Roller blinds on wooden windows. Roller blinds as an interior to wooden windows. The principle of installation on self-tapping screws

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.

The article describes various ways settings: for plastic and wooden frames windows, 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 fastener or on adhesive tape. Can be fixed:

  • on the window profile;
  • to the slope inside the window opening;
  • above 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 a package with a finished roller blind there are 2 different kit fasteners, and the buyer chooses at his discretion. When ordering for 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, the deformation of structures is less likely due to the rational distribution of the load (the center of gravity will be under the self-tapping 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 mounting on 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.

Without drilling into the plastic profile, roller blinds can be fixed using spring 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. Having decided to install a roller blind on wooden windows using 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 the 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. conventional drill will not be up to the 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 drive 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 the functionality of window handles or frames.
  • 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.

By lowering the curtains, on the contrary, you can hide from the bright, sometimes annoying light. In this case, the window with them will merge into a single whole.

Features of roller blinds

Already by their name roller blinds speak for themselves. The design has the form of a single web, which, using a simple chain mechanism, is easily rolled up onto an aluminum shaft. On the sides, the canvas is fixed with plastic brackets that can be mounted to the ceiling or wall.

The chain mechanism controls the height of the canvas, which is fixed at a certain level. In this way, you can adjust the flow of bright daylight. Another feature of this design is that you can install roller blinds on wooden windows without drilling and without much risk.

  • Spring control mechanism;
  • Cassette system;
  • With guides and box;
  • Remote control (with electric drive).

A variety of products allows them to be installed not only on ordinary wooden and plastic windows, but also in attics.

For large windows or windows located in hard-to-reach places, it is better to choose designs controlled by a remote control.

Mounting options for roller blinds

Fastening of products is carried out to the wall at the distance of the window opening or directly to the window sashes. The second method is convenient if roller blinds are attached to wooden windows with a window, which allows you to open it separately from other shutters. To do this, canvases are made separately according to the size of each sash.

Mounting on the window sashes is different in that the entire window sill remains free, and the sashes open and close without interference. Mounting on a window opening is relevant not only as protection from the sun, but also serves as an element of room decor. With this mounting option, the sash can be opened completely and the brackets will not create obstacles.

Roller blind design options

Sometimes users mistakenly believe that roll structures are only designed to prevent bright sunlight from entering the room. However, products can be manufactured using light filters having different color shades and different light transmission. Owners of such products can enjoy their favorite soothing shades, as well as choose the type of fabric to their taste. For example:

  • Transparent material - allows you to scatter sunlight;
  • Translucent fabric - transmits light and delays the release of heat. With such curtains in the room is always light. They are the perfect solution for winter garden or greenhouses;
  • Opaque material - transmits the sun's rays into the room by only 10 percent. This type of fabric is perfect for bedrooms or children's rooms.

It must be remembered that when choosing roller blinds for wooden windows, windows come in different sizes and types of glazing. These include:

  • open;
  • Cassette;
  • Minicassette;
  • Large;
  • Attic.

A popular option are open roller blinds.

The canvas is evenly collected on the aluminum shaft and it closes the window evenly thanks to the plumb line at the bottom of the curtain. The cassette version is different in that the web is wound on the same shaft, however, it is hidden in a cassette box. This option will not spoil the overall interior of the room. Minicassette are installed in the window opening, where the canvas is assembled into a beveled or double shaft.

Installation of dormer curtains is made on windows of the big sizes.

Such structures are designed to protect shop windows or glass surfaces from sunlight. Many people think that it is very difficult to install curtains of such dimensions, however, despite their size, they are quite easy to install. For this, there are precise fasteners.

Ways of fastening roller blinds

This is a practical design option for a wooden window, they are durable and easy to care for. Installation of the structure can be done independently. There are several types of fastening:

  • Mounting to a wall or ceiling - this method of installation is more suitable for windows that have big sizes. Mounting is done with brackets. To do this, you need to drill several holes in the ceiling or wall, depending on where the curtain will be placed. The profiles of the structure, on which the fabric of the product is fixed, are fastened with the help of special elements;
  • Fastening to the window frame - this method of installation requires care and patience, since the fastening holes are drilled directly into the frame. He is considered one of the best designs modern design rooms;
  • No-drill fixing is the easiest way to install roller blinds. For this, special glue or double-sided construction tape is used. AT modern construction There are various types of fasteners.
