How to measure blinds on plastic windows. Measuring rolled curtains of various types with their own hands. What errors are encountered when measuring

Blinds are an excellent solution for the modern interior: they will protect the furniture and wallpaper from the bright sun and fast fading and will decorate any room. With the right choice of material and species, blinds will successfully serve their owner for many years. The main thing for this is not to be mistaken at measurement.

You can measure the blind window to order on your own, but this process requires accuracy and accuracy. For those who still decided to do this work without assistance, the answer to the question: "?" provided below.

What do you need to pay attention to the first place at first?

  • need steel roulette. Only this tool will help get the most accurate result. Any other funds will not fit;
  • no roundings. Accuracy up to a millimeter - the main factor in this process;
  • when ordering blinds, first write width, and then long. This is a very common mistake, be careful;
  • any parameter must be measured in several places, because many windows do not have an ideal rectangular shape, and uneven slopes can interfere with blinds freely drop and climb.

If you do not take into account the huge variety of materials (plastic, wood, a variety of fabrics), now the range of any store or firm that provides services for the installation of blinds, offers its customers 3 types of goods:

  • horizontal;
  • vertical;
  • rolled.

You can also order protective blinds, but when they measure them, you need to be extremely neat, so it is better to take advantage of professional help.

For independent measurement of each type of blinds there is a separate technology. About this and additional, more detailed information, read below.

Horizontal shutters

Horizontal blinds came to our market first, and still successfully cope with competition. These blinds are very convenient to use.

To measure, you need to first decide on the installation method. If it is planned that the blinds will overlap the window and attached to the wall or ceiling, you need to measure for the installation "on the opening". Installation of blinds that does not exceed the size of the window is called "in the opening", and if the fastening on the frame occurs, this option is called "on the sash". For the first and second method, the Management Party is not important, it may be both on the right and left.

Such a fastener will allow you to visually increase the window. It will be a good designer solution, because the settings of the blinds do not depend on the size of the window and may vary.

The first thing you need to do is to extinate the width and height of the window opening. For the most accurate and correct result, we make measurements in several places, and for the reply we take the greatest indicator.

The final data for ordering the blinds should look like this:

  • width \u003d width of opening + 1cm (at least, you can more);
  • height \u003d Height of the opening + 5cm (you can also increase).

Blinds installed in this way are perfect for large windows. This option takes a minimum of space and is very practical.

For this type of installation, it is necessary to measure the width and height of the window opening and choose the highest indicator (similar to the method of fastening "on the opening"). Further from the obtained data (and height, and widths), we take at least 1 cm. From the width, it is better to take a little more, because the window slopes are often uneven, and the blinds may not pass along the size, stick or cling to the wall.

This type of fastening is most convenient to use, because when opening the window it does not need to be folded, and the windowsill completely released for flowers, for example.

In this case, measurement operations are slightly different. They are conducted as follows:

  • it is necessary to measure the width of the window sash in several places (by the stroke boundaries) and choose the largest number obtained;
  • height is measured similarly;
  • final width: + 1cm to primary size;
  • final height: + 3 cm.

The control mechanism must be located on the opposite side with respect to the handle if the window opens.

Such blinds add refinement to the interior. Successfully selected material and color will become a real decoration for any room.

Vertical blinds can be attached to "in the opening" or "on the opening". The choice depends on the form of the window and designer preferences. It is also necessary to consider that the window will look flawless if the width of the blinds will be multiple 8cm (if they are folded in one direction) or 16cm (if in two). Only in this case, all the slats will uniformly close the window.


In order for blinds to stand out as part of the interior or covered the pipes and the battery, the attachment of the blinds "on the opening" is perfect. Installation "On the opening" will also hide the windows of the window, but you need to take into account the windowsill. If it acts more than 6cm, you should take care of the elongated bracket.

To measure such blinds - they will be attached to the ceiling or wall - we measure the width and height of the window. Then add at least 20cm to the first indicator (the blinds will perform on 10 cm on each side). When installing on the ceiling, add to the height distance from the window to the ceiling. If on the wall - at least + 10 cm. There is also a plurality of the desired shutter length.


If the room is small, there is little free space, and under the window there are some kind of furniture, it is better to choose this method. But the attachment of the blinds "in the opening" will only suit a more or less smooth window, without significant discrepancies in size. Also this option will be cheaper.

How to get the necessary data? The width will peel the width of the opening window minus 1cm, and from the height you need to take 2-3cm.

This kind of blinds (the second name - Roman curtains) is very practical. The main advantage - rolled blinds can be collapsed, and they will not take place in the room at all. You can also close the window to a certain level and generally darken the room.

You can install Roman curtains on the wall and "in the window opening". You can also order a popular "day-night" system. When you select any installation to a measured altitude, it is better to add 0.5 cm for the cornice.


Measurement of rolled blinds with the installation of "Vanoslest"

First you need to measure the width and height of the window. Further to the obtained parameters add the necessary centimeters. To the width plus at least 10 cm, to the height - + 20cm.

Measurement of rolled blinds with installation "In the opening"

Measure the parameters required for this option to install rolled blinds, very simple.

The required width of the carnis will be equal to the width of the window opening, and the height is the height of the window, respectively. But you need to remember that the window can be uneven. In this case, it is better to refuse from the installation "in the opening".

Measurement of rolled blinds with the installation "Day-night"

With such blinds, lighting in the room can be independently adjusted, because the curtains consist of the strips.

We measure the width along the outer edge of the stroke, and the height is on the frame. This is the ready-made data.

If you decide to install blinds on their own, to buy or order the production of blinds with the subsequent installation of professionals, you need to properly measure and calculate data for mounting what will help this article.

Manufacturers, or Installer Installers require serious payment for their services for quality work. Therefore, many tenants rely on their own strengths and skills, when measuring and installing purchased ready-made blinds.

To correctly measure windows for any kind of blinds, you must first decide on the type of blinds (vertical or horizontal), and select the option of them.

Selecting the option of fastening blinds on the window opening

  • on top of the window opening (eaves mounted on the wall above the window);
  • inside the window pass;
  • installation inside - on the sash. Which of three ways is better - to solve you, focusing on the window design, and the type of chosen blinds.
    Vertical blinds are attached to the wall over the opening, less often - directly in the opening of the window.
    Rolled, or rolls, are attached in any way.
    On the Russian PVC windows it is advisable to put shutters on each shutter, because thanks to this method will be the maximum maneuverability in the window area, while the shutters fixed in the opening of the window, you will need every time to open and close in order to open up a window for ventilation.

If you - happy owner of a broader Euro-type windows, with beautiful overhead racks in the wings - you will approach a way to mount blinds in the window opening, or on top of the opening.
Blinds, mounted in the opening of accurate jack, can be beautifully highlighted on contrasting walls with open edge of plastic or wood.

On the beauty of one way or another way can be arguing for a long time, but it is better to have a visual comparison. The illustration below shows how the window looks like when installing outside, inside the opening, or on the sash.


If the clear perimeter of the window is harmoniously complements the interior, then it is better to put blinds inside the sash
How visually changes the magnitude of the window at different installation methods The location of the attachment block over the plastic window also visually lengthens the window

So, the list of the required standards of the window will depend on the selected method.

How to Measure a window to install blinds on the sash

For this method is characterized by layering fabric curtains on the plastic surface of the frame on both sides, this is the stock will ensure a snug fit fabric and eliminate gaps, gaps that would look ugly in the street at night, and even partially would violate the confidentiality of private life.


    1. The width roll curtains, the blinds is determined by the distance between the slopes. 100 mm and more added to this indicator (if the side of the window has pipes or any elements that you want to close, then the canvas increases to the desired area);
    2. The length should be measured from the top slope to the windowsill or lower (as far as the canvas will be lower than the windowsill - is determined individually).
      Then, depending on the type of curtains, blinds extra centimeters added to the height of a "package" (the height of the blinds assembled).
      Package must be taken into account when installing blinds over the opening, and necessarily - in the opening. You need to make sure that the blinds in the assembled form will not prevent the opening of the window.
      For rolled curtains under the package, it is necessary to add 5 cm for aluminum horizontal - depending on the height of the blinds - see Table:

    When choosing the length of the canvas, the roll of the curtains should be taken into account the size of the window sill. With a wide windowsill, the lamellas are lowered to its surface, with a narrow - on an arbitrary level
    Tip: To make the canvas did not lay on the windowsill, but only good enough to it, measure the distance from the top slope to the window sill, and take 20 mm - this length will look most effectively.

    Please note for aluminum blinds there are restrictions for large windows:
    In height - not more than 3.4 m, in width - no more than 2, 85 m., Total maximum area is not more than 6 m.

    If the blinds will have to hide the windowsill, you need to take into account the magnitude of the eaves of the cornice along with the blinds. If the lengths are not enough, special lining rings are used, which are included in the set of blinds, or infirm materials.

    Do not forget to determine the altitude on which the control cord will be located - above the lower edge of the shutters 15cm.

    Measurement window when installing in the opening

    In this case, the size of the opening is desirable to reduce 1 cm for a more organic installation:
    From the width of minus 1 cm, from the height is 1 cm.

    Measure the window for vertical blinds


    Initially, determine the installation method. In all cases, it is recommended to install on the wall above the window, at a distance of at least 10 cm from the upper edge of the opening (in order to avoid the walls of the wall).
    Installation in the opening is also practiced, but in the event that the eaves of the blinds will not interfere with the opening of the window sash.

    When installing vertical blinds in the opening of the window, it is necessary to measure all sides of the opening - on the left and right (height), on top and bottom (width), we take smaller from the obtained values, if such a nonconformity in the wall panels takes place.
    Next, we subtract from the height and the width of 1 cm.

    To install over the opening, you need to add an 8-10 cm width on both sides, for high-quality closure of lumen.

Rolled curtains are a view of a fabric shading window that replaces ordinary curtains or blinds. They are chosen by adherents of minimalism in the interior, they complement the most different types of curtains, knowing how to measure rolled curtains correctly for the desired effect. Roll-type curtains require minimal amount of fabric and occupy little space, in addition require minimum care.

The general view of the window depends on the correct selection of the curtain. How to choose the right size of this type of curtain? What needs to be taken into account for the right choice? It would seem that small nuances, but they affect the form of the window as a whole, the functionality of all devices.

In order to find the required size of the rolled curtains, the dimensions of the window will need to measure. Conducting measurements, the width of the roll curtain is necessarily calculated. Length, in most cases, make standard - about 2 meters. This size should be missed for most standard modern designs.

For accurate measurements, it is necessary to take into account the following recommendations:

With the help of roulettes, we produce glass stamps in width and length (along the sash). The data obtained will define help determine the design that is suitable for the window. It is also necessary to measure the depth of the stroke. With a depth of 1.5 centimeters, the Curtain "Uni" will fit. With the size of less than 1.5 centimeters (and inclusive), you should stop the selection on the "Profil" or "Mini" system designs.

The overall width is a curtain width. Consequently, the size of the tube on which the roll fabric is attached and will be the desired parameter in the measurement of the curtain width.

Measurements of various types of curtains

In order to correctly measure the rolled curtains on plastic windows, it is necessary to study the features of each type of construction.

Classic

First of all, it is necessary to determine the type of installation work, and more precisely where classic rollers will be located: from the outside of the opening or inside the opening. The following values \u200b\u200bshould be obtained:

  1. Width (hereinafter - "B") from 0.5 to 3 m;
  2. Height (hereinafter - "H") from 0.5 to 3 m;
  3. Length (hereinafter "L") control from 0.27 m and above (the maximum value is not set). The size of the control length should not exceed 2/3 of the total length of the curtains in the assembled form.

Outdoor installation

For outdoor installation, the following actions will be required:

  1. Measure b.
  2. Depending on the edge of the windowsill changes H. For the internal location of the window sill, the numbers may be at discretion.
  3. b Curtains minus 4 centimeters \u003d B canvas.
  4. If the installation occurs directly to the wall, the border from the ceiling to fastening should be from 7 centimeters.

Internal installation

For the inner view of the attachment (in the opening), the following measurements are taken into account:

  1. To calculate the B canvas, it is necessary to calculate the difference between the doubled interval from the bracket and the bevel from the side to the b of the opening hole. The value should not exceed 5 centimeters.

Cassette curtain

Among the cassette species, the roller is distinguished by Uni-1, Uni-2, mini.

Uni-1

  1. To calculate B, the distance in the vertical position between the stroke ribs is measured. The accuracy of measurements is up to the hundredth centimeters.
  2. H is the distance between the ribs in the horizontal position. The side to regulate the degree of opening of the product is selected arbitrarily. Level H is an individual value of 2/3 of the total length of the curtains.
  3. Un-1 after installation should be established between the edges of the stroke.

Uni-2.

When performing overall measurements, the wish of the customer and the features of the window frame are taken into account. The location of the fittings (handles or loops) is also important.

  1. For the value of B, take into account the distance between the ribs of the flavored. 6.8 centimeters are added to it.
  2. The distance between the external parts of the design should be less than a couple of centimeters (from 0.25 to 1.2 m).
  3. N for this design is the distance between the lower and upper point of the system plug (from 0.2 m to 1.5 m).

Mini

In the mini design, the mini curtain installation occurs 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 headquarters and fasteners. All other calculations are similar. The side of the control device is selected arbitrarily. The chain for winding the tissue to the pipe is considered as 2/3 of H.

The latch for the lower cornice is placed when the window sash has a swivel-folding mechanism. Due to this, when conducting, the folding flaps will not hang over the windowsill.

The latch for the lower cornice has two types of fastening:

  1. magnetic, in which magnets are installed on screws;
  2. brackets on the fishing line.

Methods for fastening upper cornice:

  1. screws;
  2. on bilateral scotch;
  3. on the suspended brackets - for the sash.

Measures for Roller Mini. The first thing is measured the width and height of the glass (before the sash). 3 centimeters for width and 12 for height are added to the numbers. Next, the location of the control mechanism is determined. Better, if he is near the loop. Next, the method of fastening (screws or bilateral tape) is selected.

Mini curtains are installed only on the sash.

Uni

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

UNI-1

Type is suitable for different windows, with different constructive features. Very popular in modern design. The color gamut box is easily selected by the color of the frame, creating visual integrity. Standard size - 200 × 175.

To select this type, it is required to produce the following measurements:

  1. 2 centimeters for stock are added to the height between the stroke ribs.
  2. Width is measured in a similar way without incubations.

The curtain of this type has one minus - the bottom plank is running about the glass, which leads to the appearance of bevels and even the gaps. Especially this minus is manifested at a stroke of 2 cm.

UNI-2

This type is the most acceptable and universal. Mounted almost on any surface with different relief. If the depth depth is more than 2 cm, then this option will be the most acceptable. The device of the Uni-2 curtains have guides in the form of the letter "P", which provides a clear fixation and no friction. The probability of the appearance of gaps and beeps is extremely small.

Meat rolled curtains for selecting size:

The width must be measured by external dimensions of the guide curtains. To calculate the desired height, the value of external dimensions is folded with the height of the box (about 7 cm). The most recommended value by experts from 1 to 2 centimeters, since in the case of the tolerance of the error you can cut unnecessary by removing the plugs from the pipe.

Profil.

Before purchasing the system, the profile should be measured:

  1. b between sash corners.
  2. h, taking into account the size of the glass, the sash that should open.

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

Day Night

Rolled curtains can be installed in various ways. There are outdoor and inner fastening, fastening on the frame.

Required measurements for each method:

  1. For outdoor installation, B is measured and 15 centimeters are added to it. In the dimension H to the size of the opening, plus 15 centimeters is added.
  2. For internal mounting, it is necessary to make measurements at three points H and B. For height, the smallest values \u200b\u200bare suitable. If the angular slopes, the mark is the place of attachment of the canvas. For b from the measured value, 5 millimeters are torn, and H remains unchanged.
  3. The fastening on the frame is carried out by measuring B by the stroke and H frame. The minimum distance from the fabric and handles should not exceed centimeters. Marks are made directly on the product.

Summing up

Each missing or extra centimeter can spoil the appearance of the product and the room as a whole. Therefore, before measuring the rolled curtains on plastic windows do not rush in their actions.
