How to hang blinds on plastic windows? How to install blinds on plastic windows yourself. How to attach horizontal white blinds to a window.

First of all, let's look at the installation horizontal blinds, since install blinds on plastic windows in this case, the most difficult:

take measurements of the same distance from each edge;
Drill a hole in the wall, then insert a dowel into it that will match the wall material. Now you can screw the mount using screws;
Using a ruler and level, measure the location of the second fastener and screw it on. In the case of horizontal blinds, you will also need to use another fastener if the width of the product exceeds the specified distance. Also, if you need to attach vertical blinds to the ceiling, the width of which exceeds one and a half meters, you should use three mounting brackets;
Now you can attach the blinds to the placed mounts.

It is best to use dowels that will match the fastenings used, as well as the material of the walls or ceiling, depending on where exactly you are going to attach the blinds.

Before installing the fasteners, you will need to check in advance whether the folded blinds will prevent the window from opening normally.

Installation without drilling

As mentioned above, this technology will use specialized brackets as the basis. They can be fixed most different ways, and only then can be snapped onto them or screwed Basic structure blinds. The use of this installation option is popular for the reason that after this it will be possible to easily unfasten the blinds for major cleaning or even completely remove them from the window. In this case, no extra holes will remain visible, and the tightness of the window profile will not be compromised.

Installation of the brackets themselves in this case can be done using screws or other methods, such as:

fastening to the top of the sash profile. The use of this method is relevant only when the installation of blinds is carried out on an opening sash;
fastening using standard double-sided tape.

The first option allows you to easily remove everything, including the brackets, almost immediately without the need to perform any additional manipulations with holes and screwdrivers. The second option is similar to how installation is done with screws, but instead of screwing the blinds, they are simply glued to the surface.

Instead of holes for holding fishing line, you can use standard fasteners, which can easily be glued to the bottom of the frame using double-sided tape.

Installation of fasteners

Despite the fact that over the past few years there has been great amount the most diverse interesting options fastenings, the most relevant installation technology is using a standard drill. Almost everyone House master knows very well how to drill, so it will be enough to watch how blinds are installed on plastic windows in the video:

This installation option will allow you not only to hang the blinds normally, but also to secure them securely enough so that they can serve you faithfully for a long time, without loosening or losing their operational advantages.

Blinds in Lately, have gained extraordinary popularity not only in offices, they are also happily placed in residential premises. Attaching blinds to windows provides excellent protection from direct sunlight without interfering with ventilation or opening the windows.

Manufacturers offer several types of blinds

Vertical;
Horizontal;
Accordion or pleated;
Roll type of folding.

Vertical blinds, have the form of vertical lamellas (strips) connected to each other, which move around their axis using a plastic chain. And also, they can be moved left or right.

The operating principle of horizontal blinds is the same as vertical ones. Only folding occurs from bottom to top.

Pleated - they look like an accordion, for this they are impregnated by special means so that they keep their corrugated shape. They can be attached to both a plastic window and a window opening.

Roller blinds - have the appearance of a continuous canvas that can be rolled into a roll, while opening or closing part or all of the window.

Depending on their materials, lamellas can be:

metal;
wooden;
bamboo;
plastic;
made from fabric.

What kind of blinds are the best option for the balcony?

Before you start placing blinds on plastic windows, you should understand whether they are needed at all. Will they become a hindrance when closing or opening the window?

One thing can be said for sure - if a loggia or balcony is converted into a separate room, then blinds are definitely needed.

When choosing blinds, in addition to design and appearance, special attention should be paid to the following points:

functionality and practicality of fasteners;
It should be taken into account that not all types of fastenings are suitable for window units;
practicality of blinds;
It is better to choose plastic or fabric material for the balcony; wood and bamboo can create unnecessary noise.

Nuances when attaching different types of blinds:

Vertical blinds

The peculiarity of mounting vertical light filters is that they are suitable for mounting on a window opening, wall or ceiling. They are not suitable for mounting on sashes and are attached only by drilling.

Horizontal blinds

The most standard blinds that are suitable for almost any plastic windows. They are considered universal; it is possible to mount them both on each sash and between frames.

Roller blinds

For ease of use, it is better to install roll filters on window sashes. If they are placed in a window opening or attached to a wall, then it will not be possible to close or open the window with the filters closed. Besides roller blinds- very delicate, special care must be taken during installation.

How to remove blinds correctly

Over time, like everything else in the house, window structures become covered with dust, so blinds should be removed for cleaning. Each type has its own characteristics when removing.

Removing vertical blinds:

We transfer the slats to the open state, after which we assemble them;
We release the chain from the weights and take out the weights;
We remove each lamella: lift the slider clip and, moving it a little, remove the lamellas one by one.

Removing horizontal blinds:

Remove the cornice from the bracket;
We assemble the lamellas at the top and look for the latch protrusion;
Pull the lock towards you and to the right;
We remove the slats.

Removing roller blinds:

There is a tongue on the bracket; you need to bend it using a screwdriver;
Remove the shaft by pulling it towards you.

A short video on how to install blinds on plastic windows:

Vertical blinds are excellent light protection for a room; they are simple, reliable and almost universal, suitable for designing not only straight, but also complex-shaped openings. Below we offer detailed instructions on how to install vertical blinds with your own hands.

Where to mount

Vertical blinds are not difficult to hang yourself, but it is important to decide where to attach them; there are only two fundamental options installation:

on the ceiling or on the upper horizontal slope of the opening, that is, the cornice is installed on a surface perpendicular to the plane of the window;
on the wall - fastening is done on the top or side walls of the window; here it is necessary to select the correct brackets so that there is sufficient removal of the canvas from vertical plane, and the slats did not cling to the wall.

Basic installation rules

When installing vertical blinds with your own hands, it is important to correctly calculate the location of the brackets. The guide must be installed at such a distance from the plane of the plastic window or wall that the slats hang strictly vertically, without creases, and the protrusions do not interfere with the movement of the curtain. The indentation is calculated in each case individually, and depends on design features windows and blinds. It is necessary to take into account the width of the lamella and add half of this size + 10-20 mm for the gap. Let's look at examples of calculations.

Where to hang it?

If vertical blinds are installed on the ceiling, you can make any indentation. There are limitations for wall mounting as the standard bracket is up to 150mm long. In both cases, to save usable area, the curtain is hung as close to the plastic window as possible. Here you should pay attention to the protrusion of the window sill; we calculate the distance as follows:

draw a visual line from the edge of the window sill to the ceiling, you can extend the tape measure for clarity or use a long stick, mark a point;
to the mark away from the wall/ceiling interface add half the width of the lamella and +10 mm.

Example: lamella width 128 mm, window sill projection along the ceiling 70 mm. We calculate: 128:2 +10 + 70 = 244 mm – the minimum distance from the ceiling/wall interface.

If the blinds are mounted in the opening of a plastic window, then the protrusion of the window sill is not taken into account, therefore, the distance to the cornice is: 128: 2 + 10 = 74 mm.

The length of the lamellas must also be taken into account. If the blinds are to the floor, then a gap of 10-30 mm should be left at the bottom for free movement of the canvas. If the canvas reaches the window sill, then the minimum allowable gap is 5 mm.

Installation instructions

Before installing vertical blinds with your own hands, carefully read the manufacturer's instructions. The cornice assembly must be carried out in strict accordance with the attached diagram. For more details on how to assemble vertical blinds, see the video below.

For installation you will need:

roulette;
level;
pencil;
drill;
self-tapping dowel No. 6 or 8;
screwdriver.

Follow the instructions above to make the markings.

Draw a line between the marks. Since the geometry of the premises is far from ideal, in order to get an even gap from below it is important:

blinds to the window sill - the line along the marks should be strictly parallel to the window sill;
canvas to the floor - the line along the marks is strictly parallel to the floor.

Attach the cornice to the line, mark the installation locations of the brackets. Measure the distance to the center of the window; the holders should be located at the same distance from the central axis.

Drill holes with a drill, remove dust, insert the plastic part of the dowel, it should be flush with the surface. Attach the bracket and screw it with self-tapping screws. Check the installation geometry with a level. If the brackets are secured straight, attach the slider guide.

Featured in the video detailed master class How to fix the brackets on the wall with your own hands, fix the guide correctly and hang the slats.

Assembly of the canvas:

install the ear holder in the upper pocket of the lamella;
hang the strip on the slider and measure the required length of the lamella +50-70 mm per hem, depending on the size of the weights;
remove the placket, cut to size, hem;
do an intermediate fitting, if the result is satisfactory, then adjust the remaining lamellas using this template;
rotate the runners perpendicular to the glazing plane, hang the strips;
insert weights;
thread the connecting chain.

Installation on non-standard openings

Vertical blinds can be installed on sloping and non-standard openings; they are also actively used in zoning space.

To create a curved opening, bendable guides are used to hang the slats; to fix them to the surface, it is necessary to install holders every 200-600 mm, depending on the shape of the bends and the weight of the blinds.

When installing vertical blinds with your own hands on a sloping opening, it is important that the slats move when the canvas is opened from the high side to the low. Installation is carried out as follows:

we assemble blinds and hang slats;
apply it in place, outline which line to cut the strips along;
remove the slats from the runners and adjust them to size;
return the stripes to the runners;
we place the assembled blinds over the opening;
mark the space for the bottom bracket;
make a hole, insert a plastic dowel element, attach the bottom bracket;
We hook the guide to the canvas and, moving it up/down, adjust the position of the upper bracket so that the lower edge of the curtain is strictly parallel to the window sill or floor.

And be sure to watch the video review of vertical blinds in the interior.

After purchasing blinds, the question arises of how to install them. In principle, you can turn to professionals, they will do everything quickly and efficiently, but of course not for free. If you don’t want to spend money and you think that you can handle it yourself similar work, then this article is for you.

I draw your attention, try to evaluate your strengths and capabilities without emotion, pragmatically and calmly, otherwise you may ruin the purchased blinds and damage the window.

Preparation

We decide what type of blinds we purchased: horizontal, vertical or roller blinds.

Horizontal blinds are called blinds with slats (slats) parallel to the floor and ceiling, vertical blinds are called blinds with slats perpendicular to them. Roller blinds are sun protection products that consist of a canvas (in most cases fabric) wound on a shaft.

It is necessary to take the measurements correctly, otherwise all the work will go down the drain. If you make a mistake and the lamellas turn out to be too long, then removing the extra lamellas will not be difficult, but on the contrary, you will hardly be able to add them if you have shortened more than necessary.

Installation of horizontal blinds in the overlay

We measure the width and height of the window opening; the blinds should exceed it in these indicators by at least 3 cm or more.

If the blinds are mounted on the ceiling, measure the distance from the ceiling to the window sill.

If the window is flush with the wall, the handle may get in the way when opening, so you will have to use brackets. Make sure that they do not touch the mechanisms inside the cornice.

The tools you will need are a hammer drill or a drill and a screwdriver.

We fix the brackets at the required height.
Installing the cornice
We mount the control handle.
Checking the result

Installation of horizontal blinds on PVC brackets

You will need a screwdriver and wire cutters

Using a special screw, we connect the PVC bracket to the universal bracket.
Take a piece of cable of the required length and secure it with a screwdriver top clamp cable
We pass the cable through the cornice and slats
We install PVC brackets on the cornice and attach it to the sash of the plastic window. We tighten the cornice with a special wrench from the fastening kit.
Installing PVC brackets for the bottom of the window
Pass the cable through the clamp in the bottom bracket and tighten it
Now all that remains is to install the control knob and check how successful the installation is.

Installation of vertical blinds. Instructions

Mark the wall brackets to a height of plus 2 cm. The extreme fasteners should be removed 10-20 cm from the cornice.
Assemble the bracket with the spring
Drill a hole 6 mm in diameter with a hammer drill in the wall
After inserting the dowel and plugs, use self-tapping screws to secure the brackets.
Install brackets on the cornice to attach the decorative panel
Next you need to install the cornice. Remember, its front part must be inserted into engagement with the short edge of the fastening spring. Gently press the tail of the spring until you hear a characteristic click.
Using a rope, move the runners to one side, using a chain, turn them 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the cornice
Attach the slats to the assembled runners
To prevent the slats from dangling in the wind like strips of fabric, we insert weights into special pockets on them
Install decorative panel and the bottom chain.
We check the assembled structure.

Installing roller blinds on a window

Tools: drill or hammer drill, drill bits, level, double sided tape, anchor screws, screwdrivers.

Roller blinds can be mounted on the wall, in window opening or install without drilling.

We make sure that nothing will interfere with the opening/closing of the roller blind. If, for example, a window handle interferes with the opening of the structure, then you can turn the curtains over so that they unfold counterclockwise rather than clockwise.

We collect roller blind. We insert a plug into one end of the pipe, and install a mechanism with a control circuit into the opposite end;
To mark and drill holes for self-tapping screws, we apply the curtains to the window. We align the shaft horizontally, to do this you need to use a level.
After this, install the clamp into the bracket and fasten it to the bracket.
Pass the fishing line into the special lower hole in the bracket so that it does not fall out, make a knot. The fishing line from the other end must be threaded into the guide and pulled into the lower clamp.
Place double-sided tape on the bracket. Don't forget to degrease the surface before doing this.
By removing upper layer on tape, we mount the curtain on the window.
We snap the hooks on the brackets until they stop.
Next, we secure the bracket with self-tapping screws and secure the bracket on the other side.
We check the quality of the installation.

Installing mini roller blinds with fishing line

Usually they are installed separately on each of the window sashes

Make sure you have all the necessary components.
If necessary, shorten the curtain fabric, then secure it to the shaft
Thread a fishing line into the holes on the fastening corners and tie knots at its edges.
Cut off the rest of the line
Carefully, using extreme accuracy, insert the capsules into the edges of the shaft with the wound curtain.
Snap the edges of the capsules of the fastening angles.
Make sure the installed curtain is working properly.

You can install vertical blinds yourself if you follow step by step instructions installations. It is also important to know how to care for blinds and what types are intended for which windows.

Kinds

Vertical blinds are divided into the following types: classic, inclined, corrugated, arched, day-night and accordion. When installing vertical curtains, it is important to know which type is suitable for which window and interior:

Classic. Made from fabric, paper or plastic. Designed to darken the room, protect against heating sun rays, zoning the interior space of the room.

Oblique. A type of pleated specifically for windows that are located at an angle in the attic or ceiling. Their feature is a specific assembly system, which does not allow the canvas made of any material to sag when at an angle. Mostly inclined models are produced with electronic control.

Corrugated. This type is a vertical and horizontal double pleat. As a result, the folds look smoother, neater and denser. A corrugated model made of plastic and paper in this design absorbs significant part heat and protects the room from bright light.

Arched. Maximum flexibility fabric sheets, which take any shape, like a paper fan. Good decision for rooms with non-standard form windows (arches, trapezoids, triangles, beveled windows).

"Day Night". The canvas of such blinds consists of two layers of fabric: light, permeable a large number of light fabric for daytime use and dense, dark fabric for protection from the bright sun during the day and prying eyes in the evening.

Harmonic. The design consists of a control mechanism (chain or electric drive), weights, and pleated fabric that resembles accordion bellows. The range of materials, colors and textures is very diverse.

Peculiarities

This product has a number of distinctive features:

They can be closed from top to bottom (classic canvases), from bottom to top, or from both sides at the same time. At the same time, the degree of density of the “accordion” can be adjusted: by closing either the top, or the bottom, or central part window.
Suitable for covering irregularly shaped windows.
Optimal solution for attic, attic, ceiling and inclined windows.
When opened, the canvas is compactly folded and hidden inside the cornice.
Convenient for installation on all types of windows.
Various ways fastenings and control mechanisms (manual and electric).
The woven fabric is washable.
The curtain fabric can be made of two types of fabric at the same time, which makes it possible to regulate the degree of transparency, darkness, and sun protection.
Easy installation can be done by yourself.

Advantages

The following are distinguished:

Compactness. Blinds occupy a minimum of space, allowing owners to show their imagination and organize additional window decoration or leave the window sill as a functional surface.
Simple and clear type of control.
Long term services. Special impregnation protects the canvas from dust, grease, dirt, moisture, and abrasion.
Ease of hygiene procedures. Not required special care. Their small surface area can be simply wiped with a damp sponge. soap solution once every few months.
A variety of designs for interiors in any style.
The tight fit of the canvas to the surface of the glass protects equally well from heat and cold.
Possibility to install the system yourself.
A variety of materials: from light window decoration to total blackout protection.
Possibility to combine blinds with curtains, tulle, lambrequin.

Required Tools

To install vertical curtains, you don't need many tools. You will need: a stepladder, a set of screws from the kit, building level and drawing supplies, drill, screwdriver.

The following will definitely come in handy: a bracket for the ceiling and for the groover, fasteners, corners, clamps, monofilament, stoppers and c-clips, rings for the rod, chain locks, replacement parts. Each instruction contains a detailed list of necessary components.

How to take a measurement

The final result depends on how correctly the measurements are taken. Even expensive ones beautiful models will not look good on the window if there are gaps in the opening or the edges of the slats are constantly rubbing against the wall.

It is important to pay attention to the following points:

For the most accurate indicators, a steel tape measure is used.
The obtained figures cannot be rounded; accuracy must be maintained to the nearest millimeter.
When ordering blinds, the width parameter is indicated first, length – second.
Not a single window opening is absolutely perfect. geometric shapes, therefore measurements in height and width must be made at least at two points.

When installing in a window opening, you need to determine the width at the top of the arch and subtract 20 mm. To determine the height, compare the height of the left and right side arches, subtract 1 cm from the smaller value. For wall mounting, you need to add at least 10 cm to the wide side of the slope. The length of the slats can be any, but it is recommended to retreat 2 cm from the edge of the blinds to the floor. Ceiling installation implies determining the height (to the floor or window sill) minus 2 cm, it is recommended to increase the width of the arch by 100+ mm.

Mounting options for plastic windows

There are several mounting options: with and without screws.

With self-tapping screws:

It is necessary to mark the places where they will be located.
Then make holes and attach the brackets.
Secure the blinds.
Also make two holes on the bottom.
Secure the ends of the blinds with plugs.

Without self-tapping screws. First of all, you need to mount the curtain, assemble the brackets and install them on the reel. Then this structure must be fixed on the window in order to mark for fastening. The second step is to attach the brackets with adhesive tape at the top of the frame and the string tensioner at the bottom. It is not necessary to pre-attach them with tape, but it is advisable to eliminate problems with subsequent drilling of holes for screws. After installing the guide string, the curtain itself is mounted into the mechanisms.

How to care

Due to the peculiarities of their composition, the materials from which blinds are made do not require special care. Once a month, such curtains can be dry cleaned, and once every few months - wet cleaned. A good addition will be treated with sprays against burnout, exposure to moisture and dust.

If necessary, you can wash such blinds using a gentle wash cycle or by hand.

How to properly attach to the ceiling

Vertical curtains are attached in three ways: to the ceiling, to the frame with drilling, to the frame without drilling.

In all cases, the fastener is a cornice with decorative facade or without it. The brackets on which the structure is supported are fastened with self-tapping screws, hung or glued with double-sided tape. Special tape seems rather impractical, however, it is fixed very firmly, so it is important to correctly mark for installing the brackets. Once they are glued, moving them will be quite difficult.

The procedure for installing vertical blinds:

Preparing tools.
Applying pencil markings for installing brackets. To securely fix the fasteners, it is recommended to drill holes for self-tapping screws at the same stage.
Attaching the brackets in a suitable way(with or without drilling).
Installation of cornice.
Installation of slats. To do this, you need to pull the control cord, with the fastenings for the slats located on it, so that they are in the desired position.
Then fix all the slats on the hooks of the fasteners.

Wall mounting

Installation work Wall decoration requires certain skills and experience; it is necessary to take into account some nuances and features. Installation of blinds begins long before preparation work surface and a set of tools:

The first step of this process is an informed decision regarding the type and variety of blinds, material, color and texture, depending on the functionality of the room.
Second important point- this is the correct marking. Much, if not everything, depends on it, including how easy the installation process will be. If all the architectural features of window openings are taken into account by specialists when ordering blinds from them, everything will go easily and smoothly without the help of professional installers.
It is also important to consider whether it will be possible to open the window after installation, how the light protection devices will work, and whether there is a risk of deformation for them.
Installation of blinds. Must be carried out exactly with markings and subsequent verification of the functionality of the structure. The most important point here is the choice between fastening with drilling and fastening without it.

How to hang on the balcony

To install, you must follow these steps:

Degrease the areas of the balcony and fasteners that will be connected with adhesive tape.
Install blinds.
Assemble the brackets.
Mark the mounting brackets. To do this, you need to attach the brackets to the assembled blinds, install them on the window without fastening, mark with a pencil the places for the adhesive tape, and remove the curtains.
Install the string guide against sagging. Attach to the “ear” of the top bracket and weighting of the curtain, and fix at the bottom in the tensioner, which is installed on the frame.
