Installation of blinds on a plastic window. How to hang blinds on a plastic window

There are many types of light-protective canvases, but they have common features. All of them consist of a metal pipe-roller, or a rod, on which a fabric is wound: bamboo or cotton material. The length is adjusted by means of a chain, which is attached to the rotating mechanism on one side of the roll.

Usually at the bottom of the curtain there is a steel or wooden plank-weight, which protects it from deformation, allows it to hang evenly and fit snugly against the glass. The latter is achieved with a pair of small magnets that are glued to the bottom of the frame and attract the weighting agent if it is metal.

You can go a more complicated way and pass a fishing line through the guides, which will hold the roller shutter when the wind fluctuates and opens in the "window" mode. It must first be threaded into the upper fasteners several times so that it does not pull out when pulled. Unwind it to the end, put it in a special eyelet on the weighting bar. Fasten small corners with holes for fishing line at the bottom of the frame. Stretch it there, tie it, cut off the excess.

Sometimes manufacturers install a spring inside the shaft. In this case, it is not necessary to touch the cord with your hands to open or close. It is enough with a little effort to pull the plumb line, located on the bottom bar.

Installation sequence:

We outline the location of the fasteners.
We drill holes, put the side clamps in place, fix them with self-tapping screws.
We put the roller with the cloth in place, close the plugs.
We prepare the guides for installation, remove the protective tape from the self-adhesive layer. We lower the curtain by 20-25 cm.
We put the canvas under the guides and carefully glue them into place.
We install limiters on the chain mechanism or a decorative weight on the weighting bar. We check the functionality.

Installing cassette models

Mark up first.
Using a level, correct the "horizon" of the location of the roller shutter.
Drill holes at the marked points.
Using self-tapping screws at the top of the double-glazed window, screw the box with the roll rolled up inside it.
If you do not want to make holes, use tape at least a millimeter thick. But first, cast a spell over the markings so that the box hangs evenly.

Roller shutters - good decision for any interiors. They are practical, beautiful and allow you to effectively adjust the degree of illumination of the room. Night/day roller blinds are especially good for this. For those who do not want to give up traditional curtains, we can advise you to use them complete with rolls. Very interesting and functional combinations are obtained.

Good afternoon everyone!

Today I would like to talk about installing blinds on a plastic window. The opinion that window openings in residential premises should be covered with textile curtains is a thing of the past.

Blinds are diverse and functional so much that they will give odds to any curtains and tulle. Before buying a design of a certain color or size, you need to think about how it will be located on the window and how you can install it.

vertical or horizontal slats,
rolled or pleated,
fabric or plastic - regardless of these indicators, blinds can be mounted using power tools and without it.

It is important to choose the location option:

in the window opening
over it
or directly on the window sash.

Each of these cases should be considered separately.

Blinds - the most practical way window decorations. Easy to install and low maintenance blinds are very popular. Due to the variety of types and colors, they will harmoniously fit into any room and complement the interior of the room. In this article, we will consider the types of blinds and how to install them on windows. We will learn how to fix blinds on our own in different ways.

Kinds

In building stores, eyes run wide from a variety of colors and textures of window decor. How to choose the right blinds and install them correctly? First of all, let's figure out what types of blinds exist.

Horizontal blinds. The most practical, close the window tightly and protect from light and prying eyes.
Vertical blinds. Most often they are installed in offices or used to decorate blind windows, as they make it difficult to open windows.
Roller blinds. Close the window very tightly. They can become an independent design of a window opening.
Cassette blinds. They consist of a special box, which is installed on the frame. Do not prevent windows from opening.

How to choose

When choosing blinds, start from the functional purpose of the room and the general style of the room. Blinds can be fabric, plastic, aluminum, bamboo, etc.

The variety of colors and textures will allow you to choose the decor that suits your room. Be sure to measure your window before purchasing. This will allow you to choose the product of the appropriate size.

How to install blinds yourself

So, the blinds are bought. Do not rush to call the installation wizard. You can quite cope with this task yourself. In addition to acquiring a useful skill, installing blinds can be an interesting family pastime.

Blinds are installed in three ways:

In the overlay. The product is attached at the top of the opening, and closes the entire window to the window sill or below.
In the window opening. Blinds are mounted in the window opening closer to the window. Also close the entire window to the windowsill.
For each sash separately. The most practical way. The blinds are attached directly to the sash, thereby allowing the sashes to be opened or the window to be ventilated without lifting the blinds.

Note!

When taking measurements, you need to make an allowance depending on the type of installation. If you are going to fasten the blinds overlay - add 10 cm to the width and height of the window opening. You will install blinds in the window opening - the height of the opening in its pure form, the width - minus 1.5 cm. When installing on each sash - the width of the sash is minus 2 cm, the height of the sash is minus 3 cm.

Each type of blinds has its own installation features. Next, we consider separately the principles of fastening products of each type.

Installing horizontal blinds

Usually, all necessary fastenings are included with horizontal blinds. Armed with a screwdriver, we proceed to the installation. They are installed in the window opening or on each sash separately.

To fix the blinds to the window, measure the desired distance and mark the places where the top bar will be attached.
Using a screwdriver, drill holes and attach the corners that will hold the top bar.
Attach the plank to the corners. First on one, then on the second. You should hear a click when attaching.
Dissolve the fixed canvas down, mark the points where the bottom bar will be attached.
Install the bottom bar in the same way as the top bar using the corners.

Installation of vertical blinds

Vertical blinds consist of a cornice with clamps that regulate the sliding / sliding and slats - a canvas that closes the window.

The kit contains all the necessary fasteners, as well as detailed instructions by installation. This type of blinds is installed overlaid.

Attach the cornice with clips to the ceiling. You can use the same screwdriver to fix the eaves.
Insert the slats into the eaves. Each part of the canvas must be mounted separately. To do this, insert each strip into the corresponding latch, wait for a characteristic click.

Installing roller blinds

Roller blinds have the same mechanism as horizontal blinds and are installed in the same way. The most convenient way is to mount roller blinds directly on the sash, then they will not interfere when opening windows. If you need to fix them in a window opening, it is better to use additional brackets, because the window handle protrudes several centimeters. Without brackets, the handle will stick out from under the canvas and spoil the overall look.

Installation of cassette blinds

Cassette-type blinds are a ready-made box with a mechanism that is attached to the window frame. Installation is quite simple.

Attach the top bar to the canvas with screws.
Then glue the side guides (usually on an adhesive basis) onto the sash vertically.
Expand the canvas, adjust the borders of the upper and lower positions of the canvas.
Install all accessories.

Useful advice!

Blinds have a clear geometric shape, so carefully measure and calculate the attachment points to avoid asymmetry and unnecessary holes.

How to fix blinds on plastic windows

What to do if you need to fix the blinds to the sash, but you can’t drill plastic windows? In this case, you can install blinds using brackets. The devices are attached to the frame, and the supporting structure of the blinds is mounted on them. You can fix the bracket to the window frame using:

double-sided tape;
hook on the upper part of the frame of the opening sash.

This method will allow you to securely fix the product, and preserve the integrity of the metal-plastic profile.

To properly install blinds with your own hands, it is important:

decide on the type of blinds you want to purchase;
select best option installations;
take measurements of the window, take into account the necessary margin;
when installing, strictly observe the dimensions of the product;
carefully mark the drilling points;
follow the instructions included in the kit.

How to take measurements

How to install blinds

Use dowels and screws that are appropriate for the fasteners and the material of the wall or ceiling to which the blinds will be attached.

Note!

Before installing fasteners, check if the folded blinds prevent the window from opening.

We advise you to carefully look for window handles, flower pots(and other “foreign” objects on the window sills) interfere with the opening and closing of the blinds and the rotation of the slats (window sill, radiators, etc.)

How to install horizontal blinds

Measure the same distance from each edge of the window.
Drill the wall and insert a dowel suitable for the material of the wall (concrete, plaster, etc.) into it, then screw the fixing with screws.
Using a level and ruler, mark the location of the second fastener. Screw the second fastener in the same way as the first.
When installing horizontal blinds, it is necessary to use an additional intermediate fixing if the width of the blinds exceeds a certain distance. For ceiling mounting vertical blinds over 1.6 m wide, 3 mounting brackets must be installed.
Place an additional fastener at a distance of 10 cm from the control cord (this is where the louver mechanism experiences the greatest load).
Fasten blinds to mounts

Cutting horizontal blinds to width

Lay the folded blinds on a horizontal surface and measure from each side the part that needs to be cut off. It is necessary to cut off equal parts of the blinds on the left and right.
Cut off the cornice and rail. Be sure to cover the slats so as not to damage them.

Height cutting blinds:

Remove the parts that are under the lower cornice at the bottom of the blinds in such a way as to release the cord.
Untie the knots to free the slats.
Remove excess slats to achieve the required blind height.
Align the blinds by inserting the bottom curtain rod into the last link.
Cut off the free ends of the cord, tie knots and put the lower cornice pieces in place.

Roller blind cutting

Using a hacksaw, cut off the tube and bottom cornice.
Cut the fabric with scissors. If a pattern is applied to the curtains, it is necessary to cut equal parts of the curtains on the left and right.
Installation roller blinds on the tube is carried out using the double-sided adhesive tape located on it. (Be careful not to unfold the curtains all the way: always leave some fabric on the tube).

Cutting vertical blinds

Cutting the control rail of vertical blinds.

The slats are easy to cut and install. Cut the slats with scissors to the desired height, following the instructions on the package. Cut off the control rail with a hacksaw.

When choosing the material of the blinds, it is necessary to take into account in which room they will hang. Best for bathroom and kitchen plastic blinds- they are not afraid of moisture and are easy to clean. For the kitchen, you can also recommend aluminum blinds that do not support combustion.

Why are blinds needed?

Their main characteristics are: the ability to easily attach to windows, ease of use and excellent performance of their main function - regulating the light in the room. With constant work at the computer, it is also impossible to do without the use of blinds.

The only question in this case is to understand how you can hang blinds on plastic windows in order to get the most out of their use.

Step-by-step instructions for installing blinds

Determine the size

So, the first step is to buy blinds of the selected production, the appropriate size and other individual characteristics. It should be noted that before going shopping, it is necessary to determine the size of the glass: taking into account this value, you need to know that the blinds must completely cover the glass (in width), slightly going to the limits of the frame.

Unpacking

After the purchase, the initial business is to unpack and untangle the cord, as well as to make out the fasteners.

From what is included in the package, dowels can be set aside, because in this case the blinds will be attached directly to the window.

Deciding on fasteners

We find a mount for which we will mount our blinds. The second step in installing the blinds is to find two metal brackets with latches. This will be required in order to subsequently fix the container with the "blinds" on them.

We make the markup and install the mounting brackets

The next step is markup. For its correct implementation, first of all, you must carefully read the instructions. After all, you need to place the mounting brackets in such a way that it is easy to insert a container into them.

In other words, you need to find optimal distance from the end of the markup. An important point at this step, there is a complete exclusion of amateur performance: everything on the window should be drawn with a pencil according to the level, but not by eye.

Otherwise, the curvature of the fit will immediately catch your eye when the plates rise, and this does not look very aesthetically pleasing. It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that the bars do not move outside the glass, since if there is a shift, the adjustment of the container will be violated.

Useful advice!

Brackets must be fastened with latches upwards. However, before that, it is necessary to drill the window with a drill (thin), and then direct the screws towards the plastic.

If everything is done carefully, then nothing terrible will happen to the window, because the remaining drilled holes removed with acrylic sealant. However, with the accuracy and caution of the execution of this step, they will not be at all.

We put on the container

Then the container is put on. We cover the latches and determine the correct fit. In the event that the brackets are firmly located on the window, and the container is easily removed or put on, it is required to say that the work was done perfectly. However, it is not yet fully completed.

The last thing left is to install the lower holders. Their role is to fix the web of slats and fasten it to protect it from free movement. When lifting, the lower edge of the web must be removed from the holders by hand.

Installing the bottom brackets

In order to mark the lower holders, you need to lower the canvas down. Then you need to estimate by eye their position in the case of a tightly stretched canvas.

With a dangling web, it is impossible to accurately measure the lower holders. After a correct measurement, it is imperative to drill holes and screw the holder with screws.

Mounting holders

At this stage, the question begins to disturb: how should the holder be twisted - outward or inward?

The answer is quite simple: both when screwing in and out, the result remains the same, in any case, no screws remain visible. Therefore, here it is already required to rely on your convenience and principles.

This completed the process of attaching the blinds to the window.

Since windows are made to order and they can have different parameters, it is very important to correctly measure the window for ordering blinds. It is necessary to measure the window in height and width to the nearest millimeter. Remember that the length and width of the blinds should be slightly larger. For measurements, use only a steel tape measure, other types of tape measure (fabric, etc.) may introduce measurement errors.

It is very important to decide how you want to install the blinds: inside the window opening or outside. For the first option, the length of the blinds should be 1 cm less than the height of the opening, and the width - 2 cm less than the width of the opening. If you are going to hang the blinds over the window opening, then the length of the blinds should be 5-7 cm longer, and the width of the plank should be 20 cm more than the width of the opening.

How blinds are attached

There are 4 main ways to attach blinds:

Wall mount above window

In this case, the window and slopes will remain intact, there are no clear restrictions on the width of the blinds (you can make the opening wider or narrower). Many manufacturers have begun to produce windows with already installed fasteners for blinds. If you have installed a package that does not have such fasteners, then you will most likely have to use this particular method of installing blinds.

Before proceeding with the assembly and installation of blinds, it is necessary to understand the blinds device. Horizontal blinds consist of several parts:

The upper part of the blinds includes a swivel axle, rollers, cornice, brackets, control cord holder, rotary mechanism and top cover.

The middle part consists of a ladder, lamellas (a thin plate of plastic or other material) and a plug.

The lower part includes the lower cornice and the side cover.

Assembly of horizontal blinds

In order to assemble the blinds, you will need scissors, a screwdriver, self-tapping screws and a drill. Take it all necessary tools and follow the instructions.

It is necessary to get and check the availability of all components for the blinds.

Take the top and bottom of the crossbar, which has a U-shaped section of the configuration. It must be cut to fit your window.

Make a small hole in the top bar for the control cord. All sharp edges of the hole can be closed with a plastic insert, which should be included in the kit.

After that, it is necessary to fasten the lower cornice with special clamps of the side covers along with the string of strung lamellas.

How to assemble horizontal blinds: video

Since you might not understand something from the text description, we recommend that you watch a video on how horizontal blinds are produced and assembled.

Installation of horizontal blinds on plastic windows

Fix the brackets (fasteners) on the top panel of the blinds.

Attach the blinds to the window and mark out the top fasteners.

Disconnect the brackets from the blinds, fix them with self-tapping screws on the window. After that, insert the blinds until it clicks.

Attach the adjusters.

When a lot of light enters the room, this is fine, but sometimes it becomes too much, it interferes with work or rest. Fixing the situation will help fix the blinds, which are vertical, horizontal, roll. You can mount them yourself or resort to the help of professionals.

Installation of products is carried out to the wall, ceiling or directly into the opening. When purchasing blinds, you need to remember some rules.

First of all, you need to determine the exact parameters of the window - the width and height.
Decide where the control system will be located.
Find out the best type of fasteners for blinds.

Vertical models are usually mounted above the window opening, they can serve as curtains. Horizontal and rolled ones have more options - they are mounted on the upper slope, on the window, on each sash separately. At the same time, they are perfectly combined with any curtains, leaving the window sill free. Everyone must determine the product and installation options that are suitable for themselves.

Blinds are best ordered from the same company that made the windows.

The standard set of products usually includes detailed instructions that tell you how to install it yourself.

Mounting methods

Fastening blinds to plastic windows directly depends on the design and functionality. Horizontal or roll products that cover only glass are attached directly to the frame. In this case, they can function simultaneously or independently of each other. To install vertical blinds on the ceiling, you need to attach a bracket.

The opening sash does not require drilling, as the brackets can be installed using special clips or double-sided tape. The most reliable and durable installation method is screws that are screwed in with a screwdriver. Be sure to keep in mind that the walls in many rooms are uneven, so determining how to install blinds mounts is one of the main factors in the successful completion of the process.

For a quality installation, you need brackets or brackets, which are usually included in the kit, as well as tools: a Phillips screwdriver, a hammer, a drill or a puncher, plumb line, drill, tape measure.
Blinds are mounted on brackets according to a certain algorithm.

Make a markup at the intended installation site.
Hang the blind holder in a certain place: from the ceiling, sash, wall.
Turn the latches of the mechanism counterclockwise to the stop, insert the eaves, return the latches to their original position.

Installation of blinds on non-standard openings using drilling is different.

Brackets are installed at the top of the frame, and plastic corners are installed at the bottom.
In special bushings of the upper cornice, it is necessary to fix the cables.
Attach the cornice to the brackets.
Pass the cable through the holes in the slats.
Another pair of bushings must be inserted into the holes of the lower brackets, the cable should be passed through them and fixed.
Attach the handle to the structure.
Check system performance.

Installation of fasteners for blinds on inclined windows using screws is carried out in a similar way using drilling.

How to determine the size of the blinds?

When installing blinds on large openings, it is imperative to use intermediate elements, which will significantly increase the reliability of the structure. One bracket must be placed next to the control mechanism, since this area is most subject to stress. However, keep in mind that it should not interfere with the normal functioning of the system.

The width of the blinds installed on the sashes and opening with them must correspond to the parameters of the window plus three centimeters - one and a half on each side. Installation inside the opening implies a canvas four centimeters smaller than the width of the window - two centimeters on each side. For free functioning between the canvas and the upper edge of the opening, a gap is required.

Installation outside the window opening requires the use of a canvas that is ten centimeters larger than the width of the window - five on each side. The length is not less than the height of the window plus ten centimeters. If the window handle protrudes, the blinds are attached to the brackets. In this case, the canvas should exceed the width of the opening by 20 centimeters, which will more effectively darken the room.

Before installing blinds fasteners, it is necessary to check whether the chosen design will not interfere with the normal functioning of the shutters.

Vertical models are mainly attached to the ceiling. They consist of a cornice with a control mechanism and lamellas made of different materials: plastic, fabric, wood. After installing the eaves, it is necessary to attach the lamellas, while it is imperative to ensure that the seams on the plates are inside when the blinds are closed. After installing all the strips, it is necessary to attach a cord that activates the control mechanism, and so that it does not get tangled, a special plumb line included in the kit is put on it - it can be of any shape.

The slats are easy to cut, so in case of errors in the calculation, the position can be easily corrected using simple tools. Modern manufacturers are doing everything possible to minimize the complexity of the process. The main thing is to hang the strips correctly, since all windows have different parameters.

How to choose?

Due to the simplicity of the design, blinds are made very quickly, and a variety of mounting methods - with or without drilling - allows you to install them on windows with both a rotary and a folding mode of operation. Now it is not necessary to drill the frame at all, and in case of dismantling, unattractive holes will not remain.
Modern manufacturers offer completely new installation methods:

holding magnets that allow the canvas to be parallel to the sash;
double sided tape;
brackets or clips that are attached to the sash.

Before installing the blinds, it is necessary to check the tightness of the window, make sure that there are no drafts that will shake the structure and interfere with its functioning.

The installation method depends on the design and size of the product. When choosing a model, it is necessary to take into account the functional purpose of the room. During work, you must exercise maximum precision and care, as well as determine for yourself the most suitable product, how to install and operate it. It is important to remember that all blinds have strict geometric shapes, so even a slight misalignment during installation will ruin appearance and complicate the operation of the control mechanism.

Today, blinds are one of the most effective decoration elements. inner space premises. They gracefully regulate the flow of sunlight, and ease of use, affordable cost, a variety of models and materials used for production, allow them to remain relevant for more than a decade.

Another factor influencing popularity is easy care, which consists in periodically wiping the slats with a sponge dipped in soapy water. Once a year, the strips should be removed, rolled each into a roll and placed in water with detergent- the dirt will come off without any additional action. After rinsing them wet, hang them in a place where they will straighten out on their own. Separate types blinds can only be dry-cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

A huge range of products of various configurations and sizes allows you to choose suitable option in each specific case. You can install products yourself, however, there are restrictions on warranty service. More reliable option– turn to specialists, this will avoid many difficulties.

There are two different options for attaching blinds to a plastic window. Let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages different ways fasteners and find out how to hang blinds with your own hands.

Blinds for some cases of interior planning may be preferable to curtains. Their main advantage is the ability to regulate the luminous flux. All that needs to be done for this is to rotate the lamellas at a larger or smaller angle relative to the window surface. There are two main ways to fasten blinds. Let's analyze their advantages and find out. How to fix them with your own hands.

How to take measurements correctly

First of all, blinds must be right size. To do this, you need to decide on the method of fixing. The methods can be divided into two groups:

If you plan to put blinds on several windows, you should measure each opening separately. Although it seems that the window openings are exactly the same, this is far from always true. A discrepancy of 2-3 cm can lead to difficult-to-remove consequences.

If you plan to mount a vertical structure, you must measure the height and width of the window opening. It is worth being careful when measuring, since it is possible to shorten too long slats, but adding additional elements to narrow blinds will be problematic.

If the model has horizontal slats, measurements will be somewhat more difficult. If the blinds are attached to the opening, you need to determine what the width and height are. The length of the canvas is selected at your own discretion. You can find both models up to the windowsill, and long options that reach the floor. If necessary, blinds with plastic or aluminum slats are not difficult to make shorter.

When installing directly on the frame, you will need to consider whether the window will open.

If the window is solid, not opening, you can measure the width of the entire opening. If the sashes open, it is worth ordering a hotel structure for each half of the window. Measurements must also be taken accordingly. Measure the parameters of the glass (width x height) and add 20 mm at the top and 5 mm at the edges.

When designing blinds that are attached directly to the frame, make sure that they will not interfere with the operation of the fittings and will not become an insurmountable obstacle during its maintenance (lubrication, adjustment, etc.)

Preparatory work

So, the mounting method is determined, the blinds are selected, ordered, manufactured and delivered to the apartment. What to do next? Before you start attaching the blinds to the window, it is worth doing some preparatory work.

First of all, you need to unpack ready product, carefully unravel all the cords, leaving not the slightest knot, examine the finished product. According to the attached instructions, it is necessary to carefully check the completeness, make sure that all structural elements are in place and look exactly as in the instructions.

If at the packing stage something was mixed up or not reported to the box, it will not be possible to install the blinds. It is better to immediately address the manufacturer with claims than to look for a replacement or improvise, trying to do without the missing part.

You also need to prepare the window itself. All unnecessary items must be removed from it. It is worth protecting the window sill and the next meters of the floor with newspapers from dust and the inevitable debris during drilling. It's also worth making sure you have a secure foothold (ladder or trestles) that the drill cord allows you to reach all the drilling points.

Preparatory work when attaching blinds is not difficult and does not take much time. But if all these operations are not done on time, the installation process can be significantly delayed in time and require large labor costs.

without drilling

Modern plastic double-glazed windows allow you to install blinds without resorting to an electric drill. There may be several reasons for choosing this mounting method. For example, the prohibition under the terms of the lease agreement to carry out such manipulations on rented housing. Other reasons may be the lack of the necessary power tools, unwillingness to mess with drilling or spoil the surroundings.

First of all, it is worth considering that fasteners without the use of drills and self-tapping screws are usually less reliable. This means that only light structures can be fixed in place in this way.

Usually the lamellas in them are arranged horizontally and are made of a thin and light polymer. For heavier models, it is still worth choosing a mounting method using self-tapping screws. You can usually find out if the selected model can be hung without drilling from the attached instructions.

To work, you will need double-sided adhesive tape and scissors. The order of work is as follows:

The last stage of installation is fastening the adjusting strips to the block and installing the slats in place. Reliability of fastening quite allows the blinds (provided that the model is not too heavy) to hang in place for several years without warping or separating from the place of attachment. However, when cleaning (removing dust from the records), you need to be careful not to tear off the structure.

If over time you need to remove the blinds installed on the adhesive tape, this is quite easy to do. A special liquid (for example, the Anti-Scotch composition) will help remove traces of glue.

But if there is no professional solvent at hand, you can use a rag soaked in WD-40 or vegetable oil.

Necessary materials and tools

Now let's look at mounting on self-tapping screws. This is a much more versatile option that allows you to hang almost any model in any way of fastening (on the ceiling, in the opening or on the walls).

First of all, you should pay attention to the quality of the fasteners attached to the blinds in the kit. Sometimes manufacturers (especially this statement applies to cheap Chinese-made models) put too short and thin self-tapping screws made of low-quality steel into the kit. If you plan to mount heavy structures to the ceiling, you may want to purchase something more reliable.

Also for work you will need:

Measuring tool: pencil, ruler with bubble level, tape measure.
Drill. A drill for a drill is usually used No. 6.
Dowel and hammer.
Mounting brackets (usually included with the product).
Scissors.
Screwdriver.

Having prepared a set of tools for work, you can proceed.

How to hang blinds on plastic windows with your own hands. Step-by-step instruction

The installation process usually does not cause any difficulties even for those who do this work for the first time. We will look at the installation of vertical blinds. Here are the main steps to follow:

First of all, markup. Brackets are usually mounted at a distance of 90 - 100 mm from the eaves. Mark the holes for the brackets with a pencil and drill them.
Insert plastic dowels into the holes. Insert the self-tapping screws into the bracket holes and screw them into the dowels.
Install a cornice with fixed decorative panels on the brackets.
Runners are assembled according to the instructions given. You need to attach a canvas to them and thread them into the eaves.
Weights are inserted into the bottom of the canvases. A decorative chain is attached to them.
Limiters are inserted into the ends of the cornice and closed with decorative plugs.

Installation of horizontal blinds differs slightly. The main difference is great sensitivity to strict observance of the horizontal installation.

After assembly, it is important to carefully check the operation of all elements of the system (make sure that you can open and close the blinds, as well as change the angle of rotation).

Here are some tips from professional installers:

Before purchasing, make sure that the kit includes a set of necessary brackets. For some companies, only the canvas is included in the kit price, and mounting and adjusting structures must be purchased separately.
If defects are found, do not try to fix them yourself. Contact the manufacturer for replacement or repair.

The main thing in any work is accuracy and adherence to technology. If everything is done correctly, you can hang the blinds with your own hands, quickly and without much difficulty.
