Roller blinds with guides

Comfortable and cozy accommodation can not be imagined without a beautifully curtained window. Of the abundance of models, the most relevant today are roller blinds. This is explained by the fact that plastic and metal-plastic window frames are becoming increasingly widespread. They should not be hidden behind thick curtains: plastic windows are beautiful in themselves. That is why light filters are so popular today. The rolls can be simply hung on the window and the sunlight will be muffled. Such curtains - a worthy replacement for traditional blinds.

The rolled construction consists of a special fabric web and a movable shaft-holder. It allows you to fold, fix and unfold the curtain. The bottom edge of the canvas is weighted with a bar, which prevents the fabric from deforming. Like any mechanism, roll curtains have their pros and cons. Positive qualities include:

• simple operation - the simplest mechanism of action;
• the ability to change the level of light - almost all modifications perfectly protect from the rays of the sun;
• low price - compared to conventional curtains, the price is much lower, since less material is used in their manufacture;
• compactness - saves space, taking up little space;
• ease of care - due to the materials used they are easy to keep clean.

Duffel curtains with guides can be divided into several types depending on their characteristics.

Canvas curtains are always in sight. Shutters are mounted on the wall, ceiling and window opening. Lifting the web is carried out by a chain or spring mechanism.

Benefits:

• low price, which directly depends on the size of the canvas;
• close a significant part of the glazed part of the window;
• save space, taking up little space.

Disadvantages:

• if the curtains are down, it is inconvenient to open the window;
• faster pollute;
• installation involves drilling.

The shaft, along with a cloth wound on it, is placed in a plastic box. The cassette box is mounted on the frame or sash of a plastic window. The unfolding of the curtain carries the mechanism through a chain or spring. Thus you can completely curtain the window, and if you wind the canvas on the shaft, it opens. Below the hem has a weighting agent that helps keep the fabric in shape. In order to fit the fabric to the window, the curtain is equipped with side guides.

Benefits:

• strong fixation of the canvas, does not deviate when opening;
• compactness;
• minimal care;
• simple installation;
• reliably protects against ultraviolet radiation and prying eyes;
• the color of the design of the box and the guides coincides with the color of the frame, so they are almost imperceptible if rolled up;
• guides are mounted on bead, fabric lies tightly on the glass;
• free opening of a shutter;
• the window sill remains free, it can be used for various needs;
• it is applied on mansard and other designs of windows;
• low price

Simple roll construction with compact roller. Lifting the web adjusts the chain. The small dimensions of the shaft make it possible to install them on each flap of a plastic window. For installation it is not required to drill a window, the frame remains intact. So that the canvas does not sag when the sash is open, the bottom rail is fixed by two magnetic holders. The string guides help the curtain move around. On the frame they are glued double-sided foam tape. Thanks to this fastener, the sash can open in any plane.

The system has a low price. She is miniature. All these qualities ensured good demand for the Mini roll system. Often, these systems are used when dimming a window, but total darkness cannot be achieved because of the gaps on the sides.

Benefits:

• installation does not require drilling;
• fishing line is used as a guide;
• the possibility of opening the sash;
• free window sill.

Disadvantages:

• the design is not so durable, requires careful operation;
• glue may melt at high temperatures.

Cassette curtains are extremely in demand. Almost all the elements perfectly perform their function for this reason, the product is distinguished by reliability, practicality and versatility:

• Cassette. Plastic is often a material of manufacture, mostly white, but it can also be colored, sometimes imitation of metal and wood can be found. In this case, its color should match the color of the window frame. Inside there is a curtain rolled into a roll. The inner space of the cassette provides reliable protection for the fabric, there does not pass dust, moisture, smoke, soot. Therefore, rolled models confidently installed even in the kitchen. The cassette is carefully attached to the frame of plastic double-sided tape on the foam basis. Plastic window drilling is not required.

• Guides. Rolled structures differ in different versions of the guides depending on the profile of the frame. UNI-1 - flat, They can be installed if the depth of the bead of 12 mm. UNI-2 - U-shaped. Such curtains are installed on windows with narrow or non-standard bead.

• Chain. The adjustment of the height of the curtain on the window occurs with the help of the latch control chain. This mechanism is very convenient and simple, even small children can easily use it. Separately, it should be said that, thanks to the chain, it is not necessary to take the canvas by hand, unlike simple curtains.

• Canvas. Fabric for the manufacture of rolled models treated with special compounds that do not allow it to fade, absorb dust and dirt. The composition of the impregnation includes antibacterial components. Fabrics for roller shutters differ in their degree of opacity into opaque, darkening and transparent. Light-proof fabric is used for windows that face east or west.

Separately, there are curtains "zebra", which are in constant demand. This model contains two layers of fabric, each layer has horizontal stripes, where transparent and opaque stripes alternate. The so-called “day-night” model makes it possible to control the level of illumination in a room by analogy with blinds. At the time of the coincidence of the transparent bands, the sunlight penetrates as freely as possible.When the dense band closes the transparent, the curtains become completely dark and do not transmit light. How to make a collection of designs for the curtains "zebra", see the video.

For maximum convenience, the shutters are equipped with an electric drive, so the process of lifting the curtains becomes automated. The lifting mechanisms drive the electric motors, which are part of the curtain design, in addition to the web, shaft and duct, as well as the remote control. For rooms with high ceilings, in the case of skylights, if they are located in hard-to-reach places - in all these scents it is very convenient to open the curtains at the touch of a button.
