More about species.

Baguette

They are classified as flat. They can have a width of 6 to 10 cm. There are 1, 2, 3 stripes.

Such cornices are attached in different ways - to the wall or ceiling. A plastic splint is usually covered with drawstrings or lambrequins (with or without Velcro).

The cost of such cornices cannot be called high. The main purpose of this type of attachment is functionality. It holds curtains and window decorations. The most popular is white plastic, but there are other colors as well.

Profile

Such products are made from aluminum or durable, but light enough plastic. The kit usually contains both fasteners and accessories. This makes the assembly and installation process easier. The number of guides can be very different. It all depends only on the wishes of the buyer.

There are several types of eaves from the profile:

• single (I profile) - Roman blinds, roller blinds, light textiles;
• double (KS profile) - for thin curtains and curtains made of thicker fabric;
• three-row (CKS profile) - for complex solutions (installing lambrequins, choosing a shape for an arch, bay window, etc.);
• slip - a profile from one track with runners for thin, light fabrics.

Such curtain rods are very popular as there are solutions for different types of windows. In addition, they can be equipped with an electric drive or a cord - a rope with which the curtains can be moved.

Telescopic or spacer

The mechanism of this type of cornice is not complicated. One tube is inserted into another - with a larger section and with a spring inside. There is a rubber tip on each end. Such a cornice is fastened by gradually unscrewing a pipe with a smaller section until it stops. Products are made from the following materials: metal, wood, plastic.

Pros:

1. Quick installation without tools.
2. Cheapness.
3. Suitable for different styles.
4. Low weight.

But there are also arguments against:

1. More suitable for small spaces.
2. Keeps a small (relatively) weight.
3. Requires precision during installation.

Swivel

This model got its name from the shape with a bend, the radius of which can be very different, up to a semicircle. Often this type of cornice is made to order so that the bending radius ideally matches the shape of the opening. Swivel cornices are relevant for decorating balconies, niches, bay windows.

Another option is a straight model, but has rounded edges on both sides. Such a solution visually enlarges the window. The curtains can be moved so that light can freely enter the room. Such a cornice is often installed in bedrooms and living rooms with narrow small windows, and canopy can be decorated with it.

For roman blinds

Roman blinds are distinguished by their simplicity and conciseness, they are good for rooms designed in a minimalist style.

Arguments for":

• functionality;
• aesthetics;
• practicality;
• stylistic feature.

Cornices for this type are very popular and are sold in any hardware store.

There are three types:

1. Mini.
2. Classical.
3. Beveled.

Roman blinds are a great solution for decorating a kitchen window or what is in a children's room. In addition, they will be quite appropriate on windows in offices and offices, in public buildings, where there is a high traffic of people.

Mini-cornices "cafe"

Small cornices are convenient for opening openings or small windows. There are many such models, but a separate category stands out - a series of "cafes". They are installed in a special way and thus give the room a unique stylistic image. The main feature of the "cafe" cornices is the installation of a small cornice directly in the window or doorways.

The disadvantage of decorating windows in this way is the ability to use only single light curtains. And the main advantage is compactness. The upper open part of the frame is sufficient for the penetration of sunlight, and the lower part, with the curtains closed, protects the room from onlookers from the street.

Round

The traditional round cornice was and remains the most popular, convenient and reliable. Basically, it is a horizontal bar that is held in place by brackets. Round cornices can be decorated with curtains much more interesting than ceiling structures. This allows you to use them to embody interesting design ideas.

Fastening curtains to the wall with their help visually "land" a room with high ceilings. The materials for the manufacture of such curtain rods are: metal, plastic and wood. Plastic ones are lightweight, but only weightless fabrics can be hung on them. An important advantage of round metal or wood curtain rods is that they hold heavy fabrics perfectly. Ceiling cornices do not always cope with this.

Attach round curtain rods can be easily attached to any wall. The installation of such structures is not particularly difficult, so they can be easily installed without the help of a wizard. When installing on the ceiling, it is advisable to avoid options with tension, tiered or suspended structures.

Strings

Recently, string cornices have become especially popular. They are mounted both on the wall and on the ceiling. The main feature is in the design.

The parts of the string cornice are as follows:

• steel string;
• brackets;
• clothespins or hooks.

String cornices can be attached to ceilings and walls.

Installation options for walls are as follows:

• directly;
• between opposite ones (a screen is created);
• at the corner.

The string is sometimes up to 5 meters long, and this is not even the limit. The threads can be arranged in several parallel rows, which then allows you to create interesting combinations of fabrics in curtains.

Tire

Such cornices are also called rail cornices. They are very convenient because they can be fixed to a wall or ceiling. The hanger is essentially a panel with grooves (tracks) into which hooks are inserted for hanging the canvases. Brackets are required for wall mounting. Ceiling models are held in place with dowels. Additional inserts in the form of corners or rounds allow you to create a wide variety of shapes.

No gap is created between such an attachment and the surface. This visually enlarges the space. The only drawback is the curtain weight limitation. The plastic, although strong enough, is not designed for too heavy curtains.

Which cornices are better to choose for a house or apartment

The basic rules for choosing a cornice are as follows:

• determination of the appearance and quality of curtain fabrics;
• if necessary, carrying out preparatory work before installing the fasteners;
• choice of style and dimensions of the cornice;
• search for the required model.

The basics of installing curtain rods

When choosing a specific model, you need to consider:

• the material of the cornice itself;
• design features;
• type of mounting plates.

The latter are of two types.

Single point

One hole is located in the center of the part. The main thing is to choose the right dowel that can support the structure even if it is fixed to the hollow base.

Three-point

The best way to install eaves to a wooden or concrete wall. When the base has a porous structure, such plates are not always suitable (walls made of aerated concrete blocks). Especially if the holes in them are located next to each other. In such a situation, the solution will be the following: the dowel is screwed into only one - the upper hole, the rest are "set" on self-tapping screws.

Mounting

Tools - their number depends on the selected type of cornice:

• roulette;
• pencil;
• drill or hammer drill;
• fastening materials (screws and dowels, brackets);
• level;
• screwdriver.

Assembly stages.

1. The structure is assembled into a finished product - instructions for help.
2. Marking is applied on the wall, the level "dances" from the ceiling line.
3. Mark the middle of the window opening.
4. From the center, the segments are measured to the places where the brackets are installed.
5. Holes are drilled.
6. Dowels are hammered in.
7. Install the brackets.
8. Hang a cornice with rings.

You can hang curtains.
