window The blinds will look appropriate and harmonious only if their dimensions correspond to the dimensions of the window. Therefore, measurements - the most important stage, which must be met before the purchase of the window device.
Measure the width from the left corner and the glazing bead to the right corner and the glazing bead. Also from the upper bezel to the bottom. The length should be equal to the distance from the beginning of the upper beak to the beginning of the lower beak.
How to fix the blinds
There are two ways to install:
- Fastening to the glazing bead. It requires great care, especially when choosing self-tapping screws, since by choosing the wrong length for the screw, it is possible to scratch the glass, and this can reduce the sealing and thermal insulation properties for the glass unit.
- Fastening on a profile. After installation, it is difficult to replace it if it breaks.
To use the blinds in the corner part of the room, you need to choose models with a fixed bottom, otherwise with strong ventilation they will remember and change their appearance.
Assembling the blinds
Take the screwdriver, the marker and the screwdriver. On the place where the upper fastening of the blinds will be, put a mark for screwing the screws. This will avoid inaccuracies and the need to correct errors. Mark the place using the bracket attached to the intended place, and screw the screw. After that, fix the latches to the bottom of the blinds and put on the brackets. Check how the structure is fixed, and you can proceed with further work.

By twisting the rollers with grooves, fabric vertical blinds are assembled inside. Next, you need to place the lamellas in the rollers before they click. Then put in the lower part of the slats small weights, which are regulated by a chain. The cornice is ready for attaching decorative panels.
Method 1: installation of blinds to the ceiling and slopes
This type of installation is realized by screwing the screws into the slopes. Take the cornice and attach it to the window in order to mark the passageways of the fastening. Then punch the hole in those places and place the dowels. Try not to touch the puncher with slopes, otherwise the wall may crack and split. After screwing the dowels, a cornice is attached to them, which is fixed with screws.
