PVC Curtains

There are many types of curtains for the decoration of arbors and verandas. Some of them have a decorative function, others are protective, but only a few models combine both of these advantages. Curtains from PVC are recognized as one of similar models.

Arbor decoration curtains is a win-win solution to give it a cozy look. Curtains are made of different materials: fabric, plastic, tarpaulin and polyvinyl chloride, or PVC.

PVC curtains from all others are distinguished by a number of features. First of all, they are much lighter than traditional designs. Secondly, PVC curtains perfectly protect the gazebo area from weather influences, such as rain or wind, as well as from attacks of annoying insects.

With such curtains, you can cover the arbor around the perimeter yourself, while it is possible to combine different types of film in one model, for example, to complement the color construction with transparent window inserts.To each other, different pieces of film are mounted using a special dryer that can heat the surface to a temperature of 200 degrees. Fix PVC-curtains with eyelets, pulling the film on the surface with bundles.

Curtains made of polyvinyl chloride are easy to clean. They are frost-resistant, therefore it is not required to hide them for the winter in the room. However, there is one "but": frozen curtains can not be folded, they can crack, from which the coating will come into complete disrepair. These designs are not subject to fading, damage from moisture and other things. In addition, they are recognized as the most environmentally friendly option to date.

Secondly, for many people a big problem is the almost complete lack of ventilation and the "greenhouse effect" in the room. Especially to prevent this, modern models are equipped with special lifting mechanisms that allow you to easily lift the curtains and ventilate the room.It is also possible to install windows with velcro in the curtains, so that they can be opened.

The choice of PVC curtains instead of traditional fabric curtains is a smart move, especially when you consider that a variety of models allows you to find an option no worse.

Protective film curtains are divided into the following types:

• Ribbon. This type is similar to vertical blinds, which are installed in two rows in a checkerboard pattern. Frost-proof curtains cannot be made from such curtains, however they are widely used indoors, for example, in factories, in car washes, and so on. Typically, such structures are hung in the doorway, equipping with a swivel mechanism, but stationary models are also commonly used.

• Roll. The one-piece film web is attached with special straps, and plumb weights are mounted below. Models can be equipped with an electric drive or manually controlled. Cloths for roller blinds are made from both continuous pieces of film and perforated to eliminate the "greenhouse effect" and improve ventilation.

• Soft. Installation of such structures is the most popular option today.Such curtains can be used as an alternative to traditional windows, while many benefits are guaranteed: good thermal insulation, unbreakable material, installation or removal speed, durability, substantial cost savings. The market offers both stationary models and removable, depending on the needs and wishes of the consumer.

Making a choice in favor of one or another option, you need to consider the ability to provide insulation. Actual soft transparent curtains-films retain about 70% of heat, rolled - about 60%, while ribbon blind-models - only up to 50%.

Regardless of the design, with proper operation, PVC-curtains can last up to 15 years without losing the initial look. Not every material can boast of such values, so durability is another reason why you should stop your choice on PVC curtains.

In addition to structural variations, there are also curtains in various colors. A particular type depends on the type of coating:

• Colored;
• Transparent with a colored seam along the contour;

• Colored with integrated transparent window;
• Colored with photo print;
• Translucent;
• Combined.

Despite the relatively young age of PVC curtains, original traditions of using one or another type of painting have already been formed.

Terrace models or for the veranda are usually made transparent or combined (color with a detachable window). Most often, such options are complemented by the “door” of PVC film with the ability to open and close it, for example, at the zipper.

For the cafe, preference is given to color models with a photo print. Often, small stalls or coffee shops get a tent of PVC material for free, but with the company logo of the sponsor. So the firm provides itself with advertising, and the cafe - savings on the construction of a tent.

More mature establishments choose options with a print in the form of natural elements, for example, leaves of trees, beach, forest. This is especially true when the cafe is located in the middle of the city.

In some cases, the installation of PVC curtains is not made on the windows, but only on the door space.Then, transparent models equipped with a clasp are selected, and the films are selected from the highest quality that can be found. Frequent operation leads to rapid wear, so you should not save in this case.

If you are planning to choose a translucent option, you should be careful. For many, such colors are strongly associated with hospital premises. However, if you choose the right shade of the film, it will look quite harmonious, while allowing you to protect yourself from prying eyes.

When choosing a particular type or color of PVC curtains, it is necessary to focus on many factors: whether it is planned to remove the film for the winter, what are the prevailing colors of the surroundings, what is the purpose of installing soft windows instead of regular windows and so on. If you decide in advance what qualities of PVC curtains are the most important, the choice will be much easier.

Flexible street designs are selected for summer terraces, and for year-round use.In the first case, the space for selection is much larger: you can choose a perforated model, both solid and roll. It is quite another thing - winter operation. In addition to aesthetic issues, you need to take care of the functional component, for example, the ability of curtains to withstand low temperatures.

Selecting curtains film for the veranda or for the terrace, it is recommended to look at the solid transparent models installed around the perimeter. From the inside they can be supplemented with classic curtains, giving a cosiness to the whole room. PVC film will protect the curtains from rapid deterioration and the negative effects of the environment. This combination is good in the summer, in the winter it will look out of place.

From a stylistic point of view, the choice in favor of transparent options will be a win-win. Many people find such models boring, preferring color or photoprint curtains. In order to choose the right multicolored models for the style and decor, it is advisable to hire a designer,however, if you yourself have a good artistic taste, you can make the right choice without it.

Care for PVC curtains is extremely easy compared to other types. Due to the fact that the PVC curtains are moisture-proof, it is allowed to wash them with plain water.

For home use get detergent synthetic. They remove dust from curtains by spraying them with water, and especially polluted places are rubbed with a rag or sponge. However, this method is not applicable for transparent panels, each scratch on them will be visible. They are best to soak the dirt for a few minutes, then re-wash the curtains.

Large surfaces of PVC curtains are treated with water using a diffusing watering can. Such an approach is more suitable for washing curtains in a cafe or stall, because in such places the structures are more susceptible to contamination and are made quite impressive, so it is not possible to process them manually. For washing also use gel soaps.

The veranda is equipped with transparent combined curtains. Both the static and roll-in options are used here. A large selection of different colors in which adhesion seams can be made allowed the owners to choose the best option for decorating their terrace. In addition, PVC curtains are diverse in shape and can be selected to fit any window shape.

The owners of this house also decided to opt for a polyvinyl chloride construction on two floors. As the color of the canvas trim is used classic white. Despite the fact that he is not particularly in harmony with the environment, he does not look disgusting.

PVC curtains can be used not only for framing porches and terraces. Due to its heat-shielding properties in regions with average temperatures, it is possible to mount them on the windows of a residential building for year-round use.You can warm them and the balcony.

Summer cafes, weatherproof curtains made of polyvinyl chloride look interesting and stand out from the crowd. The most important thing is to choose the right color, and the owners of this design succeeded. The white edging merges with the walls and classic curtains and is not striking, thereby creating the illusion of open space.

PVC constructions can be installed even on gazebos, which are equipped with a brazier. In this case, you will have to provide an improved ventilation system, since the heat from the barbecue will have nowhere to go and in the gazebo it can become unusually stuffy. The solution is to use roller blinds, which can be lowered and raised at will by regularly airing the room.

The rolled curtain in folded form looks as follows. It is supplied with straps for hanging (at least two, but straps may be more depending on the width of the curtain) and a weight, so that in the untwisted state the curtain hangs as it should. On the sides, they often make zippers or velcro to make it possible to make the room completely closed when necessary.

Terraces are often weatherproof with PVC panels. In this case, this design year-round: mounting on the grommet provides operation without removal. It was possible to additionally hang classic fabric curtains to make the room cozier and warmer.

Panoramic soft windows for cafes - a solution spectacular, but not particularly practical. Films are quickly deformed and scratched, which is why the guest hall immediately takes on a cheap untidy look. To avoid this, it is necessary to replace the curtains on time.
