Preparation for installation

Before installing roller blinds on a plastic window, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the product for each double-glazed window. The fabric should cover the glass well, but not extend beyond the frame.

The mini-rollo canvas should be 3 cm wider than the glass. On the sash, the overlap on the handle side is 1 cm, and on the hinge side - 2 cm.
The size of the blade in a system with U-guides mounted on a glazing bead exactly matches the size of the glass. If the glazing bead is oblique or rounded, the guides are glued to the frame. In this case, the size of the fabric is equal to the outer perimeter of the glazing beads.
The canvas mounted in the opening should be 4 cm narrower than it. Measurements are taken at the window frame.
The size of the curtain mounted on the wall or ceiling is determined depending on the design solution. It should be 10 or more centimeters wider than the opening, and its edge can go down to the window sill or to the floor.

All roller blinds are produced in the form of a designer kit with all the necessary components. There is no need to buy additional materials.

Care Tips

Caring for fabric roller blinds is quite simple, since most products are treated with a special solution that prevents the accumulation of dirt and dust. There are two methods for cleaning blinds: dry and wet.

For daily care, it is enough to use the dry method, which involves using a clean cloth or sponge. You can also clean the canvas with a vacuum cleaner using a special attachment.

Wet cleaning should be carried out periodically. To do this, you can use a mild detergent that does not contain chlorine. It is not always necessary to remove fabric roller shutters for cleaning, but after wet care, the curtains should be completely dry when unrolled.

For significant stains, you can use a stain remover based on natural ingredients. Under no circumstances should you rub, wrinkle or squeeze the fabric too hard, as such actions can lead to deformation of the product.

How to attach roller blinds with guides to plastic windows

Models with guides are products equipped with plastic or string structures that facilitate a tighter fit of the canvas to the surface of the window.

Then it is applied to the window sash. Use a pencil to mark the location of the right and left pads. The next step involves the final gluing of the platform to the sash.

Before carrying out this procedure, the surface is degreased. To do this, use alcohol or gasoline for lighters. Double-sided tape can only be applied once.

If the right bracket is fixed, put the shaft on it. The fabric is wound on the last unit. The left bracket is attached to the structure.

Make a mark of the location of the corresponding site. The left bracket is disconnected from the platform. The last element is glued to the window profile taking into account the marks made.

The shaft is inserted into the right bracket. The left analogue is fixed. The curtain comes down.

The location of the magnetic clamp will need to be marked with a pencil. The curtain is attached to the sash taking into account the width of the fabric. If necessary, a specialist can take measurements.

Roller blinds are laid out on a flat surface. The required width is measured on the product and a mark is made.

Curtains can be cut using scissors or a construction knife. The next step involves fixing them to the shaft. First you will need to remove the protective film from the surface of the last element.

The upper edge of the product is bent upward by 5 cm. The shaft is placed in a niche with the strip facing up. The 1st element is installed in a horizontal position.

The beveled version involves measuring a larger distance between the beads.
