Roller blind systems

A variety of roller blind systems will solve almost any technical issues regarding the installation of this type of product. And many types of fabrics and materials make it possible to choose curtains to suit any room design.

Free-hanging roller blind systems

Free-hanging roller blinds are curtains whose fabric (without additional fastenings) is not secured in any way. This is especially inconvenient when, for example, the sash of a plastic window is being ventilated. In this case, the fabric will be positioned perpendicular to the floor. However, for free-hanging roller blinds, there are additional fasteners that help keep the fabric parallel to the opening window sash, regardless of its position. Ventilated or open.

Mini

Roller blinds of the Mini system are the most budget-friendly type of all open roller systems. Install it both on the window sash and on the wall, covering the entire window opening. Either in the window opening, on the side or upper slopes. This is a budget and compact system.

Day Night

Roller blinds of the Day-Night system are actually two free-hanging roller blinds of the Mini system installed on one bracket. During the day you lower one panel, and in the evening, when it gets dark, another. Canvases in color and density are selected based on the design of the room and your preferences. This is a rather rare system at the time of writing this article, little known. Many people confuse this system with Zebra curtains or pleated blinds, which also have two layers of fabric.

Cassette roller blind systems

Cassette roller blinds are a class of curtains that are designed to be installed only separately on the window sash, but there are “craftsmen” who adapt them for other purposes. The installed product is, as it were, one whole with the plastic window, its complement. In the cassette system, a roll of wound fabric is located inside a decorative box. And the vertical edges of the fabric run along the guides. This is a more expensive system compared to a free-hanging one, but its functional and aesthetic qualities often overcome the sense of economy.

Uni-1 (Uni-1)

Roller blinds of the Uni-1 system (Uni-1) are a compact system of cassette curtains with flat guides; they protrude less from the window, thereby allowing the window sash to open to a wider angle. But quite often, modern plastic windows do not have a sufficient depth of glazing bead and it is necessary to use the Uni-2 system. This type of product does not require additional fixation of the plumb line of the fabric, since the plumb line and edges of the fabric are hidden by flat, decorative guides.

Uni-2 (Uni-2)

Roller blinds of the Uni-2 system are cassette curtains with “U” shaped guides, just like the Uni-1 (Uni-2) system, the fabric sheet is hidden in the guides, which eliminates gaps. And if you use Blackout fabric on this system, you can achieve complete darkening of the room. This will be relevant for a children’s room with a small child, or for a room in which the projector is planned to operate.

Zebra Uni-1

Roller blinds of the Zebra Uni-1 system are essentially a regular Uni-1 cassette system, only with striped fabric installed in two layers. It has the same advantages and disadvantages as the main type. Does not require additional fixation of plumb line and fabric. Has flat decorative guides. The color of the box and guides may not necessarily be white, but also brown, oak, light oak, etc.

Zebra Uni-2

Roller blinds of the Zebra Uni-2 system are the most versatile roller blind system compared to Zebra Uni-1, since installation on the window sash does not require a large bead depth. But in some cases, when the slope of a plastic window is not installed far enough from the hinges of the opening sash, it will allow the latter to swing open to a smaller angle.

Choosing a color

When choosing the color of roller blinds, be sure to take into account the shade of the wall decoration and, in general, the color scheme that predominates in the room. If you want to make accent curtains, it is not at all necessary to choose an eye-catching color; it is enough to take a slightly lighter or darker shade compared to the general color scheme.

Roller blinds can be matched to almost any interior.

If the walls have a pattern, then let the curtains be plain; this will also become a kind of accent in the interior. Another way to draw attention to window openings is to choose different fabrics for the sashes, especially if the window is large and has three sashes: one color in the center and another color on the sides. It is roller blinds that allow you to decorate the window opening in this way.

Roller blinds provide good blackout performance.

When it comes to decorating a bedroom or office, give preference to calm pastel colors. More active color solutions are also quite suitable for a nursery or living room. To create a harmonious interior, there is an unspoken rule: if the walls are decorated with a pattern, then it is better to use plain roller blinds for window openings, and vice versa, with plain walls, it is better to choose canvases with a pattern.

Curtains for the kitchen must meet certain requirements.

Recently, more and more often, designers are choosing white color for interior decoration. In this case, the curtains should be colored, otherwise the feeling of a hospital ward or office will be created. And colored (or patterned) roll sheets will give the room a finished look and refresh it.

It is better to refuse curtains whose design duplicates your wallpaper. Believe me, such “butter oil” has not yet decorated any interior.

Kitchen roller blinds should be in harmony with the design of the room.

To make the room appear wider, choose translucent fabrics or canvases with a longitudinal pattern. And to visually add height - vertical ornaments or stripes.

For windows on the north side, it is preferable to use gold, cream and yellow shades. And for southern windows, blue-green, gray and blue canvases will be a worthy addition. Thanks to them, you can feel fresh and cool on a hot day.

A light roller blind will fit into any space.

Roller blinds appeared in our everyday life relatively recently, but have already become everyone’s favorites. What else does a modern housewife need: ease of use, minimal time and effort required for maintenance, as well as functionality and a stylish appearance. The abundance of color options and ease of installation are another couple of “pluses” in the collection of roller blinds.

Roller blinds are comfortable and ergonomic.

Ways to control roller blinds

There are three main ways to control roller blinds. Each of them has its pros and cons. Let's analyze and describe each of them.

Chain

The chain control mechanism for roller blinds is the most cost-effective and common type of control. The chain is made up of plastic balls attached to a strong thread, the two ends of which are fastened with a control chain lock. The mechanisms are painted in different colors, often white, but depending on needs, you can install brown, light brown, oak, mahogany and others. Of course, provided that you make custom roller blinds.

The roller blind is controlled as follows. Pulling one end of the chain raises the curtain and lowers it at the other.

Advantages:

Prevalence, installed on all types of roller blinds
Price
Ease of use
Maintainability

Flaws:

There is a possibility of a chain break. (Children, pets, etc.)

Spring-loaded (PIM)

The spring-inertial mechanism for controlling roller blinds is a rather expensive type of control, and is used in cases where the chain mechanism is not suitable for some reason. A spring inserted into the roller blind shaft. Lowering the curtain down is carried out by applying force to the lower plumb line of the fabric on which the handle is installed. At this moment the spring comes into tension. When the curtain fabric is lifted up, the spring winds the fabric fabric onto the shaft and the tension in it decreases. It is possible to install the Uni-2 system in such a way that the fabric covers the window from bottom to top or, for example, from right to left

Advantages:

No control circuit

Flaws:

Price
Not suitable for all roller blind systems
You have to reach to the top

Electric

Electric control is the most expensive and most convenient control for roller blinds. The big advantage is that it can be used in conjunction with a smart home system. Set the opening/closing of curtains for a certain time of day (this will be relevant for flowers, for example). This type of control will solve the problem of controlling curtains on hard-to-reach windows (staircases in cottages, two-level apartments or rooms with high windows).

Advantages:

Convenience
Reliability
Maintainability

Flaws:

Price
Not suitable for all roller blind systems

Features of assembling drapery with decor

Roller blinds can be decorated with a figured cut along the bottom of the canvas.

Curtains with a decorative shape are sewn in the same way as simple ones, but the weight strip is located above the figured element, the drawstring is placed immediately after it

The curtains are cut as in the first case, but for decoration, another 25 cm is added to the length. To cut out the figured edge, you need to prepare a template from paper. If the fabric is double, then the fabric is folded with the right sides facing each other and chipped.

The template is applied to the bottom edge of the curtain and outlined with chalk. The curtains are sewn down according to the applied pattern, the side seams are sewn up. The curtain is turned to the right side, the seams are ironed. The top edge is folded inward, secured with an iron and a stitch is laid.

Next you need to stitch the drawstring on the side that will face the glass. To do this, you need to prepare in advance a piece of material equal to the width of the curtain. The width of the segment should be such that the weighting material can fit in, plus the hem for the seams.

First you need to process the side cuts, and then place it face down and stitch. Then you need to apply a weighting agent, wrap the drawstring around it, mark where the second seam will go, and remove the weighting agent. Pin the second edge of the drawstring to the curtain fabric and stitch it.

Methods for installing roller blinds

Depending on the tasks and design features of the installation site, various methods of installing roller blinds are used.

Down up

Roller blinds Bottom-up

— at their core, these are Uni-2 cassette roller blinds with a spring mechanism (PIM) or (PIM) installed upside down. It is also possible to install these curtains so that the fabric opens from right to left or vice versa. The roll of fabric, which is closed with a decorative box, in this case, will be positioned vertically, and the fabric sheet will be closed/opened horizontally. The system is relevant for the first and underground (basement) floors of buildings, when it is required that the lower part of the window be closed and the upper part slightly open. Let me clarify that pleated curtains can also open from bottom to top.

Advantages:

Solves a specific problem
Convenience

Into the opening

Roller blinds in the opening

- a practical option for installing roller blinds. It can be installed either on the side slopes or on the top slopes of the window, or on the window frame itself. In this case, you need to look at how and what the slopes are made of. This is necessary in order to determine whether the curtain will be securely fastened. Often, slopes are made of special siding, which is not very durable, and the fasteners will not hold well. It is possible that the handle of the swing sash will interfere with the fabric, or vice versa, the roll of fabric, when the window sash is opened. If one of the listed reasons is present, then it is better to install the roller blind on the wall, thereby covering the entire opening.

Roller blinds on the wall

— when installing a roller blind on a wall, first of all, look to see if any objects (switches, etc.) will interfere with the operation of the curtain. Decide on the height of the product, it is better to take it with a reserve, and adjust the actual height using chain limiters.

To the ceiling

Roller blinds for the ceiling

— in some cases, it is necessary to install roller blinds on the ceiling or on the upper, horizontal slope of the window. In this case, the brackets are screwed to a horizontal plane and the roller blind functions properly. Unless of course the ceiling is suspended. If it is not possible to install the products on the ceiling, but you need to place the roll as close to the ceiling as possible, then simply install the roller blinds on the wall, as close to the ceiling as possible.

Roller blinds for attic/slanted windows

— it is possible to install both free-hanging ones, complete with fishing line or cables, and cassette ones. When removing the size, it is necessary to take into account the angle of inclination of the wall or window and the density of the fabric. If the fabric is heavy, for example blackout, and the angle is significant, then the fabric can still sag. In addition, you may encounter the problem that the curtain fabric will not fall down well.

Material selection

To calculate the required amount of material, the opening of a plastic window or the size of glass in a wooden frame is measured. Based on the obtained dimensions, the required amount of fabric is determined:

the length of the canvas is the height of the glass or opening plus 5–15 cm;
The width of the curtain should be equal to the width of the glass or opening plus 2 to 4 cm for allowances.

You need 2 such cloths - for the front and back sides of the product. The curtain can be sewn from material with the same or different patterns.

It is necessary to choose fabric for roller blinds carefully. It is desirable that it be:

reflective or opaque;
antibacterial;
moisture-repellent;
dust-repellent.

Fabrics treated with special impregnations have such properties.

To make the ceilings visually higher, you should choose a material with a vertical pattern. A canvas with a transverse pattern will visually increase the width of the room.

Options for roller blinds

There are a very large number of options for configurations and designs of roller blinds. This opportunity makes it possible to choose practical curtains for any interior and on any surface. Solve many technical difficulties.

With photo printing

Roller blinds with photo printing

is an original and exclusive solution for any room. Especially if a professional designer worked on it. Photo printing is applied to a white fabric. You can choose fabric with light transmission, or blackout - fabric with 100% darkening. The print can be applied to almost any roller blind system, with the exception of the Zebra or Perforated (Night City) system.

Advantages:

Exclusivity (when made to order)
Convenience
Reliability
Maintainability
Installation on any system of roller blinds (except Zebra and perforated)
You can buy ready-made options in the shopping center
Present on Aliexpress
You can install an electric drive

Flaws:

Price
Strong smell of ink (if the printing is ink on the printer and not sublimation)
Sun fading (again, only complaints about ink)

Perforated

Roller blinds with perforation

- This is an absolutely new product for 2022. Few manufacturers currently produce these products, which is why their prices are very high. This is also due to the labor-intensive process of applying perforation to the roller blind fabric, which requires special, expensive equipment.

Advantages:

New
Originality
Exclusivity (when made to order)
Convenience
Reliability
Maintainability
Installation on any roller blind system (except Zebra)
Electric drive can be installed

Flaws:

Price
Strong smell of ink (if the printing is ink on the printer and not sublimation)
Sun fading (again, only complaints about ink)
Lack of ready-made options in the shopping center (maybe they will appear soon)

How to decorate

If making homemade blinds is difficult the first time, start by decorating standard mass-produced models. Boring white plates can be “dressed” with film or wallpaper with any picture.

Action plan:

Choose the color, pattern, texture of wallpaper or self-adhesive film that fits into the design project.
Measure the plastic sheets and mark the material chosen for decoration.
Cut the paper or self-adhesive so that the geometry of the pattern is maintained.
Glue the blanks onto the main structure.
Wipe off excess glue and trim any protruding corners.

Choose products with a moisture-resistant coating so that the glued elements do not peel off during wet cleaning.

Mounting options for roller blinds

There are not many mounting options, but they are quite enough to ensure that the roller blinds are held securely and firmly. Let's look at the most popular of them.

For self-tapping screws

Fastening roller blinds with self-tapping screws

- This is the most budget-friendly, reliable and widespread method. The screw heads are not very noticeable, for which special recesses are provided in the brackets. Without exception, all roller blind systems are installed using self-tapping screws or self-tapping screws. But if the task is, for example, not to make holes in the frame of a plastic window, then installing a roller blind with tape will come to the rescue.

Advantages:

Price
Reliability
Easy to install
All roller blind systems are installed without exception.

Flaws:

You will have to drill holes in the surface

With double-sided tape

Attaching roller blinds with double-sided tape

— fastening with double-sided tape must be used if there is no possibility or desire to fasten with self-tapping screws. Installing roller blinds with tape is less reliable. This can be especially true if the side is sunny. In this case, at high temperatures, the tape may soften and the curtain will fall over time. Most manufacturers warn about this and in this case do not provide a guarantee for the installation of the product. Uni-2 cassette roller blinds are better placed on the window sash, since the area of the glued surface is much larger than that of the roller blinds of the Mini system. Before gluing, thoroughly degrease the surface.

Advantages:

No need to drill the window frame
Easy to install
Mini systems are installed, as well as Uni-2 systems.

Flaws:

Price (slightly more expensive)
Less secure mount
Installation only on the sash or frame of a plastic window.

On plastic clips

Attaching roller blinds to plastic clips

- used quite rarely, since this type of fastening of roller blinds can only be installed on a swing sash. Roller blinds are installed on a blind sash either with screws or with tape.

Advantages:

Fairly secure fastening
No need to drill the window frame
Easy to install
Only Mini systems are installed

Flaws:

Price (slightly more expensive)
Installation only on the opening sash of a plastic window.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's take a closer look at the strengths of roller blinds.

Unlike the beloved blinds, thanks to the range of colors and textures of roller blinds, you can effectively decorate a window opening in any design project.
The window takes on a finished look, roller blinds look very impressive.
They take up minimal space, which means that even in small rooms there is room for such a stylish window opening design.
Simple and convenient controls allow you to “open” the windows as much as you need. A regular chain or an electric drive does not matter.
Thanks to the excellent combination with curtains, you can not only regulate the flow of light, but also create interesting color schemes.
An excellent option for roller blinds is roller blinds with a colored frame.
The canvas is treated with a special compound, thanks to which dust and dirt do not accumulate on the surface. This means that if you don’t want to spend a lot of time on washing and ironing, it is better to give preference to roll options. Many manufacturers today even offer fire-resistant roll sheets.
Easy to install. Often, roller blinds can be attached without even using a drill and screws.
Long period of operation.

Roller blinds are compact, efficient and convenient.
Of course, there are some shortcomings, and although they are very conditional, they still exist. First of all, this is the failure of the mechanism in cheap models. And, as a result, the second “minus” is the high cost of roller blinds from trusted brands.

Fasteners for the lower fabric plumb

For free-hanging roller blinds, it is possible to use additional clamps for the lower plumb of the fabric. Fixation is used to stabilize the fabric and finishing strip of roller blinds.

Magnets

Magnets for attaching the finishing strip of roller blinds

- used to fix the lower plumb of the fabric. This is especially true when the sash is open for ventilation, i.e. Only the top part of the sash is folded back. But sounds that arise from the wind when the window sash is open can also cause discomfort. The lower plumb line hits the window frame. The disadvantages include the fact that fixation occurs only in one position, when the curtain is completely in the lowered final position. As soon as you slightly raise the finishing strip, it will move away from the magnets and will no longer press against you.

Advantages:

Reliability
Convenience
Easy to install
Installed on Mini and Maxi systems
There are magnets attached to double-sided tape.

Flaws:

Additional holes in the window frame (when installing magnets with screws)
Fixation only in the lowered position of the roller blind

Fishing line or cable

Fishing line or cable to stabilize the plumb line of the fabric

— used on free-hanging roll systems. Thick fishing line is installed on small, light roller blinds, and a cable or strong, braided braid is installed on heavy, massive roller blinds. An undoubted advantage is that the curtains are fixed along the entire height, regardless of the position it is in, closed or half-open.

Advantages:

Easy to install
Installed on Mini and Maxi systems
There are fastenings with double-sided tape
Fixation along the entire height of the window sash, unlike magnets

Flaws:

Additional holes in the window frame (when installing fasteners with screws)
Less convenient compared to magnets, you can accidentally touch and tear or damage the curtain, and it can also be damaged by pets or children.

Plastic fastenings

Plastic fastenings for the finishing strip of roller blinds

— plastic fasteners are used more often with horizontal blinds, but there are rare cases when the problem can be solved only in this way, so I decided to include them in the section with roller blinds. The reason for their rare use on roller blinds is that the fixation occurs as if on a permanent basis. It is often not very convenient to remove and insert the lower plumb line.

Advantages:

Easy to install
Installed on Mini and Maxi systems
There are fastenings with double-sided tape
Sometimes a problem can be solved only with this type of fastening

Flaws:

Inconvenience of use (specifically for roll systems)
Additional holes in the window frame (when installing fasteners with screws)
Less convenient compared to magnets
Fixation only in lowered position

Roller blinds to order or ready-made

Most roller blinds are made to order from manufacturers. But some types can also be found ready-made.

Custom made roller blinds

Custom-made roller blinds are significantly more expensive than ready-made roller blinds, but the big advantage is that in this case the products are made to your dimensions. You yourself decide on the system and material that will be installed on your windows. In most companies, a specialist comes to your home and advises you on the spot, taking into account all your wishes and nuances. Installation is carried out by the manufacturer and provides a guarantee for the product and installation. All you have to do is desire and timely payment for services. But be prepared for the fact that this is the most expensive option for purchasing roller blinds. But in my opinion, it is the most suitable for apartments and offices. In a production facility where special aesthetics are not required, you can install cheap options from ready-made kits.

Advantages:

Convenience
Guarantee
Minimum actions

Flaws:

Price

Ready-made roller blinds in shopping centers

If you decide to save money. ready -made roller blinds in such shopping centers as Obi, Castorama, Leroy Merlin and other large shopping centers in your city. But be prepared for the fact that the choice of colors is very limited. The sizes will also need to be selected with special attention. You will have to do the measurement and installation yourself. And as a result, there is a risk of buying a product of the wrong size. But the price of finished products, oh... it's just a fairy tale! For a few thousand rubles you can decorate your entire apartment.

Advantages:

Price (just a fairy tale)

Flaws:

Small selection of colors
The size range comes with a certain step
Takes a lot of time and effort, requires brain activity
All responsibility is on you

Roller blinds from Aliexpress

If you have a very limited budget, then you can order roller blinds on Aliexpress . But be prepared for the fact that you will have to wait quite a long time. Not all sellers have high-quality components. Limited selection of colors and materials. Difficulties with choice. Negotiations with the seller about sizes will be difficult. You can even order components and use them to make roller blinds for your windows with your own hands. Who knows, maybe over time this will turn into your own business.

Advantages:

Price (just a fairy tale)
