How to install blinds on the windows

Not so long ago, blinds on windows were installed only in office premises, but over time these comfortable and original designs were increasingly installed in apartments, replacing curtains and curtains, which were usual for us.

This explains our desire to talk about how to install blinds on the windows. A wide range of products of this class will allow you to choose blinds for household use, suitable for almost any modern interior. Products offered to a domestic consumer may differ significantly in their design and have the following versions:

• classic vertical;
• horizontal;
• roll-type designs.

Blinds belong to the category of curtain products of the precast type, installation of which requires the contractor to take a responsible approach to all operations performed during this.

On how well the installation will be carried out depends on both the ease of handling and the maximum service life.

A responsible approach to the arrangement of curtain systems involves a careful study of the individual nuances concerning the installation of structures of this class. This should take into account not only the shape and features of the window (balcony) opening, but also the surface structure of the walls and ceiling, on which it is supposed to fix the blinds.

Installation Methods

Installation on the

tab Installation of indoor blinds can be arranged using the following techniques:

• installation of the mechanism in a window opening;
• installation of blinds separately for each window casement;
• installation of an inset.

Unlike conventional curtains and curtains, this type of decoration can be mounted in windows of arbitrary design (including in slanted skylights of window openings).

The choice of installation of window blinds is ultimately determined by the design features of the window being closed with their help, as well as by your personal preferences.

Marking of attachment points

Preparing for installation

At the initial stage of work it is necessary make measurements of the window block, the results of which will determine the appropriate for your case design blinds. In that case, if you choose the option to install in the window aperture, then when removing the dimensions of the canvas, you must retreat a couple of centimeters from the top and bottom (to avoid contact with the window sill).

When installing using the “overlay” method, you should do quite the opposite - add about five centimeters from each edge to the width of the window. When choosing an option for installation on separate doors, it will be enough just to measure their width without taking into account the areas occupied by fittings.

For windows with an irregular geometry, it is recommended to select blinds, the configuration of which at least approximately corresponds to the contours of the window. Thanks to this, it will be possible to achieve the necessary efficiency of their use.

When marking the attachment points, special attention should be paid to the fact that during their lowering and raising the edge of the canvas they can freely move along the window. In addition, it is desirable to provide for additional mounting in the location of the adjusting cord.

Installation

Fasteners are mounted

Independent installation of the louver requires the following to be observed order of operations:

1. First of all, the fastening elements of the structure are mounted, which should be securely fixed on the wall or ceiling with dowels and screws.
2. After that, a cornice is installed on these elements, to which so-called runners and special lamellae should be attached.
3. After testing the mechanisms for operability, installation can be considered complete.

Before installing the blinds on the windows we will look at some of the features of mounting various types of products of this class. When installing the classic vertical, you must first determine the place of fastening the eaves of the structure (on the wall or on the ceiling). At the wall mount, the cornice is mounted just above the window opening, and at the ceiling fixture - directly on the ceiling.

All subsequent operations are performed according to the previously described scheme, including fastening the eaves and installing runners with lamellae on it.

Care should be taken to ensure that the lamellae are installed exactly in the order in which they were packed in the package.

Horizontal blinds are mounted, as a rule, on the wall or directly on the window. In the case of mounting to the wall, the mounted structure covers the window opening completely. In the second case, it closes each of the window sash separately.
