This must be taken into account so as not to exceed the dimensions of the window frame when installing on tilt-and-turn windows or in a window opening.

Roller blinds day-night are products that belong to modern developments in the field of sun protection systems. Thanks to their unique design, they combine the advantages of conventional curtains and horizontal blinds. In addition to the fact that zebra roll products are a modern design development, they are actively used when decorating window space.

Double structure roller blinds day-night is very simple. But they have some differences from the classic models. Such blinds consist of two panels of fabric, on which there is an alternating change of transparent and translucent stripes. As a result of this process, these stripes move along the fabric, so they change the intensity of illumination and light transmission. Thus, like blackout roller blinds, they are designed to protect you from excess light.

The first option is characterized by the usual rolling of the curtain and it will be noticeable. In the second option, the product will be in a protective box.

Light transmission

Before choosing the presented products, many people ask the following question: how to determine the degree of transmittance luminous flux? The first thing you need to know is that the material for roller shutters differs in the amount of light transmitted into the room.

Such blinds will be a great addition to curtains and will play a decorative role.

Installation process

Before you begin installing zebra roller blinds, you must immediately determine where they will be placed: on the wall, inside the window, on the sashes. After this, you can proceed to measuring the window opening. Taking into account the type and location (on the sash, “overlay” or in the opening), fastening methods are also distinguished. Let's take a closer look at standard fastening using self-tapping screws:

The video shows roller blinds day and night, assembly and installation instructions:

Installation on hanging brackets made of plastic and metal

It is advisable to choose this installation method in the case where there are opening window sashes. The procedure is as follows (instructions):

  1. Place the hanging structures in standard brackets. If metal ones are used, then it is necessary to bend their petals in advance.
  2. Delete protective layer tape
  3. Attach the bracket to the top of the open sash.
  4. Further installation work carried out according to the standard scheme.

Fixation with tape

For this installation method, it is advisable to follow the following action plan:

  1. Snap on the attachments required for gluing the brackets.
  2. Treat the surface of the window profile where the product will be installed with a degreasing compound.
  3. Heat the tape with a hair dryer.
  4. Delete protective film and stick it to the surface.
  5. Installation work is carried out similarly to the standard scheme.

No matter which installation method you choose, the location of the brackets must be strictly horizontal. Then, during use of the products, it is possible to avoid skewing of the fabric, and the uncovered section of the chain mechanism will be directed downward.

Famous manufacturers

Today the market for such products is simply overcrowded. Each manufacturer guarantees excellent quality at an affordable price. Therefore, it is sometimes very difficult to decide on the required model of zebra roller blinds. Let's look at the most popular manufacturers of these products:


Day-night curtains are roller blinds, but they have one serious advantage - you can change the degree of their light transmission.

The trick is that the curtain consists of alternating strips of fabric of different densities. At the bottom of the curtain, instead of a weight strip, there is a roller that allows you to move the canvases one relative to the other. Thus, you can change the density of the curtain, either by combining dark areas and making the curtain 50% transparent, or on the contrary, placing areas thick fabric in a checkerboard pattern, thereby darkening the room.

Before learning how to cut day-night curtains (or “zebra”, as they are also called), let’s understand the features of installing this type of roller blinds.

Installation of roller blinds “day-night”:

  1. If you have a standard window, the roller blinds will be installed directly above the window opening - most likely it will be a solid curtain. To shorten it, invite another person to help you so that you can comfortably and calmly remove the curtain, measure everything, cut it, put it back together and hang it in place.
  2. If you have a window non-standard shape, the roller blinds will most likely be screwed to the ceiling. It is not difficult to remove them from there if the window is small. In other cases, enlist the help of a reliable person.
  3. If you have a narrow window, the roller blinds will be directly on the sash. Here you can easily handle it yourself.
  4. If the window design allows, roller blinds can be mounted in window opening. Here, the difficulty of working with them also directly depends on the width that the curtains cover.

How to cut day-night curtains to width

This is done in the same way as for regular roller blinds:

  1. Remove the curtain and unfold the fabric;
  2. Remove the lower shaft (cylinder that allows you to change the position of the strips of fabric);
  3. Mark the fabric and both shafts.
  4. Cut the shafts with a hacksaw and file the edges.

    5. IMPORTANT! The upper shaft should be 8-10 mm wider than the blade, the lower one 10-15 mm narrower.

  5. Assemble the curtain and secure the plugs.
  6. Hang the curtain back on the window.

How to shorten day-night curtains in length

It's easier because you don't even need to take the curtain apart. Just remove it from the window and see how many strips of fabric you need to remove. Cut them, sew or staple the edges and return the curtain to its place.

The article provides detailed step-by-step instruction how to install day-night blinds.
The first step is to decide where you plan to place the roller blinds: in front of the window opening, in the opening itself, or on the window sash.

Marking

In the first case, the width of the blinds should exceed the width of the window by 8-10 cm (i.e. on the sides by 4-5 cm). In height, they should also overlap it by 10 centimeters. Don’t forget to check whether the window opens normally.
When installing day-night blinds inside a window opening, the width of the roller blind should be approximately 2 cm less than the width of the window at each edge. The height of the curtains should not reach the window sill the same amount, i.e. 2 cm.
In the latter case, when we attach it to the sash, the width of the roller blinds should exceed the glass by 3 cm, and the height they should exceed it by 12 centimeters.
If the windows are located flush with the roller blinds, the window handle should not interfere with the lowering of the curtain, window hinges should not interfere with the use of curtains.
It is better to measure using a metal construction tape, it allows for the greatest accuracy.


Now let's move on to how to install day-night blinds

Standard installation with self-tapping screws

1. After determining the distance to the edges of the window, mark the place where the bracket will first be secured.
2. Make a hole at this point and insert a dowel into it
3. Screw the mount, be extremely careful.
4. Install the second bracket as described above
5. An auxiliary fastening must be placed 12 cm from the location of the control chain, since there the greatest load falls on the mechanism.
6. Install the curtain into the brackets on the side of the main control mechanism.
7. A distinct click indicates that the curtain is correctly inserted into the pipe and closed by the gears.
8. Now you should install the correctors up to the regulating chain and check the installation. Make sure that the fabric is wound without distortion.
9. Secure the bracket covers.
Installation of open, closed, mini-cassette day-night blinds in other ways is shown in the video.
