Wooden windows

The frame for wooden windows is usually made of hardwood or coniferous wood and laminated veneer lumber. For the children's room it is better to choose frames from hardwoods because they are less prone to temperature changes and humidity is not terrible for them. But most often wooden windows are sold all the same from glued beams. Make it from several layers of deciduous wood, which first splice along the length of a special compound that is not afraid of moisture, and then of width. Thanks to this technology, such windows are considered to be the most durable and can last for a quarter of a century.

Conditions for wooden windows in the nursery:

• The frame tree must be 85 cm thick.
• The double-glazed unit must consist of two chambers.
• The inner glass must be energy-saving.
• In the interstitial space there should be krypton or argon, it will create an obstruction to the cold.

Windows of plastic and metal-plastic

When choosing a window from plastic or metal-plastic, pay attention to such moments:

• In the middle climatic region in the window should be about five profile chambers and three double-glazed windows. You can also put a two-chamber if there is an energy-saving glass.
• In the noisy parts of the city you can put a double-glazed window with laminated glass on the window. It will make a less resonating effect and protect the room from loud noises from outside.
• The window should have built-in climate control, so there will always be fresh air in the room, with no drafts, as happens with ventilation.

Safety of children's windows

Windows always attract babies to themselves, like a magnet, because they are so interesting. But for kids this experience can also be dangerous, so the very first task for parents and builders is to protect the child from possible injuries and falls.

What you need to pay attention to:

• When decorating slopes it is better to take natural materials, experts recommend using a cork tree.

Children's Blinds

Scientists insist that the baby can not be in the light that shimmers, especially with regard to sleep, so if you care about the health of your child, it's worth while thinking about the window in the nursery to think about the blinds in the nursery. In the children's room, you can mix blinds of any kind, most importantly, that they are in harmony with the environment.

The most important criterion in choosing blinds is their safety and cleanliness. Cheap blinds made in a clandestine factory can be dangerous to the health of the child, they are exposed to sunlight to produce toxins that can provoke even cancerous diseases. Therefore, choose only the tested products.

Interesting versions of blinds in the nursery:

• A good option - blinds pleated, which consist of two parts, one more dense, and the second less. During the day, you can use translucent fabric, and at night or on daytime sleep, close with a thick cloth to make it dark.

• Roller blinds are attached directly to the frame and leave a free window sill. All the control details are securely hidden from the children's tenacious handles. The fabric of such blinds is usually cotton or polyester, sometimes used with a metallized substrate. These blinds are comfortable in the summer, they reflect almost the entire heat.

• Фотожалюзи is, perhaps, the most favorite blinds for children. Drawing on them is done using photo printing. The image on them is firmly held: it does not burn out, is not subject to the influence of moisture, it can be washed and not worried that the colors will swim or fade. You can make them to order on the desired image, then such blinds will also be exclusive.

If we talk about the color of the blinds, then you can use any shades, although the gloomy colors for the nursery are not too suitable. Also it is necessary to focus on the age of the child, the baby will be approached with blinds with a bright print, and the teenager may wish and strict monophonic. Despite the fact that it is believed that bright colors should prevail in the nursery, they still should not focus on the child's attention and prevent him from studying or resting.

Curtains for a child

One of the rules of the design of a window in a nursery is correctly selected curtains. What you need to pay attention to:

• Curtains should not be very dense or black. The child needs the sunlight for the right development, just like all life on the planet.
• You do not need to choose curtains with 100% cotton content, this fabric easily creases, and you get tired of ironing it. It's better to have at least a little synthetics in the fabric.
• You do not need to save on curtains, consider that expensive fabric can often be washed without damage to it.
• Curtains are best to hang on curtains, so that you can combine them with tulle. He will give the room a cosiness and attractiveness. In the afternoon, curtains need to be moved apart.
• In the children's room there should be two sets of curtains - one for the winter, one for the summer.
• In the nursery with two windows you need to select the same curtains. An exception is a joint room for two children, then you can divide the room into two zones and, accordingly, and curtains to choose suitable.

When decorating curtains, you need to watch them to be larger than the size of the window itself. That's right, if they start from the ceiling and reach the floor. If the curtains are wider than the window itself, they will visually expand the space. But you need to consider the size of the room itself, in a very small room, large curtains will look out of place. Another important nuance - curtains should only complement the interior, but in no case do not focus on yourself, unless it was such an idea for the designer.

It is necessary to think over the safety of the child, and it depends on the reliability of the attachment. Kids often play, pulling the curtains, you need to consider this moment when you hang the curtain and catch the curtain. It is better to double-check and then react calmly when the child comes to the window.
