Finally, textile curtains and blinds have a worthy competition in the form of roller blinds . They look more original and fit into any interior, from classical to more progressive (modern, avant-garde). A great advantage of this design is that it can be installed independently. How to install the roller blinds themselves, without violating the opening mechanism? About this below.
How to install roller blinds correctly?
Fastening can be carried out in different ways - above the window, on the ceiling or the wall, and in the attic windows - even at an inclination. Consider the type of attachment at which the curtain is mounted on the sash of the window. With this option, the window can be opened together with the curtain. Before you attach roller blinds you need to purchase certain tools:
- level with ampoules;
- drill;
- self-tapping screws and dowels;
- pencil.
After that you can make the installation:
- Mark and mount the bracket. Mark the position of the first attachment with a pencil. At the designated location, drill a hole in which to insert the plug. Carefully screw the fasteners. The second bracket is fixed strictly parallel to the first one.
- Mount the blind. In the tube with the cloth, place the latches with gears and insert it into the bracket. If everything is done correctly, then a characteristic click will be heard.
- Set the correctors for the chain. In the set there are special plastic proof-readers, which need to be installed in the lower part of the window. They reduce the load on the chain when opening the curtains.
- Check the operation of the system.
If you find it difficult to install such roller blinds on your own, then select models with adhesive tape. They are quite simple to use and do not require additional tools for installation. You can also choose curtains based on bamboo fibers. Before you attach a bamboo roller blind, just insert a pair of dowels into the top of the window. The product is simply hung on hinges and does not need special brackets.
