Definition and calculation
The following procedures are performed:
- Find out the party to establish the chain of command.
- Make markings and attach the brackets to the frame.
More often, the mechanism is located on the side of the bracket with a hexagonal protrusion.
- When it is known where the first bracket will be located, the locations for the holes are marked. They can be drilled out with a thin drill. After installation, tighten the screws slightly, aligning the shaft horizontally using a building level.
- Measure points for the second bracket.
- Determine the midpoint of the window frame and mark it on the ceiling. In this case, a test square is used.
General procedure
- On the sides, set aside from the middle pieces equal to the length of half the frame.
- The thickness of the brackets is subtracted from the total width. Usually it is about 0.2x0.4 cm.
- The required length of the shaft is sawed off. The excess is sawed off.
- Install a plug with a protrusion on the shaft.
- The same length of the bottom rail is sawed off.
- Spread the fabric on a flat surface. Make markings along the bottom rail.
- The fabric is cut using a sharp knife or scissors.

Installation procedure
1.1. Unpack the blinds by carefully cutting the packaging sleeve. Be careful with cutting objects that may damage the product. Unwind the chain of command.
1.2. If the product has a side fixation, then before installation it is necessary to tie a knot at one end of the fishing line. Thread the end of the fishing line with the knot into the upper (or lower) rectangular hole of the bracket. After installation, the assembly should be clamped between the bracket plane and the frame (tape platform or throw-on bracket). Perform this operation with another fishing line. Note: To install the line in a fully closed state, a minimum of 2.5 cm of height must be provided under the bottom bar of the finished product to install the bottom bracket.

How to attach roller blinds with guides to plastic windows
Models with guides are products equipped with plastic or string structures that facilitate a tighter fit of the canvas to the surface of the window. The structures can be of an open type, when the shaft with the canvas is in sight. Products with a box are supplemented with a cassette that covers a tube with wound fabric.
You can install blinds using self-tapping screws or special tape. Attach the brackets to the surface of the frame or into the opening in the chosen way, insert the base with the canvas, fix the guides, install the box (if there is one).

Sequencing
Roller blinds consist of a bracket, a control mechanism, a control chain limiter, a bracket area for fixing curtains, and grips.
Some products are equipped with an additional system for fixing curtains, used for opening windows. First assemble the bracket. To do this, you will need to fix its constituent elements.
Assembly diagram for roller blinds bracket.
Double-sided tape is glued to the bracket. If installation work is carried out using self-tapping screws, then a platform is not required. The brackets are connected to the platforms until it clicks. To fix the parameters of the product, the structure is assembled on the windowsill.
Then it is applied to the window sash. Use a pencil to mark the location of the right and left pads. The next step involves the final gluing of the platform to the sash.
Before carrying out this procedure, the surface is degreased. To do this, use alcohol or gasoline for lighters. Double-sided tape can only be applied once.
If the right bracket is fixed, put the shaft on it. The fabric is wound on the last unit. The left bracket is attached to the structure.
Make a mark of the location of the corresponding site. The left bracket is disconnected from the platform. The last element is glued to the window profile taking into account the marks made.
The shaft is inserted into the right bracket. The left analogue is fixed. The curtain comes down.
The location of the magnetic clamp will need to be marked with a pencil. The curtain is attached to the sash taking into account the width of the fabric. If necessary, a specialist can take measurements.
Return to contents
Roller blinds of various systems, including Mini, are supplied unassembled without a frame. The assembly of such a system begins with cutting the packaging and studying the instructions. The fishing line is threaded through the holes provided in the corners.
Double knots are made at the ends of the fishing line. The line is cut in half. The capsules are inserted into the curtain shaft and snapped into the corners.
Subsequent assembly is carried out simultaneously with the installation of the entire structure. There are several methods for attaching the product in question.
If roller blinds are installed on the sash of a window opening, there is minimal loss of usable space.

Initially, you will need to measure the product.
Roller blinds are presented in the form of a simple design. The fabric is wound onto a shaft.
The device has a special mechanism for lowering and raising curtains without a box. If such products are made to order, then the canvas does not need to be adjusted. Otherwise, the curtains are cut.
To do this you will need to take measurements.
The length of the rolled web is understood as the distance between the outer edges of the horizontal beads, and the width is the distance between the corresponding vertical elements. The canvas is unrolled and removed from the shaft. A plug with a projection is mounted on the shaft.
Roller blinds are laid out on a flat surface. The required width is measured on the product and a mark is made.
Curtains can be cut using scissors or a construction knife. The next step involves fixing them to the shaft. First you will need to remove the protective film from the surface of the last element.
The upper edge of the product is bent upward by 5 cm. The shaft is placed in a niche with the strip facing up. The 1st element is installed in a horizontal position.
The shaft is rolled onto a short belt. The main thing is that the roller blinds do not warp.
Self-adhesive tape is pressed against the canvas. Curtains are rolled up 3/4 of their length. The bottom is inserted into the corresponding rail.
The product is ready for use. If the canvas needs to be cut to length, then similar actions are performed at the top. This will require making a hole for the bottom beam.
Choosing the style and quality of products based on taste will tell you how to assemble roller blinds correctly. They can be fixed to window openings or the ceiling. In any case, there are certain stages of work.

How to attach roller blinds with fishing line:
- Connect the grooves and holders.
- Insert the strings into the bottom holes of the holders.
- Glue the grooves to the frame or mount them with self-tapping screws.
- Install a chain mechanism on the tube with the blade and install plugs.
- Fix the shaft in the brackets.
- Attach line tension devices to the bottom of the sash.
- Pull the strings, press them with clamps.

Installation features
Before installing day-night curtains with fishing line, it is important to choose the appropriate model and take all the necessary measurements. It is better to do installation with the help of specialists, rather than on your own.
Before installing day-night roller blinds with fishing line, you need to choose a method for this. Installation is possible using self-tapping screws, brackets and special tape. The choice depends on the type of window opening. The first two are suitable for inclined windows and openings in the ceiling, also for frames with sashes. Installation using adhesive tape is possible for ordinary vertical openings.
Which folding mechanism to choose
Manufacturers of window accessories typically offer standard systems that include manual chain mechanisms, or more innovative automated systems. The latter are somewhat burdensome for the pocket, so there is a “Solomon solution” - semi-automatic roller shutters.
Gradually, a spring mechanism is gaining more and more popularity, which allows you to adjust the level of installation of the canvas with one pull. This system is especially suitable for families with small children because it does not expose them to the risk of injury from the sudden lowering of the roller shutter or chain. The “smart” system is characterized by ease of installation in two stages. Installation of a self-folding mechanism allows you to quickly open the window towards the light without causing any noise.
Taking measurements for cassette curtains
This type requires careful measurements, since the canvas will be installed in the opening. Pay attention to the shape of the beads securing the glass unit:
- Glazing beads with right angles indicate that you will need to measure the height and width of the glass between them;
- The beveled version involves measuring a larger distance between the beads.
Taking measurements for mini-cassette curtains
For class UNI 1, the glass size is calculated without taking into account beads.
When taking measurements from type UNI 2, data is taken on the sum of measurements from the glass and the width of the beads.
Additional Information
Such devices must be kept clean. The housewife's dust is removed with a vacuum cleaner at low power or with a steam generator. To wash, it is recommended to rinse in the shower, unfolding the fabric in a horizontal position, or clean with a natural-based stain remover. As a last resort, there is also dry cleaning.
When cleaning the fabric, try not to rub or press too hard on the fabric.
User manual
- Movements are made without jerking, smoothly.
- Do not touch the fabric with wet hands.
- Do not hang products near radiators or stoves.
- If the mechanism jams, experts advise lubricating it thoroughly.
