How to determine the size of the blinds for your window? Instructions for measuring blinds and roller blinds How to measure blinds correctly.

Blinds on windows are an excellent option for arranging the interior of a house, especially in “technical” premises: kitchens, bathrooms, on verandas, balconies. The choice of texture, width, color and control method allows achieving not only purely utilitarian goals - changing the flow of light penetrating the room from the street, but also achieving a certain decorative effect that meets the design concept.

How to measure blinds plastic windows- the topic of the article brought to your attention.

Types of blinds

The installation and, accordingly, the dimensions of the blinds depend on the direction in which the slats are oriented - strips of fabric or strips of metal or plastic.

There are few options: horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal blinds are the most popular in residential areas, as they have a number of advantages, the main of which is their compactness.

Due to the small width of the slats - 5-15 mm, they can be installed in the following positions:

close to the window glass - flush with the window plastic profile (isolight);
over the window plastic profile - separately for each of the window sashes;
in the window opening flush with the plane of the wall;
in the form of curtains covering the window opening from the ceiling to the windowsill.

Depending on this, the dimensions of the blinds can be measured in different ways.

The only tool needed for taking measurements is a construction tape measure.

Measurements for horizontal blinds

For blinds that completely cover the window opening, you should measure the height of the window opening from the window sill to the ceiling. The thickness of the window sill + 20-40 mm is added to the obtained value.

For blinds located in the window opening flush with the wall - measure the opening height minus 10 mm. The width of the opening is minus 20 mm.

For those located on plastic windows - the height of the window profile - minus 20 mm, the width of the window profile - minus 20 mm.

For the installation of "isolight" blinds - only plastic windows with a glazing bead design are suitable, which fastens the double-glazed window in the PVC profile, which has rectangular shape. Plastic windows with bevelled glazing bead are not suitable for their installation.

Measure the height of the window glass - from the upper inner edge of the glazing bead to the lower inner +50 mm. is the length of the web The width of the web is determined by the distance from inner sides glazing bead minus 10 mm.

Blinds "isolight" are equipped with side "U"-shaped guides, in which the edges of the slats slide. The guides prevent the canvas from sagging when the plastic window sash is tilted to the “micro-ventilation” position. Therefore, the width of the lamellas is determined by the height of the profile, multiplied by x2 minus 10 mm - 5 mm on each side for free movement along the guides.

Before deciding on the width of the blinds, it is necessary to measure the height of the "U"-shaped profile for a particular model of the blinds you have chosen.

Vertical blinds dimensions

Vertical blinds- less common option in residential premises. It is more commonly used in offices or public buildings.

But with a successful selection of fabric colors and textures, vertical blinds can successfully replace curtains.

There are several options for their location:

in the window opening;
over the window opening to the window sill;
over the window opening to the floor.

In the first case, you should measure the height of the window opening from the window sill to the upper window slope. Subtract 20-30 mm from the obtained value. - for sagging chains connecting the lower edges of the vertical slats.

The width should be measured along the inner edges of the slopes. Two features of vertical blinds should be taken into account - the width of the slats - their number should completely cover the window opening and be located freely in it so as not to overlap each other and not interfere with the rotation of the slats around the axis. The second feature is the way the lamellas are moved: in one direction, or from the center to the edges of the window opening.

By selecting the dimensions of the lamellas, the total width of the web in full closed should be 20 mm narrower than the width of the window opening.

When installing blinds on the cornice as curtains, the main dimension is the distance of the cornice from the wall. This distance should be equal to half the width of the lamellas + 20 mm. If the blinds are arranged up to the window sill, their length should be 20-30 mm. shorter than the distance from the lower edge of the cornice + suspension + fastening chains at the bottom.

If the blinds are arranged below the edge of the window sill, you should measure the distance between the cornice and the most protruding point - the edge of the window sill or heating radiators (grilles) + half the width of the slats + 20 mm for free rotation around the axis.

The length of the slats "on the floor" is the distance from the floor to the ceiling - minus the thickness of the cornice, minus the height of the suspension, minus 20-30 mm - the sagging of the chains that fasten the slats.

Instead of a conclusion

The vast majority of manufacturers of blinds offer, as a free option, departure and measurement of dimensions by a professionally trained employee. In no case should you refuse this service if it is included in the cost of blinds and their installation.

It is advisable to independently measure the window opening and mount the products only if you purchase ready-made blinds of a standard size in the store. This allows you to somewhat reduce the cost of their purchase, but does not guarantee the exact match of the dimensions purchased by the blinds with the dimensions of your plastic window.

The gaps between the canvases can spoil the whole picture of the interior of the window. If possible, after taking measurements, order an individual production of blinds in strict accordance with the measurements.

Roller blinds are a type of fabric window shading that replaces conventional curtains or blinds. They are chosen by adherents of minimalism in the interior, they complement the most different types curtains, knowing how to measure roller blinds correctly for the desired effect. Roller blinds require a minimum amount of fabric and take up little space, in addition, they require a minimum of care.

From right choice curtains depends on the overall look of the window. How to choose the right right size this type of curtain? What should be considered for the right choice? It would seem that these are small nuances, but they affect the appearance of the window as a whole, the functionality of all devices.

To select the correct size roller blinds you will need to measure the dimensions of the window. When measuring, the width of the roller blind is necessarily calculated. The length, in most cases, is made standard - about 2 meters. This size should be enough for most standard modern designs.

For accurate measurements, the following recommendations should be considered:

Using a tape measure, we measure the glass in width and length (along the sash). The data obtained will help determine the design that is suitable for the window. It is also necessary to measure the depth of the bead. With a depth of 1.5 centimeters suitable curtain Uni. With a size of less than 1.5 centimeters (and inclusive), you should opt for the designs of the "Profil" or "Mini" system.

The overall width is the width of the curtain. Therefore, the size of the tube on which the rolled fabric is attached will be the necessary parameter in measuring the width of the curtains.

Measurements of various types of curtains

In order to correctly measure roller blinds for plastic windows, it is necessary to study the features of each type of design.

Classic

The first step is to determine the type installation work, or rather, where the classic roller blinds will be located: on the outside of the opening or inside the opening. You should get the following values for the measurement:

Width (hereinafter - "b") from 0.5 to 3 m;
Height (hereinafter - "h") from 0.5 to 3 m;
The length (hereinafter "l") of the control is from 0.27 m and above (the maximum value is not set). The size of the control length should not exceed 2/3 overall length assembled curtains.

outdoor installation

For outdoor installation, the following steps will be required:

Measurement b.
Depending on the edge of the window sill, h changes. For the internal location of the window sill, the numbers may be at the discretion.
b curtains minus 4 centimeters = b linens.
If the installation takes place directly to the wall, then the border from the ceiling to the mount should be from 7 centimeters.

Indoor installation

For the internal type of fastening (in the opening), the following measurements are taken into account:

To calculate b of the web, it is necessary to calculate the difference between twice the distance from the bracket and the bevel on the side to b of the opening. The value should not exceed 5 centimeters.

Cassette blind

Among the cassette types of roller blinds, Uni-1, Uni-2, Mini are distinguished.

Uni-1

To calculate b, measure the vertical distance between the ribs of the glazing beads. The measurement accuracy is up to hundredths of a centimeter.
H is the distance between the ribs in a horizontal position. The side for regulating the degree of opening of the product is chosen arbitrarily. The level h is an individual value, which is 2/3 of the total length of the curtain.
Uni-1 after installation should be installed between the edges of the glazing beads.

Uni-2

When making overall measurements, the wishes of the customer and the features of the window frame are taken into account. The location of the fittings (handles or hinges) is also of no small importance.

For the value of b, the distance between the ribs of the cap is taken into account. 6.8 centimeters are added to it.
The distance between the outer parts of the structure should be less than a couple of centimeters (from 0.25 to 1.2 m).
H for this design is the distance between the lower and upper points of the system plug (from 0.2 m to 1.5 m).

Mini

In the Mini design, mini curtains are installed on each window sash separately. To do this, you need to know the value b of the light opening. It increases by 0.4 centimeters to account for the glazing bead and fasteners. All other calculations are similar. The side for the location of the control device is chosen arbitrarily. The chain for winding the fabric on the pipe is considered as 2/3 of h.

The latch for the lower eaves is placed when the window sash has a tilt-and-turn mechanism. Thanks to this, when airing, the flaps will not hang over the window sill.

The retainer for the lower eaves has two types of fastening:

magnetic, in which magnets are mounted on screws;
brackets on the line.

Methods for attaching the upper eaves:

screws;
on double-sided tape;
on hanging brackets - for the sash.

Measurements for roller blinds Mini. The first step is to measure the width and height of the glass (to the sash). 3 centimeters are added to the numbers for the width and 12 for the height. Next, the location of the control mechanism is determined. It is better if it is near the loop. Next, the method of fastening is selected (screws or double-sided tape).

Mini curtains are installed only on the sashes.

UNI

There are two types of curtains of this type - UNI-1 and UNI-2.

UNI-1

The type is suitable for different windows, with different design features. Very popular in modern design. The color scheme of the box is easily matched to the color of the frame, creating visual integrity. Standard size- 200×175.

To select this type, the following measurements are required:

To the height between the ribs of the glazing bead, 2 centimeters are added for a margin.
Width is measured in the same way without any additions.

Curtains of this type have one drawback - the lower bar rubs against the glass, which leads to the appearance of bevels and even cracks. This minus is especially manifested with a glazing bead depth of 2 cm.

UNI-2

This type is the most acceptable and versatile. Mounted on almost any surface with different relief. If the depth of the bead is more than 2 cm, then this option will be the most acceptable. Uni-2 curtains have guides in the form of the letter "P", which ensures a clear fixation and no friction. The likelihood of cracks and bevels is extremely small.

Measuring the roller blind for size selection:

The width must be measured by the outer dimensions of the curtain rails. To calculate the desired height, the value of the external dimensions is added to the height of the box (about 7 cm). The most recommended value by experts is from 1 to 2 centimeters, since if an error is made, the excess can be cut off by removing the plugs from the pipe.

Profile

Before purchasing the system, the profile should be measured:

b between the corners of the sash.
h, taking into account the size of the glass, the sash to be opened.

In addition to plastic windows, the "Profil" system is installed on the door.

Day Night

Roller blinds can be installed different ways. Distinguish external and internal fastening, fastening on a frame.

Required measurements for each method:

For outdoor installation, b is measured and 15 centimeters are added to it. In the h dimension, plus 15 centimeters is added to the size of the opening.
For internal fastening, it is necessary to measure at three points h and b. Suitable for height smallest values. If the slopes are angular, then the mark is the place where the canvas is attached. For b, 5 millimeters are subtracted from the measured value, and h remains unchanged.
Mounting on the frame is carried out by measuring b on the bead and h of the frame. The minimum distance from the fabric and the handle should not exceed a centimeter. Marks are made directly on the product.

Summing up

Every missing or extra centimeter can spoil appearance products and rooms in general. Therefore, before measuring roller blinds for plastic windows, do not rush into your actions.

Roller blinds - the most compact of the existing ones. They allow you to design a window opening with a minimum of funds, while reliably closing the room from prying eyes, sunlight. Some blinds companies offer customers a discount if they measure the size of the window themselves.

Before buying roller blinds, you need to measure the dimensions of the windows

The window is measured in a closed form with an ordinary tape measure to the nearest millimeter. The height of the curtain for the blind sash must be correlated with the height of the opening transom. The bottom edges of the fabric guides should be at the same level.

For the manufacture of blinds, it is preliminarily determined where to install the mount:

on the opening outside;
Measurement of roller blinds for installation on the opening
inside the opening;
When measuring, the irregularities of the window opening are taken into account
for each frame separately.
It is necessary to compare the height of the curtains on the deaf and opening doors

The measurement is carried out in two parameters: width, height. Thinking about how to measure roller blinds on plastic windows, set aside half an hour or an hour of time, prepare a tape measure, a notebook and a pen to write down the results. Consider what design you want to install.

Important! Zebra blinds (also called day-night) require more space in depth (0.3-0.5 cm).

Blinds "day-night" consist of two strips of fabric, when closed, they look like a continuous canvas

The width of the roller blind corresponds to the width of the glass, taking into account the side bead (this is an element that securely fixes the glass in the frame, it can be ironed or rectangular), plus 0.1 cm on each side.

For open type roller blinds, the width is measured between the outer edges of the glazing beads

When determining the size, it is necessary to take into account whether the fastening of the roller shutter (rod, rotation mechanism, end caps and fasteners) will not rest against hinges or slopes.

Cassette blinds come in two standard sizes UNI1 and UNI2, the first of which has smaller dimensions and is intended for installation on an opening window sash

The height is measured from the top edge of the sash to the bottom of the sash, and if the glazing bead has a rounded shape, then it should overlap the frame border from the glass side by 2-5 mm.

Types of glazing beads used on plastic windows

If the frame opens, then the bottom length must be reduced by 5-7 mm. For a blind transom, the height is measured from the top to the bottom bead plus 0.5 cm.

The height is measured between the top edge of the top bead and the bottom edge of the bottom.

What errors occur when measuring

Instructions on how to measure curtains are needed in order to avoid common mistakes. Many people think that it is enough to measure the frame across and along, but windows are not the same over their entire area, so three measurements must be taken at different distances. Indicate in the order the smallest resulting value. With an excess of width / length, the curtain may not fit in the opening.

Important! It is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the roller blind itself, which holds the curtain.

Roleta happens open and closed type. Open-type designs are cheaper, but they quickly get dirty. Closed-type mechanisms are more expensive, but much more convenient.

Roller blinds come in two types - open (pictured left) and closed (right)

There is a mechanical or automatic control. The overall width of the roller blind is 0.3-0.5 cm larger than the size of the curtain itself due to mounting fasteners / plugs at the edges. If you do not take into account the difference, the canvas may extend beyond the frame - it will have to be cut during installation.

When choosing curtains with an electric drive, it is better to give preference to compact models, the dimensions of which are slightly larger than manual counterparts.

The depth of the mechanism is 3.5-4 cm (the design and its dimensions must be clarified with the manufacturer). Due to the difference in mounting methods, preliminary measurements are recommended to be entrusted to professionals who know the intricacies various devices to mount and control such curtains.

It depends on the depth of the mechanism whether the window sash can open normally

Sometimes roller blinds set so that they cover only the glass itself inside the frame. In this case, the structure is attached exclusively to frames with a rectangular glazing bead.

Curtains with guides are good because they completely block sunlight.

When this element has a rounded shape, the curtains are made a little larger, placed higher in the window opening. Blinds big size placed outside, the roller shutter is attached to the wall or ceiling.

Pay attention to the location of the handles for opening the frame! Roll in open form should not block access to them.

It is more practical to position the control system so that the cord does not collide with the handle

If the curtain touches something during use, then there is a high probability of tearing the structure from its place. The lower edge of the guides, touching the window sill, gets dirty, crumpled.

Features of curtains with guides

In order for the blinds to lie evenly, and there are no gaps left at the edges, they use guides - roller blinds look neat, last longer, and do not warp. When figuring out how to measure a window for roller blinds with guides, you need to consider the following features:

Important! When deciding how to position the curtain with guides, keep in mind that the height of the roller shutter box cannot be less than 7 cm with a depth of 36 mm.

The guides securely fix the curtain fabric, preventing it from bending and sticking to the window

With closed-type blinds, the width of the fabric is measured from the junction of the glazing bead to the frame, and not to the glass. The width of the mechanism of the roller blind itself is 20 mm larger than this value. The measured dimension includes the width of the U-shaped rails. Closed mechanisms use just such designs, which adds 3-5 mm on each side.

Important! The edge of the control mechanism must be at some distance from the slope so that it can be slightly opened.

If the window slope runs very close to the transom, the curtain mechanism may interfere with the full opening of the sash

The height of the curtain with guides is determined by the joints of the frame and the glazing bead from top to bottom. For windows that do not open, the distance from the slope to the junction of the frame with glass must be at least 45 mm - this provides space for mounting the roller shutter.

Help from a professional

Practice shows that standard windows when measured, they are not rectangular, their size varies slightly at different points of fixation. For large sizes, roller blinds are needed specifically for panoramic glazing, the measurement of which is best entrusted to a specialist. For large-scale structures, it is required to take into account several attachment points, take measurements several times.

Unfortunately, window openings are often uneven, however, like the windows themselves, even plastic ones.

For window openings of non-standard shape, only a specialist can determine the size measurement algorithm. For options with a rounded top, it will be difficult to make blinds due to the peculiarities of fastening the roller shutter. Measurements include determining the parameters of the circumference, choosing the method of fastening - this cannot be done without knowing exactly what tools and technologies the company has.

Making an arched window with roller blinds is quite difficult.

Important! Such designs are created only on an individual basis, it is impossible to find them in the catalog.

maybe best solution there will be a rejection of roller blinds in favor of other models that allow you to design non-standard window openings, for example, pleated curtains look good in an arch

It is difficult to figure out how to install blinds in a bay window - it is better to invite a specialist to measure. He will offer several options for placing roller blinds so that there are no gaps at the edges, and all windows look like a single composition.

It is important to choose the option that is best suited for each window in the bay window.

Depending on the availability of free space for the fastening mechanism, the following structures are used:

open or closed type;
mechanical or automatic;
a professional selects the shape of the guides.

Conclusion

Measuring the frame for blinds is not a difficult process, but it must be approached very carefully. An error will result in the work having to be redone, which will incur additional costs. When the position of the handle on the frame is not taken into account or the canvas is slightly longer than necessary, the owner, feeling inconvenient from the mistakes made, will want to get rid of them: he will have to spend money again.

The main thing is maximum attentiveness, then the result will not disappoint you.

If there are difficulties, the window has a complex shape - it is better to immediately invite a specialist. This will save time, money and nerves.

To correctly and accurately measure the size of blinds on plastic windows, you need to know a few important points. If they are met, then a positive outcome is guaranteed.

Steel tape measure is a necessary and even indispensable tool. Without this element, there is even nothing to undertake the work. Measurements must be accurate to the millimeter. Rounding off is unacceptable, as are errors.
It is not enough to measure windows for blinds. You also need to write down the results correctly. The first value in the entry must indicate the width and only after that the length is written. Writing values incorrectly is a mistake many people make.
Even plastic windows do not have the dimensions of an ideal rectangle. Measurements of one parameter must be carried out in various places. This is especially true for slopes, which, due to their uneven lines, can become an obstacle to the movement of blinds.
There are several types of blinds. The rules for performing measurements differ from the selected type of blinds. Also, the differences are determined by the method of installation, of which there are also several.

For each case, we will tell you how to measure a window for blinds. So be patient, we have a lot of work to do.

Choose an installation option

In order to learn how to measure blinds on plastic windows, we will still have time. First you need to decide on the installation option. There are three ways that are selected with approximately the same frequency: on the opening, on the sash, on top of the opening. It is necessary not only to know how to measure a window for installing blinds, but also by what rules to choose an installation option. What we will talk about next.

For fastening vertical systems, a wall is more often chosen, i.e. over the opening. Inside the opening, such structures are rarely installed.
For roller blinds or Roman blinds, any options are selected. There are no restrictions here, so you can give free rein to your imagination. But you need to clearly know how to measure the blinds on the windows so that the end result does not become a disappointment.
Windows with multiple sashes, which are usually installed in the homes of Russian citizens, are often decorated with several blinds, one for each sash. This method makes the operation of the window convenient, because the shutters can be opened without using the blinds.
On European wide windows with overhead rails in each sash, blinds installed in the opening or on top of it look beautiful.

We have given you general points that will help you make the right choice. To follow them or not, to rely on your own taste is everyone's business. And we finally got to the main question - how to measure the blinds for plastic windows.

Such designs were the pioneers and progenitors of all modern blinds. But even such a long history did not become an obstacle to their popularity, which even now rests on high level. Users love them for their ease of use.

Measure horizontal blinds on plastic windows different ways It all depends on how they are installed. We have reviewed each of the existing ones.

This installation method visually expands the window space, which is successfully used by many designers. Moreover, the dimensions of the blinds are not affected by the dimensions of the window, which is very convenient and unties the hands. To calculate the size of the blinds for the window in this case, you will need to do the following:

We determine the dimensions of the opening (width, height), again, we measure each indicator in different places.
From the results obtained, we select the largest and take them as real.
We subtract about 1.5 cm from the width, and 1 cm from the height.

Installation "on the sash": how to measure

Such installation allows you to leave the window sill free and does not create difficulties when opening / closing the window further. To remove the size of windows for blinds in this case, you will have to act according to a different scheme:

along the borders of the glazing bead in several places we measure the width of the sash;
choose the highest result;
for height measurements, we perform similar actions;
add 1 cm to the width, and 3 cm to the length.

That's the whole process that needs to be done to measure the blinds on plastic windows. Attention should be paid to the blinds control mechanism. The structure must be positioned so that it is on the opposite side of the handle from the window. You know how to measure the size of a window for horizontal blinds, but you still have to deal with vertical and roll structures.

Such designs give the interior sophistication, indicate a delicate taste and are able to transform the room. When choosing such a design, you need to clearly know how to measure vertical blinds on plastic windows. The width of such blinds should be divided by 8 when turning in one direction, otherwise a multiplicity of 16 is needed. Subject to this condition, you can achieve an impeccable look and even closing of the window. Vertical blinds can also be installed in a variety of ways. Below, all available options will be considered, which will help to measure the window for blinds.

Installation "on the opening": how to measure

This method is acceptable if you need to hide pipes / batteries and want to make the blinds an interior element. Also, slopes and a window sill will be hidden behind the structure. By the way, if the window sill protrudes beyond the opening by 6 cm or more, then you will have to install a long bracket.

How to properly measure blinds on plastic windows of a vertical type with installation on an opening is described below:

You need to know the dimensions of the window (width / height).
We add 20 cm to the width, this distance will be needed for side allowances.
If the blinds will be mounted on the ceiling, then the distance from the window to the ceiling will have to be added to the resulting height.
When mounting on the wall, you will have to add at least 10 cm to the height and even the length of the structure.

This option is acceptable for small rooms in which free space is worth its weight in gold, as they say. Often in such rooms, furniture is placed under the window, which further reduces the space for the blinds. This method is applicable only to a flat window, in the dimensions of which there are no significant differences.

How to measure a window for installing blinds is presented in the following practical guide:

To get the width, subtract 1 cm from the width of the opening.
You need to subtract about 2 cm from the height, no less.

That's all, there are no special tricks here, so everyone can correctly measure a window for blinds.

Such blinds are called Roman blinds. They are very popular, although they are more expensive than their previous counterparts. When folded, they take up very little space, and when unfolded, they perfectly protect the room from the sun and create an amazing atmosphere. In addition, care for roller blinds is extremely simple. How to measure roller blinds on a window with various installation options, we described in detail below.

Overlap installation: how to take measurements

This work is carried out according to the following scheme:

Determine the width and height of the window.
To the results obtained at the previous stage, we add 10 cm (to the width) and 20 cm (to the height).

We have already described how to determine the size of blinds for plastic windows during overlap installation, as you can see, there is nothing complicated in this process.

Installation "in the opening": how to measure

This process is no more difficult than the previous one. The following describes how to measure a window for roller blinds, so you can see for yourself the simplicity of this work:

The width of the opening will determine the width of the cornice.
It is the same with the height of the cornice - it is equal to the height of the opening.

On an uneven window, such installation is not applicable. You will have to choose another method, for example, overlapping or day-night.

Installation "day-night": how to take measurements

This option is loved by many, appreciated for its convenience in further operation, in particular, in regulating lighting. Interested? Then it's time to learn how to measure roller blinds on plastic windows during day-night installation:

The width of the blinds is determined by the glazing bead, its outer side.
Height is measured over the frame.
Based on these indicators, you can order / buy blinds.

For each of these options, half a centimeter can be added to the resulting height. This distance will take over the eaves.

You learned how to find out the size of the blinds for plastic windows, now it only remains to put all the knowledge into practice.

How to measure blinds on plastic windows with your own hands: video

Today, many owners of apartments and country cottages use blinds to decorate window openings in residential premises, which have a number of undeniable advantages over traditional curtains:

reliably protect the living space and furniture from ultraviolet radiation;
do not take up much space;
fit perfectly into modern interiors;
do not require complex care;
differ in construction and design variety.

In most cases, blinds are installed on plastic windows. When installing such light-shielding structures, high measurement accuracy should be observed.

How to measure the blinds correctly when installing on a plastic window?

The main rules for measuring blinds

If the owners of apartments and country cottages decide to do the installation themselves, then you should adhere to the following rules when making measurements:

record all measurements high precision up to a millimeter;
specify when ordering a light-shielding structure, first the width, and then the length;
to take precise measurements, take measurements in several places, since in most cases window frame not perfect in shape.

When taking measurements on your own, it should be borne in mind that for each type of blinds, their own technologies for taking accurate measurements should be used.

What types of blinds can be installed on plastic windows?

Types of blinds by type of construction

Such light-shielding structures are distinguished by structural and design diversity. They can be assembled from different materials:

aluminum;
fabrics;
tree.

According to the shape and type of location of the lamellae, they are divided into:

horizontal;
vertical;
rolled.

Due to the fact that measurements for each type of such a light-protective structure are carried out according to a special scheme, installation of blinds of different types is usually carried out by specialists. Spacey offers not only big choice blinds of various types and the manufacture of a specific model for windows of a certain shape, but also high-quality installation.

Measurements of horizontal blinds

Designs with horizontally arranged lamellas are considered universal due to the convenience and ease of use. How to take measurements correctly?

First of all, you should determine the installation method: in the opening or on the frame. In the first case, the structure can be attached to the ceiling or to the wall. In the second directly on the sash.

When installing "in the opening" you can use blinds of different sizes. In this case, you need to measure the width and height of the window opening. When ordering, you must specify the width parameters, which must be equal to the width of the window opening + 1 cm minimum. When fixing the length, the height distance is indicated to which at least 5 cm is added.
