The way and location of the blinds to the window is determined by their design and size. Blinds are available in both horizontal and vertical versions. The latter can both move in one direction, and move apart or gather in the center of the window. They can be either wide or narrow. In addition, you need to think whether you need a window sill( for example, to place flower pots).
You can fasten the blinds in the window opening or on top of it, to the wall or to the upper slope of the window. They are fixed and to the ceiling - it all depends on the type of blinds, and on a particular room. The basis of any kind of blinds is the cornice, which serves as the bearing element of the entire assembly. Therefore, fixing the blinds is to fix the cornice in a certain place and in a certain position. Support for it serve as special brackets, on which, with the help of a pivot rod, the cornice is kept.
Horizontal blinds are usually attached directly to the window sash frame. But this is the case if the blinds are short, with the expectation of one leaf. If the blinds have a length along the entire window opening, then they are fastened either above the window( on the wall or on the upper escarpment) or on the ceiling.
The installation itself does not present a problem, however, when working with plastic windows, you need to observe accuracy and accuracy. Before drill a hole in the plastic, it is necessary to accurately mark the places for the installation of brackets. Erroneously drilled a hole in the plastic make "invisible" will be difficult. If it is then sealed with a sealant, then eventually this place will still stand out.
If the fastening is done above the window, on the upper slope, you should first find out what material it was made of. If it's just a painted sheet of fiberboard or plastic, the reliability of such fastening can not be guaranteed.
The procedure for installing the blinds is as follows:
- brackets are attached and a cornice is installed( the fixation is usually fixed to the bracket with a rotary mechanism, which allows you to remove and fasten the blinds without problems);
- fixers( cords), lamellas, runners( if they are not assembled) are installed;
- adjusting the clamps.
When installing blinds, it is necessary to take into account such factor as the appearance of the whole window after installation. Therefore, there can not be a single recipe where to install the brackets. You should rely on the convenience of using blinds and to your taste. It should be noted that the side where the adjusting cord is located will be subjected to a greater load. Therefore, its fixing must be given special attention.
And most importantly - all the blinds have a strict regular geometry. Even the slightest bias in the markup will not only spoil the appearance of the window, but also complicate the work of the mechanism of these "curtains".
