Types blinds

Starting with slatted shutters and ending with today's all sorts of variations, or that the blinds are suitable for different styles of interior design and different configurations of the windows.Today

type-blinds release:

  • cassette;
  • pleats;
  • horizontal;
  • vertical;
  • roll.

Theoretically, each variation can be used for shading plastic double-glazed windows.However, not all of them will be completely comfortable opening sash or put them in the airing.To avoid discomfort, it is best used in tandem with modern windows models recommended and tested by designers.

models, most organically suitable for installation in modern windows - this tape and roller blinds with guides (they are called blinds).They differ from traditional, familiar to all models, but the basic functional load, namely the transmission of light and views of the barrier, they do.Plus, this type allows you to save a maximum of space on a windowsill, which is important for small spaces.

Blinds as a kind of blinds

This type equally often referred to as the curtains and blinds to.In fact, they represent a cross, which brought together the best of his two predecessors.

construction consists of a fabric with a dense perforation, which is wound on a horizontal roller.Fabric density may vary, and depends on how much light penetrates into the room during the day and out in the evening.The maximum density allows even arrange a full home theater system with a projector on a sunny day.A small density to avoid prying eyes, or the morning sun rays through the dispersion effect.

Blinds can be fixed at any desired height, similar to the traditional horizontal slats.

Depending on the configuration, the fabric can be mounted on the box or hang freely.If the edges are fixed on the edges of glass, blinds tightly to glass, providing comfort and insulation.If the fabric is hanging freely, when you open the flap on airing it will hang down vertically, so it is not recommended to use this type if, for example, on a windowsill there are flowers - curtain will stop.

Cassette Cassette blinds

option - it is almost the same as blinds, with the only difference that the base web is optionally made of tissue, and the edges are placed in a box with a special guide.The whole design is very tight to the glass, scattering or reducing the level of light, but it does not prevent opening the shutters in any position.

Cassette blinds are also fixed at any height.

Shutters on the plastic windows: how to choose?

choice between the two options described above depends mainly on the personal preferences of the owners and the style of the room, but there are additional factors of influence.In particular, it may be a distance from the neighboring houses, windows facing the street, number of floors, the level of air pollution, the final destination room.

So for the first three or four floors it is recommended to choose options with dense protected from dust cloth or plastic.Natural blinds in such a rapidly lose form due to frequent washings, it is better to choose hardy cassette.But for the double-glazed windows, which are at the height of the fifth floor and above, no such restrictions as exhaust and road dust to a height just do not climb.

cluster curtains should be preferred in areas with high humidity, frequent temperature changes, high probability of contamination.To clean them in the kitchen and bathroom, as well as in the children is not difficult.In addition, they do not burn out.

At a sufficient height restrictions on the materials do not have shutters

Gentle blinds perfectly fit into the design room, bedroom or office.Different variations of color and design solutions will enable them to not only fit into the interior, but also to become a major focus.

almost spartan minimalism blinds as a species in the case of cluster configurations and roll easily solved: data types are well combined with classic tyulyami and curtains, you can complement one another.

Jalousie for plastic windows: the price issue

Depending on the type of blinds for modern insulating glass can cost from 420 rubles for pack and almost indefinitely.It should be noted that the artificial, plastic fabric and different compositions cost almost two times cheaper than, for example, linen pattern.At the same time they are great bathing (the majority of synthetic fabrics coated with dust and dirt-repellent impregnation), but is unlikely to be able to fit into the classical interior, the eco style, loft and many other interior styles that emphasize the naturalness.

We measure window blinds before installing

Once you have decided the type of blinds, you need to make measurements.To do this, decide whether you want to buy one for the whole window shade or individual per leaf.The first option would introduce a holistic window, visually expand it and increase the light, but will stop during opening.The second is easy to use, but when properly selected size can visually break up the space.

Then perform measurements.If shading is necessary for the entire glazing, as a rule, the curtains are mounted on the upper slope.If the blinds are long, on the outer part when the height of the window - on the inside.In this case, you need to measure the width of the top of the slope and the expected length.

Curtain per leaf, measurements are carried out according to each leaf.It is important that the model has the exact size because if it would be even wider than a centimeter, it will interfere with the opening / closing, and if narrower - your window will look like baby clothes, from which grew.

Note!In no case do not buy blinds "by eye", eye and memory can play cruel joke.
