How to measure roller blinds on plastic windows?

Roller blinds are a modern and quite attractive way to design a window. Products combine the simplicity and convenience of blinds, as well as the aesthetics of ordinary curtains and curtains. The variety of materials produced in Holland, Belgium, Poland, Germany, Turkey makes it possible to satisfy any designer whim regarding the texture, color and density of the material. However, not everyone knows how to measure roll curtains on plastic windows.

Roller blinds easily regulate the illumination in the house. They can completely darken the room or gently diffuse the light. Main advantages of products:

• protection from the sun, noise and prying eyes;
• compact design - saving space;
• simplicity and ease of management;
• great opportunities for design;
• durability - do not wear out over time and do not lose the aesthetic appearance;
• do not attract dust, do not fade in the sun;
• fabrics and mechanisms do not contain harmful substances;
• Reasonable price - depends on the size of the window, fabric and system.

Products do not require special care, but it is desirable to respect them. In appearance, there are open and closed curtains.

They consist of fabric and shaft. An open shaft with brackets is usually attached at the top of the window (sash). Types of fastening depend on the size and area of ​​the window; brackets of larger and smaller sizes are used.

Small brackets (mini system) are usually installed on the sash window, large - on the frame or window opening. The fabric is wound on the shaft. Open type roller blinds are controlled by a chain mechanism. At the bottom of the fabric is set decorative strip, through which the fabric does not sag, evenly wound.

For fixing the product (especially when opening the window) can be used magnetic fixation. With magnetic fixation, an open-type product is fixed with the help of magnets and metal plates (in several places).Fixation on the fishing line occurs across the entire height of the curtains, so it is more expedient and effective than magnetic fixation.

Rolled curtains of the closed type consist of fabric and a shaft, but the shaft is placed in a plastic or aluminum box, and along the edges of the fabric there are guide rails that perform the function of fixing the fabric. Products of the closed type are very well suited in the case when it is not planned to use tulle and curtains - for example, when designing a balcony or loggia. Due to the refinement of the aluminum box, the effect of completeness of the window design is achieved.

Guides for products of the closed type exclude the possibility of light penetrating between the glass and the fabric, so you can achieve a complete darkening of the room. Closed products may have flat and U-shaped guides.

In order for the roller blinds to have an aesthetic appearance and high practicality, you need to understand how to measure correctly.Roller blinds are divided into several types, and each has its own features for taking measurements.

In order to correctly measure the curtains that will later be used for plastic windows, you first need to figure out exactly where the roller blinds will be mounted. They can be attached to the window frame itself or on the window opening.

What measurements should be taken:

1. Curtain width - "B". The minimum width is 50 cm, the maximum is 300 cm.
2. Height - "H". The minimum curtain height is 50 cm, the maximum is 300 cm.
3. The length of the roller blinds is indicated by "L". The minimum length is 27 cm and to infinity.

Fastening directly to the window opening:

1. "H" is depending on the length of the protruding parts of the sill. If the window sill is flush, then the dimensions - at the discretion.
2. If the installation is carried out on a wall, you need to respect the boundaries The distance between the roller blind and the ceiling should be at least 7 cm, it must be carefully measured.

Roller blinds of cassette type Uni -1 are measured as follows:

• "B" is measured by the width of the glass, vertical window. Merka removed very accurately.
• "H" measurements are carried out in the same way as "B", only horizontally. Which side will be the management is determined individually - at the request of the customer.
• The level of "H" depends on the calculations and is 2/3 of the length of the product.

Uni 2 must be measured very carefully. Of great importance when measuring has the location of fittings on a plastic window:

• "B" is equal to the width of the glass unit + 6.8 cm. We must not forget that the width of the product is 2 cm less, that is, a minimum of 25 cm and a maximum of 120 cm.
• “H” equals the distance it has to the top of the top cap and to the bottom of the bottom cap of the direction system. The minimum is 20 cm and the maximum is 150 cm.

Determining the size of the roller blinds on the type of Mini:

1. Mounting is carried out on the window frame. For this, measurements of “B” (directly of the glass unit itself) are carried out, then the width of the bead needs to be added, it is about 0.4 cm. The remaining dimensions are calculated in the same way. Then you should choose a convenient side to control the mechanism of the curtains. The approximate length of the lace - 2/3 of the "H".
2. In that case, if the metal-plastic window opens for ventilation, fixing chips for curtains are mounted on its lower part. Clamps are needed to ensure that during ventilation the roller blind or blinds do not sweep away everything on the windowsill.

There are the following options latch:

• magnetic clips;
• fishing line.

Attach curtain rod curtains in several ways:

• using screws;

• on a special double-sided tape;

• suspended structure.

This type of curtains can also be installed on a metal-plastic frame or on a window opening. When it comes to Day / Night curtains, you need to calculate the following: to “B” add 1.5 cm, to the “H” - 15 cm.

If the curtain is mounted directly on the metal-plastic frame, measurements are carried out in three places "B" and three places "H". For the height of the opening we take the smallest figures. If there are angular slopes, measurements are taken from the place where the curtain will hang in the future. “B” is equal to “B” of the window opening minus 5 mm. “H” equals “H” of the window opening.

It is most practical to arrange the control system in such a way that the string does not collide with the window handle during work. The length of the lace mechanism set at the request of the customer.

Completed products box for the upper part and guide elements - at the request of the buyer. If the curtain box is decorative, it is fastened with special fixings.Measure the roller blinds on the plastic windows is not difficult.
