished by mounting technology. Their frame is not the same as that of plastic models.

Yes, even the installation process will stand out a little. All these points are taken into account, and then they look at the advice from other consumers and decide whether to purchase one or another option.

If, for example, to speak purely about the artistic side of the issue, then it is better to decorate wooden windows with softened curtains, with special colors. Blinds or specialized mechanical models look bad in many cases - it's a fact.

Thanks to this, if, for example, you already want, in order to be satisfied not only with the cost of curtains, but also with their visual appearance, and also with practicality, then you will need to spend more time to purchase and choose curtains correctly.

Types of curtains and their distinctive characteristics

Today's industry to industrial enterprises allows us to select from a very large number of the most diverse products. The period of time when the curtains were only made of lightweight fabric that fluttered near the window is gone.

Now enjoy a very large number of very various models, therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to such aspects.

So, according to their own type, the curtains are divided into:

• Typical, woven.
• Roll.
• Wooden.
• mini.
• Cassette.

It's not all of them different variants, but we have named only the most famous varieties. All others are used much less frequently, especially when it comes to choosing products for wooden windows.

Fabric curtains - obvious and tasteful

There is no need to say a lot about the system or the differences in stereotypical curtains. They are the most trivial system of light-scattering or blocking components.

A simple fabric is used in the work, it can be easily washed, ironed, the curtains are fastened on specialized hooks. In general, you already know about all this for sure.

It should be noted only the moment that for good quality wood, you should choose a fabric with an optimal structure. Even varieties with a relief pattern are suitable, although here you already need to look at the circumstances.

Well, let's remember that the cost of curtains will also show its own effect. as well as advice on them. Like, what else should be the cost? After all, it's just fabric. But the fabric may well be quite expensive. Nevertheless, everything here, of course, obeys a certain model.

Wooden - the fashion of the 70s is back

To use a different material for curtains, in addition to fabrics, became in demand in the 70s of the last century. Today, this fashion has returned, and the products themselves have acquired new life with new production technologies.

Faux parchment roller blinds

But the definition - wooden, is not entirely correct. Materials for such products are distinguished by a huge variety. It can be bamboo, reed, plant shoots and, of course, wood.

All wooden models are made of natural material, they easily breathe, they are considered an almost transparent barrier between rooms. The system consists of short pieces of material strung on a thread, which are easily moved apart and assembled, similar to rope curtains.

In other words, in principle, wooden models in most cases resemble blinds. They are also folded and mounted. But only the replacement of a polymer or fabric material in the form of key reflective components is the same bamboo or polished wood.

To be honest, wood curtains are a little bit harder to work with. They take up a lot of space, weigh more than typical ones. But they obviously look great. And in addition, the surface of this kind of curtains does not lack washing at all. They can only be wiped with a rag, and this is quite enough.

In addition to the design characteristics, the cost of a model made of natural material is also captivating, varying from 500 to 1 square meter. rub.

Mini is the best for small spaces

Specialized mini models are a godsend for small spaces in terms of installation, price and design. A simple fastening mechanism, the absence of reversing and box help reduce the cost of the product, and the cost of such curtains varies from 500 to 1.5 thousand rubles.

The mini also has its own pluses and they eloquently report about it good feedback those who have already decided to install them. Consumers noted:

• small sizes;
• light system mini;
• strong material fixation system;
• assembly color selection;
• potential fastening mini on the adhesive system;
• nice value.

In the design, such models look perfect, if, for example, they are located on small windows. But wooden windows are rarely like that. It is necessary to carefully choose the system of curtains and the windows themselves, so that they fit perfectly.

This means that mini is perfect for decorating a room with a bathroom, a kitchen, a closed veranda. If, for example, you have wood elements there, then the mini samples are exactly right. If not, then it's better to choose something else.

Roll samples are a good solution

Wooden curtains of a standard example

Roller blinds are multifunctional. It is universal in that the models are quite unique. They are a straight curtain, which has a rather refined structure and can easily be rolled up.

If, for example, simple fabric samples need to be folded into folds, then rolled ones are very easy to fold. In addition, rolled objects are rolled up quite easily. You only need to pull on a special cord.

In the end, the curtain will begin to rise and automatically tighten into a pre-prepared roll. Similar solutions for wooden windows are also suitable. Roll models made of crumpled paper or fabric look especially aesthetically pleasing. In many cases, it means that the structure of the curtain will be non-uniform, as if it were pressed.

For roll products, ease of installation and extraordinary convenience are specific. They are mounted quite easily, for wooden frames there are even non-standard mounts. The process of folding or unfolding is also simplified to the limit.

Yes, and they look quite worthy against the background of wood. Among the disadvantages are the cost and difficulty in cleaning. According to standard technology, it is problematic to wash them.

Another 1 meter square moment - no need to buy inexpensive roller blinds. They have a rather flimsy winding mechanism for the roll itself. It will not hold even a year of active operation.

Cassette curtains - a system of convenience and beauty

A new word in the field of curtains - cassette systems. They are also placed on wooden and pvc windows. By and large, these are improved roll models equipped with specialized mechanisms. The panel is placed close enough to the window frame, while the windows look elegant and beautiful.

In most cases, customers cannot distinguish between cassette and roll samples. And they can be understood, although there is nothing complicated there.

Cassette models are not called that in vain. In their upper part, where the roll itself is placed for roll samples, for cassette models there is a protective cassette with a curtain receiver.

This cassette stabilizes the entire system, makes it very reliable, protects the curtain material from damage, etc. But it also increases the cost of the product, which also needs to be considered.

Installation of current cassette curtains does not take much time, the cost depends on the width of the product and starts from 2 thousand rubles. Customer reviews for cassette designs are full of praises. Tips say that using them is very comfortable.

For cassette models, ease of assembly is specific, the absence of sagging of the panel, a box equipped with a do-it-yourself locking mechanism that prevents spontaneous detection of curtains.

Application of mini-type curtains, on a remote window

The cassette also makes protection functions. Yes, and it is quite easy to transport similar goods.

But there is a point about the design. Wooden, refined windows with cassette curtains would be nice not to process. Or use cassette models from expensive samples.

Their cassette body will be finished remarkably, which will immediately affect the appearance of the entire structure.

It remains to look at the advice of people who have already managed to use the above options in combination with wood fittings. Was it worth it? Let's find out.

Julia, 25 years old, Kyiv:

Template curtains were placed on wooden windows. No matter what anyone says, fabric varieties are the most preferable for me. They look just fine, only the fabric must be chosen carefully. Well, nevertheless, it makes me happy.

Wood is a real material, and only a similar real fabric looks with it. All the laces and this plastic in other models does not bribe me.

Alexander, 42 years old, Minsk:

For me optimal solution- cassette curtains. I can’t say for sure why I liked them so much, but the effect is definitely pleasing. In addition, both in the visual project and in the practical one.

In the end, they came up with curtains that need to be washed infrequently (in the cassette, dust does not accumulate on them), while they are mobile, comfortable, and quite productive. Glad enough.

Installation of roller blinds (video)

The choice of roller blinds is almost limitless. Having chosen the appropriate color, size, transparency, you have to decide how the design will be fixed. It depends on this choice how comfortable it will be to use the curtains, how long they can be used.

This article describes the various installation methods: on plastic and wooden window frames, on the wall, ceiling. Each method has its own characteristics. We hope that the information in the article will help you find a roller blind that will work properly and please the eye for many years.

The roller blind can be held on a special mount or on adhesive tape. Can be fixed:

• on the window profile;
• to the slope inside window opening;
• above the window opening on the wall;
• to the ceiling.

The choice depends on the size of the canvas, the characteristics of the room, personal preferences.

It is preferable to hang massive rolls on special fasteners that are held on self-tapping screws. Small, lightweight structures will hold on to a special adhesive tape or double-sided tape without any problems. As a rule, in the package with the finished roller blind there are 2 different mounting kits, and the buyer chooses at his discretion. When ordering by individual sizes you can choose fasteners according to the manufacturer's recommendation.

It is advisable to fasten large massive rollers to the ceiling. With a ceiling mount, structural deformation is less likely due to the rational distribution of the load (the center of gravity will be under the screws, and not to the side of them). For ceiling mount niche can be provided.

Visually hide the dimensions of a large roller will help fastening to the slope. Once you decide to fix the roller blind to the slope, make sure that the slope material can withstand the load. For example, there will be no problems with fixation on plastered and putty slopes. Slopes from sandwich panels will not hold self-tapping screws.

A small window, especially without a window sill, will look stylish with a curtain attached to the wall above the window opening.

Light and compact rolls can be fixed on the window frame. This solution will allow you to make the most efficient use of the surface of the window sill.

IMPORTANT! When choosing a fastener, make sure that the windows open and close freely.

When using rolled sheets with curtains and curtains at the same time, it is important to provide enough space for all window decor elements.

Guide rails for roller blinds significantly extend their lifespan. They provide movement without displacement and deformation.

Mounting on plastic windows

For plastic windows, fastening without the use of self-tapping screws is preferable, since subsequently, when deciding to remove the decor, it will be problematic to mask the holes.

If for some reason you decide to install the structure on plastic windows using self-tapping screws, our recommendations are detailed in the next section on fastening to wooden windows. The only feature will be that before screwing the screws into the plastic frame, it is better to drill holes in it with a drill.

No drilling on plastic profile roller blinds can be fixed using springy brackets or plates, which are fixed with a special adhesive tape or double-sided tape.

Each model of curtains may have separate features, which will be necessarily reflected in the accompanying instructions. Perhaps the most significant difference will be the choice of fastening depending on whether the sash opens. For opening doors, spring brackets are used, for deaf doors - plates. However, the principle of fastening without drilling is the same for all canvases and is as follows:

1. We prepare all the components from the curtains and a pencil, as well as in the absence of a special adhesive tape in the kit, double-sided tape.
2. Fasteners and the surface of the profile on which the roll will be attached must be thoroughly washed, degreased with alcohol and dried.
3. We glue the pieces of adhesive tape on the fasteners, leaving a protective film on the side that will be in contact with the window profile.
4. We assemble the design of the roller blind completely.
5. We fix it on the window with our hands, without gluing it to the tape.
6. We mark with a pencil the boundaries of the fasteners (brackets or plates).
7. We remove the structure from the window, disconnect the roller with the canvas.
8. We remove the protective film from the fasteners and firmly press the fasteners into the marked place.
9. We fix the roller in the holders.
10. We check whether the mechanism works properly: open and close the curtain.

Mounting on wooden windows

For wooden windows, it is preferable to fasten roller blinds to self-tapping screws. They provide high structural strength. In case of refusal from them, after the screws there are no sticky traces that require great effort to remove.

Holes in the tree are puttied easily and without a trace. Deciding to install a roller blind on wooden windows with double sided tape, you can read our recommendations in the previous section.

The principle of installation on self-tapping screws:

1. We lay out all the components from the curtains on a flat surface, make sure that there are self-tapping screws in the kit. If not, we'll get ours. You will also need a drill and a pencil.
2. We assemble by connecting the roller with fasteners.
3. We attach the structure to the window profile, without screwing anything, we fix it with our hands.
4. Mark the holes with a pencil. They must match the holes, that is, you mark them as through a stencil.
5. We remove the structure from the window.
6. We disconnect the fasteners, apply them to the marked place, fasten them with self-tapping screws.
7. We put on lifting mechanism on the gear
8. We make sure that everything works properly: we lower and raise the curtain.

Wall mounts

Roller blinds are attached to the wall only with self-tapping screws.

• We prepare all parts of the curtains, self-tapping screws with dowels, a pencil, a level, a puncher (maybe a drill will be enough).
• We assemble the structure.
• We put it on the wall.
• Mark the holes. It is advisable to use the level. While the installation on the window frame occurs almost along the edge of the frame, and it itself can be considered a level, it is recommended to align the roll on the wall and mark it according to the level.
• We drill holes according to the size of the screws. With a high degree of probability, you will have to use a puncher, especially in a multi-storey building. As a rule, windows are located in load-bearing walls. They often contain metal fittings. The probability of getting a drill into the fittings increases significantly if you drill a hole directly above the window where the jumper is located. An ordinary drill will not cope with such a task.
• We hammer the dowels into the holes.
• We fasten the fasteners to the screws.
• We put the chain mechanism on the gear.
• We hang the roller in fasteners.
• We check the operation of the mechanism, lower and raise the roller blind.

Fastening without drilling

The method of decorating a window with roller blinds without drilling involves the use of adhesive tape. This mount is suitable for windows with plastic frames. In rare cases, the roll can be fixed on the upper slope of the window. For this, the slope must be made of PVC.

IMPORTANT! Attaching to a PVC slope is associated with some problems:

• the slope may not be perfectly even, and a deviation from the level even by a couple of millimeters causes the entire roll to skew, which can cause damage to the edges; slope deformation can also occur as a result of the installation of a structure on it;
• the quantity and quality of the adhesive tape must correspond to the weight; if the choice is wrong, the structure may fall.

Double-sided tape is able to hold the roller blind on a wooden window, but this is not rational. For wooden structures a self-tapping connection would be more suitable.

Fastening to plastic frames is described in detail above in the 3rd section of our article; to wooden ones - in the 4th.

Roller blinds are attached to the ceiling with self-tapping screws, by analogy with the wall:

1. We prepare all structural elements, self-tapping screws and dowels, a pencil, a perforator.
2. We collect the curtain.
3. Attach it to the ceiling.
4. Mark the holes with a pencil.
5. We drill them out.
6. We hammer dowels into them.
7. We fix the fasteners in the holes with self-tapping screws.
8. We put the chain mechanism on the gear.
9. We fix the roller in the holders.
10. We check how the mechanism works.

IMPORTANT! It is possible to fix the curtains on the ceiling only if it has sufficient strength (for example, concrete or wood). If in the room stretch ceiling, it is advisable to choose a different installation method or wait for repairs and change the ceiling.

Common installation errors

Despite the simplicity of design, during installation there are typical mistakes. Let's describe them so you can avoid them.

• When choosing, it is important to remember that the width of the canvas is a separate characteristic, and the total width of the curtain is the distance from the edge of one connection to the edge of the second.
• After selecting the position for installing the roll, lower the curtain and turn the window handles in all directions, open and close the windows. Very often, after installation, it turns out that the canvas interferes with functionality. window handles or ram.
• When choosing the installation position, it is necessary to take into account the full length of the canvas so that its top does not turn out to be raised unreasonably high, while the bottom does not close the window and freely transmits light.
• When using adhesive tape, it is important to thoroughly clean and degrease the surfaces. Neglect of this rule significantly reduces the strength of the structure. It can collapse at the most unexpected moment.

Conclusion

Having considered the main ways of fastening a roller blind, let's summarize.

Intuitive choice is not enough. It is necessary to take into account:

• design features of the room in general and the window in particular;
• window material.

Each fastener has its own advantages and disadvantages, they are described in the article; when choosing, it is reasonable to weigh all the operating conditions.

The installation of massive roll structures is recommended to be carried out with someone from relatives or friends. It is difficult and inconvenient to hold a large roller alone, and most importantly, it is not clear how smoothly its installation turns out.

We hope the article did not leave you with questions regarding installation, and the process will give you pleasant and not time-consuming chores.

Bamboo curtains have absolutely no cons! They are very reliable, and it will not be difficult to regulate them. In terms of functionality, they are the best!

Curtains made of wood are becoming very popular, especially today, when the issue of environmental friendliness of products is in 1st place in the design. modern interiors. They are such curtains of a design made in a horizontal position. At the same time, the material is completely non-toxic and completely natural.

Material advantages:

• They look very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, however, like everything that is made of natural wood, because the texture is the most natural!
• Under the influence of the sun, such curtains do not fade. In addition, the material in the manufacturing process lends itself to various treatments using special formulations and mixtures.
• Moisture resistant. To do this, they are also treated with special means during the production process.

The most popular materials that are in great demand, the cost of which starts at approximately 300 rubles.

Selection of type of fasteners

Roller blinds are a single piece of fabric, which should cover either the entire window, or some specific part of it. Behind the fabric there is a guide (not one) and the bottom bar moves along it. Thanks to this, in the event of a draft, the fabric will not “depart” from the glass.

In such products there can be two types of fasteners:

• Open - more affordable price range.
• Closed - much higher cost.

Roller blinds are not only an element of room decor. They are also able to perform the main task, completely closing the room from the penetration of sunlight or, to disperse the ingress of light inside the room.

"Open" mount

The design of such a mount is quite simple. It is a shaft on which the fabric is wound, as well as a mechanism and a lower bar. A variation of such a mount differs only in that the diameter of the shaft can be different from each other. And also there may be a different shape and thickness of the lower bar. The functional task in each such mechanism is performed according to one principle.

But if you decide to choose just such a type of fastening, it is important to understand that the wider the web, the thicker the shaft diameter will be. Using this particular mount, you can close the entire window, as well as the sashes individually. The cost of curtains is generally low when compared with other options.

The difference between a closed mount and the previous one is that there is an additional box here. It helps to ensure that the shaft on which the fabric is wound is closed. But if you use this method of fastening, it is important to remember that the width of the fabric web will be narrower than the window opening, and this difference will be the same as the width of the guides themselves.

It is for this reason that if you want your design to be more airy, you should pay special attention to the open type of fasteners. But if the first place is still occupied by the issue of functionality, as well as practicality, then it is definitely necessary to choose the closed type of roller blinds for plastic windows.

Since roller blinds perform not only a decorative function, but also are able to diffuse or darken a room, it is important to know about the main types of such products.

Light diffusers

This type can be more attributed to the elements of interior decoration. They are able to perfectly scatter the light that enters through the openings. In addition, they can be perfectly combined with curtains or curtains.

Reflectors

They, as the name suggests, reflect the light rays perfectly. We can say that they do not let in light, blocking the penetration of the sun's rays into the room. It would be appropriate to design in a children's room, where sometimes you need "darkness at noon."

If you need an intermediate version of the previous ones, then day-night roller blinds are the thing! They have both translucent and dense fabric strips that do not transmit light. In this case, you can vary the lighting of the room and illuminate it, or, conversely, darken it. This version of curtains is quite effective.

Selection of curtains for various rooms

Each of us would like to own house it was cozy and comfortable. In order to arrange this, it is important to approach the issue of choosing curtains correctly. After all, this is exactly the element with which you can decorate the interior, as well as protect the room from unwanted bright light.

In such a room, the most suitable type of roller blinds is day-night. After all, they can be very successfully varied by setting the intensity of light. Dense fabrics for roller blinds are suitable for this room, thanks to which the very comfort will be created. In a small room, Ikea roller blinds will be successful, matching the color scheme of the walls. But in this case, there should be drawings / patterns on the fabric canvases and then the living room will look fresh and cozy.

She is the most "intimate". Everyone wants to feel safe and comfortable in it. Also, I don’t want to worry and worry about the fact that someone will see you or bright Sun rays will disturb just when you want to sleep soundly.

To avoid all this, it is worth purchasing cassette roller blinds that will reflect light. And this will not only be of great benefit, but also very stylish solution! But to support the general idea of ​​\u200b\u200bdecoration, Ikea roller blinds must match color solution wallpaper or other interior elements. In other words, they should not stand out for their appearance from general design interior.

5. Remove the protective tape from the adhesive backing of the mounting pads of the protective box and its side covers.
6. Attach to the marks for the guides, align the box with them. Fix it lightly with the adhesive layer on the mounting pads. Unwind the fabric to a length corresponding to the height of the glass to make sure that the fabric falls freely parallel to the glazing beads.
7. Using a pencil and a level, make marks for the placement of the fasteners, and then drill for them.
8. Fasten one side of the box with a self-tapping screw and unwind the fabric again. If the canvas falls strictly parallel to the glazing beads, fix the box with two self-tapping screws on each side. Put on the side covers.

With spring brackets

Mounting the roller shutters on spring brackets is possible only for the design of opening sashes. Such installation is good in that it preserves the integrity of the profile, as it does not require drilling.

Instructions for installing roller blinds with your own hands using spring brackets:

1. Remove the packaging, check the contents, assemble the curtain. Attach it to the sash and outline the location of the fasteners.
2. Hang the spring brackets on the sash in the marked places.
3. Slide the side covers onto the brackets.
4. Insert the curtain shaft into the mounts, unfold and fold the curtain a few times to make sure that it is level and moves up and down freely.
5. Install the lower position limiter on the chain and clamps (magnets or Velcro) for the weighting agent.

On double sided tape

This installation is suitable for the design of small doors, both deaf and opening. Thanks to him, the surface of the window profile is also not disturbed. Fastening is carried out using mounting elements with an adhesive layer on the reverse side.

The fastening of roller blinds on adhesive tape is carried out in the same order as when installing roller blinds on a spring bracket. The only difference is that the reliability of fastening will need to first degrease the surface at the places where the fasteners are glued. This installation method is not recommended for large roller blinds, as it does not provide sufficient fixing security.
