Which roller blinds and blinds can be mounted on plastic windows without drilling: existing varieties

The design of roller blinds can vary greatly. Before you give preference to a certain type, it is worth getting acquainted with the existing ones, as well as how you can hang roller ones.

Free-hanging roller blinds for plastic windows

Most affordable option, represented by a wide model range. In such designs, the drum on which the fabric is wound is open. Free-hanging roller blinds do not sag the moment the shutter is tilted or opened. For their production they are used various materials, and the movement of the web can be provided by manual or automatic drive.

Simple and automatic mini roller blinds

The simplest and most affordable option with compact dimensions. The fabric is wound on a small reel located on the sash. A special installation technology prevents frame destruction.

Reason #1. Magnetic holders allow you to fix the bottom rail, thereby preventing the canvas from sagging.

We invite you to look at photos on plastic windows:

Depending on the drive used, systems can be mechanical or automatic. The first ones are opened and closed manually, while the second ones are done using a remote control. Working automatic systems from batteries or from the network.

“Zebra” – mini roller blinds

Zebra roll systems have a double web. It alternates dense and translucent stripes. Due to the displacement of both canvases, the intensity of the light flux changes.

Reason #2. Such structures rarely go up: combining dense stripes allows you to achieve optimal results in terms of light transmission.

Cassette roller blinds for plastic windows: design features and types

To accommodate the shaft for winding the fabric, in such systems a special box is used, designed in various colors. The cassette roller blinds themselves move along guides attached to the plastic windows. This ensures optimal protection against bright sun.

Simple and automatic uni-blinds

When folded, the canvas inside the box is not noticeable and is reliably protected from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Reason #3. Roller blind guides prevent the curtain from sagging. The required height of the canvas is adjusted using a chain. A special clamp attached to the frame allows you to fix the chain and prevent it from sagging.

Attention! Installing an electric motor allows you to automate the opening and closing process.

Assembling a roller blind: instructions are provided by the manufacturer

Before installation of blinds or roller blinds on plastic windows begins, it is necessary to assemble the structure. The order of work depends on the design features of a particular model. Each manufacturer, along with the components, includes instructions that tell in detail how to assemble a roller blind and in what sequence the elements should be connected.

Assembly is often performed in the following sequence:

Illustration	Description of action
	We thread the fishing line into the plastic bracket. We securely fasten it to prevent it from being pulled out during operation.
	We connect the elements of the holder to the bracket one by one, following the manufacturer’s instructions. All connections must be strong.
	Insert the chain into the lifting mechanism holder using a small screwdriver.
	We connect the assembled fasteners with the twisted roller blind. You must first decide on the side of the chain.

We invite you to watch a video that describes the components for roller blinds: Installation roller blinds on plastic windows with double-sided tape

This mounting option does not involve dismantling the structure. Therefore, work should be performed efficiently and very carefully, the first time, in the following sequence:

Illustration	Description of action
	We attach the assembled structure to the frame to determine where to attach the blinds to the plastic windows. We apply markings. We control the horizontalness of the axis on which the roller blind is screwed.
	In accordance with the markings made, we apply fasteners and securely fix them, having previously degreased the contact area.
	We install roller blinds on plastic windows in glued holders.

Attaching roller blinds to magnets using double-sided tape

Neodymium magnets are often used as fasteners; due to their characteristics, they can withstand a fairly large load. With their help, the upper and lower cornices can be fixed.

Magnets can be located at the top or bottom of the system. Located at the bottom, the magnet prevents the curtain from sagging on the open sash.

Advice! Before gluing the magnet with double-sided tape, be sure to degrease the base.

Installing roller blinds on plastic windows with L-shaped hooks

If you plan to use the mounted system from time to time, you should pay attention to L-shaped hooks. Installing roller blinds on plastic windows in this case is quite simple:

• we assemble the system;
• hang it on the sash.

If desired, the structure can be easily removed and stored in. We invite you to watch a video that shows in detail how to hang roller blinds on plastic windows using L-shaped hooks:

There was a time when there were no curtains for windows. IN best case scenario the window opening was covered with a napkin or a piece of canvas to fit the frame. As time went on, curtains and tulle made our windows beautiful and elegant. What now? We return again to a functional piece of “canvas”, the name of which is blinds.

Types of blinds

For home comfort Today there are a dozen types of such designs: with vertical or horizontal slats, roller shutters and pleated windows, for attic windows and interframe ones, for arched openings or bay windows, beautiful Roman curtains and multi-textured blinds, with electric drive or protective (roller) blinds, unusual photo blinds.

This type of window decoration is made from different materials: they are wooden and bamboo, metal (aluminium) and fabric, plastic and paper. Among all blinds, roller blinds are becoming increasingly popular.

There are several types of them, differing from each other in the material used, size, mounting method and installation option:

• Classic open roller blinds Look great on large windows. They are installed with mounts on the ceiling or on a wall or in a window opening. They are controlled using a chain or a spring mechanism. Such curtains take up minimal space, cover a large window space, and therefore have a low cost. At the same time, they quickly become dirty, windows are difficult to open, and installation requires manly strength.

• Cassette closed Uni. The twisted fabric is fixed in a plastic box, which can match the color of the PVC window panels. The cassette is installed directly on the frame. Due to a chain or spring mechanism, the fabric unwinds from the roller. Buyers like this type of roller shutter, since the frame is hardly noticeable on the window block, the canvas does not interfere with opening the window, and moves away from the glass literally a centimeter. The window sill is not cluttered by the structure. Two boxes can be installed on each frame: at the bottom and at the top. The curtains will open and close towards each other. Can be mounted on inclined roof windows. The only drawback is the high cost.

• Mini roller blinds open ones can be installed on the window sash and directly on the frame. The mechanism of the system is chain. These roller blinds are self-adhesive, that is, they do not require drilling of the window, or they are attached to self-tapping screws or brackets. The mechanism does not interfere with opening the window, the curtain does not occupy the window sill. Due to the invisible fishing line used, careful handling is required to secure the curtain. If you used double-sided tape for fastening, from high temperatures it may “melt” and the structure will fall.

When choosing the type and type of roller shutters, do not forget that:

• they must correspond to the overall design of the room;
• if there are large window sills, it is better to leave them for flowers or under shelves, and choose cassette curtains with fastening on the frame;
• For small windows, roller blinds mounted on the ceiling or wall are more suitable - this will visually enlarge the window openings.

Installation methods

Before choosing an installation method, you need to decide on the installation location of the roller shutters. They can be installed on the ceiling or upper slope of a window, on the wall above the opening, in the pier on vertical slopes, on a blind window, on an opening window sash, on glass.

Please note that the longer the mounting bracket, the more blade is wound onto the shaft. For textured or long fabric, choose the longest brackets.

There are the following methods for installing roller blinds:

• by drilling a wall, ceiling or window opening, installing plastic or wooden dowels into the holes, attaching brackets with self-tapping screws or self-tapping screws;

• by drilling the window frame and attaching the holders with self-tapping screws;

• without using a drill and a screwdriver, by installing curtains on clamp brackets (clips);

• without drilling, by gluing with double-sided tape.

How to assemble?

When purchasing a roller shutter, the kit will include all the necessary mounting materials:

1. Lifting control device with bushings and chain.
2. Side plugs, clamps and brackets for the mechanism with a cross for self-tapping screws (you may have to purchase additional metal brackets for the wall, ceiling, or clips for the window sash).
3. Guide line (synthetic string).
4. Stoppers for the chain, fixing the position of the canvas at the top and bottom.
5. Mounting board and double-sided tape.
6. Magnets-clamps for fastening the curtain with the bottom strip to the frame.

Manufacturers offer large selection kits for installing roller blinds. Choose the one that suits your mounting method, and then you won’t have to purchase additional elements. If your frameless blinds were purchased in a store and not made to order exactly to size, then there may be a problem with fitting the structure to size.

You can trim some types of curtains yourself. To do this:

• measure the window: the best experts recommend that when installing it on the frame, take into account the width of the opening plus the width of the glazing bead - this will be the width of the panel and shaft;
• unfold the curtain and remove it from the shaft;
• measure and cut off the excess shaft with a hacksaw;
• cut off (saw off) the excess of the bottom strip to the curtain;
• place the canvas on a flat surface;

• measure the required width and draw an auxiliary line;
• cut off excess fabric with sharp scissors or a construction knife;
• The canvas can not be cut to length, but simply fixed using limiters; if trimming is needed, then disconnect the canvas from the shaft, cut it off at the top and re-glue it to the shaft.
• Now the roller blind is ready for assembly.

The roller shutter can be with or without a guide line. The method of assembling the structure depends on this. But always start by reading the instructions.

Assemble the curtain without a string as follows:

1. Determine which side will be more convenient for you to use the control mechanism.
2. Place a roll of canvas slightly unfolded from the top edge in front of you.
3. Find the adhesive strip with a protective film on the shaft and remove it.
4. Place the roller on top of the very edge of the fabric so that the adhesive strip rests on the fabric.
5. Glue the canvas to the shaft.
6. Start winding the fabric onto the shaft by simply turning the shaft towards you and winding the fabric at the same time. Do this carefully, the fabric should lie flat.
7. Insert a metal or wooden weight strip into the fold of the bottom edge.
8. Insert the side clamp into the shaft on one side, and the clamp with the control mechanism on the other.

The string in the roller shutter tensions the canvas and does not allow it to sag attic windows and when opening the doors. The fishing line protects the product and keeps it intact longer

There are several ways to attach the string to the window panel. The chosen method depends on the design features of the roller blinds. We offer one way.

Assemble the curtain with the string in the same way as the previous method with the following steps:

• The weighting bar for the lower edge of the canvas must be equipped with side holes for fishing line.
• Cut the string from the set in half.
• There are holes on the brackets where the roller blinds will be attached. Thread one piece of fishing line into one fastener and tie with a double knot.
• Do the same with the second piece of fishing line and paired fasteners.
• Install the shaft with the curtain into the brackets, unfold the fabric to the maximum required length.
• The fishing line hangs freely vertically along the canvas on both sides.
• Thread it through the holes on the weighting material.
• Attach brackets with holes for fishing line to the bottom panel of the frame.
• Align the canvas, tension the strings and tie them to the brackets.
• Now you can raise and lower the curtain roll, open and close the window - the strings will hold the curtain securely.

This ideal option for roof windows.

Step-by-step installation instructions without drilling

You can do without dowels and screws if you use the following types of fastening: double-sided tape or clamping brackets (clips). You can use tape to attach fasteners to the frame and opening sash of a window or glass. But clips are used only on sashes.

When attaching with tape, follow these simple instructions:

• The frame must be dry and warm, without condensation.
• Treat the joints with degreasing agents (both on the frame and on the fasteners).
• Mark the attachment points with a pencil, use a level for this. Focus not on the window sill or frame, but on the horizon, otherwise the curtain fabric will warp.
• Remove protective film with adhesive tape and stick to the fasteners.
• Remove the second protective film and attach the fasteners to the frame or glass.
• Insert the side curtain clips (one is blind, the other is chained).
• Insert a roller with a cloth into them.

• Having decided on the length of the canvas, install limiters on the chain.
• At the level of the bottom bar, make markings on the frame for attaching magnets.
• Place metal washers (hardware) on tape and secure to the frame.
• Attach the magnets from the kit symmetrically to the curtain.
• Connect hardware with magnets.

Clamp-brackets (they are also clips, they are also spring brackets) are a real fastening find for home handyman. They come in metal and PVC. For plastic windows it is better to use plastic clips.

For installation, use our simplest instructions.

1. Open the window.
2. Place two brackets on top and try out how the window will close.
3. Mark the places where the clips are attached to the frame so that they do not interfere with the roller blind and the frame.
4. For safe use, glue the clamps to the frame with double-sided tape (do not forget to degrease the surfaces).
5. Insert the side clips.
6. Install the shaft with the roll.
7. Check the functionality of the design.

Correctly installing roller shutters on metal brackets

If before this we were mainly talking about attaching curtains to window frames, now we’ll talk about installing structures in a more labor-intensive way: using a drill and a screwdriver. In addition to these tools, you will need a level, plumb line, screwdriver, dowels, metal brackets, screws, pencil, pen or marker, hammer, stepladder or table (chair), glue (in the form of PVA or liquid nails) - if you accidentally made the hole larger whatever you need, place the dowel on the glue.

You will need all these tools to secure the box with roller blinds to the wall or ceiling or the upper slope of the window opening using metal brackets. In this work, accurate calculations are very important. Be careful when marking. Extra holes in the wall will not decorate it.

Before starting installation, check whether the surface is level. Any bump or dent can prevent the structure from being installed smoothly. Level the wall or, if possible, choose other mounting points.

On the wall

A curtain is installed on the wall for several reasons:

• to hide defects in the window sill and window;
• to visually enlarge the window;
• to insulate the room.

Procedure:

• Determine the center of the window.
• Place the assembled roller shutter with brackets against the wall above the upper slope of the window.
• Center it and level it.
• Mark the mounting locations through the holes of the brackets with a pencil or marker.
• Disconnect the brackets from the roller.
• Drill holes according to the marks and install dowels in them.
• Use a screwdriver or screwdriver to secure the brackets.
• For a roll of fishing line, follow the instructions given above.
• Install the shaft into the brackets and secure with clamps.
• Place belt movement limiters on the chain.

To the ceiling

When you need to visually stretch a room, install blinds from the ceiling. They can end at the level of the window sill or be longer. In this case, the same metal brackets are used for installation, but their holes are turned towards the ceiling.

If the level shows you a violation of the horizon due to uneven ceilings, place a small wooden or plastic pad under the bracket to level the structure.

On the upper slope in the window opening

Since slopes are not always level and horizontal relative to the floor, be sure to use a level. Otherwise, the canvas may become skewed and the roller blind will not be able to function properly. In addition, carefully select the size of the curtain. For mounting, use the same metal brackets and our instructions. If you are fixing the brackets to wooden wall, ceiling or slope, then this can be done with self-tapping screws without drilling or dowels.

On the frame sash

We have already told you how to attach a roller blind without drilling, but now we want to introduce you to installing a curtain with PVC guides.

The cassette model with a box is installed in the following way:

1. Remove the side plugs from the box.
2. Attach the box to the top bead of the frame and mark holes for fastening the structure.
3. Using a screwdriver or screwdriver, screw in the screws on both sides.
4. Replace the plugs.
5. Release the canvas, approximately 10-15 cm.
6. Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape on the guide.
7. Carefully glue both guides so that the canvas is under them, slightly pressed against the glass.
8. Place limiters on the chain.
9. If your curtain does not have a chain, then you need to install a decorative weight included in the kit on the bottom bar.

Another way to install roller blinds is not at the top, but in the middle or bottom. This original way turned out to be possible thanks to the emergence of a new type of Mix curtains. The design is so interesting and elegant that it will definitely attract your attention. At the core is a guide string along which the canvas moves. In this case, the light box can be located both at the top and in the middle or lower down.

Depending on which mounting method you use, the size of your curtains will be different, although the window is the same.

When you take measurements, remember:

• Curtains with ceiling and wall fastenings are the easiest to model. Here you can make a mistake by a couple of centimeters, since they are superimposed on top of the window opening. The model depends entirely on the designer's vision. The width should be made about 10 cm wider than the opening, and the length should be as desired.
• When installing on a wall, please note that the box on top will take approximately 5 cm.
• Roller blind for window opening less space settings at 4 cm.
• The canvas for roller shutters with PVC guides must be strictly the width of the glass, since the guides are attached to the glazing beads.

• For the Mini system, the fabric must be three centimeters wider than the glass: one centimeter on the glazing bead at the handle, two centimeters at the hinges.
• When using a guide string, the width of the canvas is equal to the width of the glass plus 3 cm if you do not want there to be side gaps.
• Before mounting on metal brackets, make sure that the leg is long enough so that the roll does not subsequently touch the wall. ½ shaft radius + 1 cm – the distance to the edge of the bracket from the wall, necessary for normal operation of the roller blinds.

• The air humidity in the room where such blinds are used should be no higher than 70 percent.
• Since the canvas is impregnated with a special dirt-repellent composition, do not try to clean it often with a wet method. Before use, check the composition of the fabric and the rules for caring for it.

To ensure that roller blinds serve you for a long time, raise and lower them using a control mechanism (chain or weight).

• Incorrect measurements. Don’t forget – the concept of “fabric width” is not equal to the concept of “curtain width”. Don't forget about the fasteners and the box.
• Inappropriate mounting method. If the kit includes brackets for the window sash, and you plan to install the frame on the wall, then you have made a wasted purchase: you cannot install the curtain this way, and the size will not fit.
• Not enough details. You can buy fasteners and accessories in stores, but you need to start with the seller of the product. And here it is important to do it within two weeks from the date of purchase. Don't forget the receipt!
• The belief that it will be possible to do without drilling. This does not always happen. Double-sided tape is not all-powerful. It makes no sense to attach the box to the wall or ceiling, and it’s dangerous.
• Uneven fastening due to overestimation of one's eye. Feel free to use the level! It is always more annoying to redo it than to do it well the first time.
• Inability to remove the control unit. Upon purchase ready-made curtains check them design features: There are models in which the control mechanism cannot be removed. This will result in your window having two right-handed or left-handed curtains. It's ugly and makes it difficult to open the window.
• The mounting brackets are installed too close to the wall. This will interfere with unfolding and folding the roll. Provide other details or options.

How to care

But now the moment has come when the curtains are installed and you are actively using them. This means that soon the question will appear on the agenda: how to clean them?

• Since a roller blind is a canvas, it absorbs not only dust, but also odors. Ventilate the room regularly: this will get rid of odors and shake off dust.
• If necessary, you can use a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a cloth attachment. If you do this every time you clean, the curtains will remain clean for a long time.

• A good remedy is an eraser. The canvas is impregnated, and the eraser will wipe off various stains well. Just don't touch the holes!

• If this does not help, remove the box, disassemble it and take the canvas to a good dry cleaner.
• Don't have dry cleaning or extra money? Then pour it into the bath warm water and a non-aggressive detergent without bleach. Place the canvas in the bath and gently scrub it with a soft sponge. Rinse the curtain several times. Make sure that detergent(especially granules) did not remain on the canvas.

IN modern apartments In houses and homes, plastic windows have long been no longer a rarity, but rather a necessity; they are very different from their wooden counterparts, so the design needs to be chosen accordingly.

The style of plastic windows is rather businesslike, minimalist, so to create home comfort you need to carefully consider the choice of curtains.

Roller blinds are an excellent choice; they have a number of advantages over conventional blinds and traditional curtains.

WHAT DISTINGUISHING ADVANTAGES DO FABRIC ROLLER ROLLERS HAVE?

Roller blinds are simple and reliable to use, their mechanism is simplified to the maximum to increase service life and reduce breakdowns - the curtain fabric is wound onto the base shaft using various lifting mechanisms. Such curtains are more practical to maintain - cleaning them is not difficult, since the material is impregnated with a dust-repellent composition; unlike blinds, they do not have infinite set separate elements, which simplifies operation.

And aesthetically, these solar curtains are much superior to their predecessors - tulle and silk curtains, because grandma's comfort can be recreated only with the appropriate wooden windows. One of the decisive advantages when choosing light protection is the ability of roller blinds to block sunlight.

WHAT IS “THE TRANSPARENCY OF CURTAINS”?

The light translucency of the material will allow slightly shaded, diffused light to penetrate into the room. sunlight. Such curtains will give cozy atmosphere in the kitchen, or in the office, on the balcony or loggia. For bedrooms and children's rooms, draperies made of denser fabrics, or with a double protection system, when the curtain fabric consists of two layers - one translucent and the second denser - are more suitable.

It is also possible to set these layers on two different shafts, which will allow you to choose which part of the window to shade.

TYPES OF SUN CURTAINS ON PLASTIC WINDOWS

For those whose windows face the sunny side of the yard, a non-transient requirement is good density and high quality products. A type of curtain that does not allow light to pass through at all is called “blackout.”

Fabric of such draperies:

Does not fade in the sun;

It has a reflective effect, which protects the room not only from strong light, but also from the heat in the summer months.

Also, this fabric will appeal to those who like to sleep sweetly and peacefully - one hundred percent protection against sun rays will give even the most sensitive people the opportunity to serenely dream.

A very spectacular and effective option is the version of day-night roller shutter curtains, or, as they are called in everyday life, zebra. These curtains are distinguished by the most intricate mechanism, which provides different levels of shading of the room, due to the alternation of horizontal translucent stripes with light-proof slats. You can adjust from full illumination to absolute shading of the room.

Such curtains will not only fit well into the interior of the room, but will also become an integral part of it, thanks to their beautiful design and wide color selection.

Also for discerning buyers who want to purchase non-standard solution For window design, there are multi-textured roller blinds with slats made of wood, metal, fabric, plastic, arranged vertically. The combination of materials can be selected at will, the texture and design will depend on the imagination and requests of the client.

TYPES OF ROLL Blinds

In order for the curtains to fit harmoniously into your decor and not disturb the design, you need to choose the most suitable type of curtains.

- “Pleated curtains” - corrugated curtains with antistatic impregnation. When rolled up, they are assembled into a neat accordion from the bottom or top of the window, depending on the mechanism.

Roman style curtains form horizontal, even, deep folds when raised. They are distinguished by a special, memorable design that you can repeat yourself - there are many simple lessons on how to create Roman blinds with your own hands.

Roller curtains are perfect for any room in your home. For balconies, or other rooms where the level of dust is high and the windows often swing open, it is better to choose washable types of fabric, or ones that are resistant to frequent use. wet cleaning. You should also pay attention to the fastening and lifting mechanism.

SELECTION OF MOUNTING AND TYPE OF SUN CURTAIN MECHANISM

Roller blinds are attached with brackets or with double-sided tape. Even a girl can install drapery with snaps, it is so easy to use. There is also a method of fastening with self-tapping screws, but this method is not suitable for everyone - it all depends on the type of plastic window.

The simplest and affordable way secure the curtain with liquid nails. This type of fastening will not harm the integrity of your window and will not depressurize the package. But only lightweight structures can be secured in this way; for cassette-type curtains, it is better to choose a more reliable fastening.

For plastic, wooden and aluminum windows there are two types of roller curtains - roller and roller-cassette. Rolled ones refer to open views curtains, where the block itself remains visible. This is the simplest, cheapest and, as a result, the most common category of curtains.

Roller cassette curtains are assembled into a compact cassette-type cornice; they are ideal for folding shutters, since the canvas is fixed in guides that leave no gaps for sunlight to penetrate.

ATTACHING CURTAINS TO PLASTIC WINDOWS HANDMADE

For an aesthetically perfect and neat look, the optimal way to attach curtains is with latches.

To perform this simple operation you will need a snap mechanism and double-sided adhesive tape.

First, the mounting location on the window and the latch itself must be degreased.

Then we measure out the required amount of double-sided tape and cut it off, attaching the latch to the window. This will allow

We mount and securely fix the holders in the latch grooves.

We insert the curtain fabric on the shaft between them.

And the last important stage is the installation of a spike with a gear for the chain mechanism on the shaft.

A variety of colors, prints, high-quality materials for the manufacture and design of roller blinds will allow you to rest assured that you have made the right choice, which is easy to see by looking at photos of curtains for plastic windows.

Ground floor, glare on the computer, sunny side, aesthetics, design - and you never know what other reasons exist that encourage you to purchase. Not everyone is satisfied with the principle of fastening roll structures on . The editors of the online magazine site have prepared this material especially for those who are just looking at it, and for those who have already decided to purchase roller blinds for plastic windows without drilling. Let's consider this issue in detail from all sides to understand how good such a design is, and whether it is worth paying attention to it at all.

Regular roller blinds have standard view installation - to the wall with self-tapping screws or other types of fasteners. Not everyone is happy with this, and it is not always possible to securely fasten them. For example, if the wall is made of cellular concrete, and there is no special one at hand, then no other fastener will hold such a curtain, which is constantly in use.
