Pros and cons of round or semicircular cornices

Despite the fact that modern manufacturers offer different options for hanging curtains on windows, a round curtain rod for curtains remains the most popular and in demand. It is a simple design that consists of a fastener and a round bar. Curtains are hung on the bar using rings or eyelets.

It is important to choose correctly not only the color and design of the curtains themselves, but also the option of their fastening.

It is no coincidence that this method remains popular for many centuries, since it has many advantages:

  • Easy to install
  • Classic, stylish design
  • Easy to hang curtains
  • The ability to easily change or remove curtains
  • Reliability of construction
  • Suitable for any room
  • Easy to care for and clean

This type of mount will fit any ceiling or wall. It can be easily attached to the wall with a stretch ceiling. On the contrary, if the walls do not allow for fastening heavy objects, then the device can be easily installed on the ceiling using rods. This type of attachment can easily withstand children hanging on the curtains or a cat climbing on the curtains.

One of the more traditional classic window decoration options is the use of a curtain rod on a round bar.

The disadvantages of this type of hanging curtains are its large size and the inability to hide the bar behind a curtain tape or a lambrequin. In addition, this design visually reduces the height of the ceiling and window.

Varieties of round cornices

Round cornices, just like any others, differ in different parameters:

  • Window mount type
  • Curtain hanging method
  • Manufacturing material
  • Constructions

Over the many years of their existence, they practically have not changed externally and at the same time have not lost their popularity and relevance at all.

The mounting type can be wall or ceiling. It depends on where it is more convenient to attach the product. If a stretch ceiling is provided in the room, then the bar is attached to the wall. If the wall is rather weak or, conversely, too strong, then it is better to choose the installation on the ceiling. Another option for installing the device is to the window frame. This method is usually used in rural or country houses, where not full-fledged curtains are hung on the window, but small curtains.

An important role is played by the convenience and simplicity of round cornices.

Curtains or curtains are hung from this device in two ways:

  • On large circular rings, which in turn are attached to the fabric. This is the easiest way, rings are often sold in a set with a barbell.
  • With eyelets. Round holes are cut in the curtain, slightly larger than the cross-section of the bar. The holes are framed with metal rings or simply sheathed.
  • On fabric hinges. They are made from the same fabric as the curtains and are sewn to them. Such products are initially sewn with this type of fastening.
  • To the drawstring.It is sewn into the curtain from the back. The size of the drawstring should be slightly larger than the diameter of the rod. In this case, the bar will be hidden, and the curtain will have beautiful ruffles upward, which will replace the lambrequin.

Usually such products are made of wood, metal or even plastic. The design also depends on the type of material. Metal products are more suitable for high-tech interiors and stretch ceilings. And wooden models will look perfect in a country house.

Advice. Wooden products should not be installed in rooms with high humidity. Over time, the tree may deform and the fastening will weaken.

Designs are double-row and single-row. The simplest option is a single row, which is a single barbell. Such models are used in the bathroom for hanging curtains, on cots, on semicircular windows. Rounded wall curtain rods are hung in radius bay windows, semicircular ledges of rooms or in arches.

The material for the manufacture of the rod can be plastic, metal and even wood.

A more complex option is a two-row mount. This model has two rods on which curtains and tulle are attached.

How to properly attach such cornices

Fastening round curtain rods is very simple. Usually, special brackets are supplied with the product. They can be mounted both to the ceiling and to the wall. However, before buying, it is important to find out what type of bracket the selected model has.

Due to the variety of materials, the color gamut of products is very wide.

The number of brackets depends on the length of the boom and the window. Up to 2.4 meters long, two brackets are required. If the length is longer, then another bracket is needed. It is installed in the middle to avoid deflection of the bar.

Round models are fixed above the window using special brackets.

Several brackets are also used for rounded curtain wall curtain rods that are placed in bay windows or arches. Here, the number of brackets depends on the bending radius and on how much the crossbar itself needs to be rounded.

Application in the interior

The design of such products can be very striking. The variety of external types of products is limited only by the imagination of manufacturers.

Massive wooden models with graceful limiters at the edges are suitable for pompous, classic rooms. In living rooms with a classic interior, metal products with forged ornate tips also look exquisite.
