Varieties of roller blinds Inspire
Inspire roller blinds come in several types, the choice depends on the functions that the curtains should perform. For southern and western windows, it is important that sunlight and heat do not penetrate inside; for northern and eastern windows, this requirement is relevant only in the morning hours. The rest of the time, decorativeness and combination with the interior come to the fore.
Day Night
These roller blinds are designed for sunny environments.Alternating dark and transparent stripes on the canvas allow you to independently adjust the amount of light entering the room during the day. This technology dissipates it well and allows you to dim it if necessary. At night, they close tightly and do not let the rays outside.
Day-night curtains are suitable for:
- southern windows;
- cabinets;
- classrooms.
This is an excellent solution for rooms in which it is necessary to deal with excess sunlight.
Blackout
Inspire blackout curtains are designed to completely cut off light from outside. It is customary to hang them in bedrooms and children's rooms. The darkness that descends into the room when the curtains are closed contributes to a deeper and more sound sleep, which has a positive effect on the general condition of the body, increases efficiency and mood.
The blackout canvas consists of three layers:
- the first reflects sunlight;
- the second must keep fit;
- the third is applied for decoration, it can be of different colors, with patterns and decorations.
Blackout curtains can fully fulfill their function only if they fit snugly to the window frame. If there are gaps between the fabric and the plastic, sunlight will penetrate through them. Most will still be cut off, but complete darkness cannot be achieved. To achieve a snug fit, additional guides are used.
How to properly install such curtains on windows
Inspire roller blinds are designed for self-installation without drilling. The kit includes a schematic instruction and the necessary fasteners, plugs and mechanisms.
To install them correctly, you must:
- Study the instructions.
- Attach the brackets to the window frame or wall, depending on the type of installation. To do this, you can use the double-sided tape included or screw them onto the screws.
- Place the chain mechanism of rotation inside the tube with the canvas.
- On the other side of the tube, attach the plastic tip.
- Fasten the mechanism to the brackets, fix it.
Additionally, you can use guides, they can be plastic or made of fishing line. They are necessary for opening windows, since during vertical ventilation, the canvases hang down and slam against the frame from the wind. For canvases that will cover the entire window opening, this is not relevant, since they do not come into contact with the glass.
Inspire roller blinds are a comfortable and modern solution for any interior. They do an excellent job of darkening the room, while not hiding the space and retaining the feeling of the airiness of the space. If desired, the window can be additionally decorated with light tulle or curtains.
For rooms with an excess of sunlight, you can choose your own curtain models. This can be a day-night option, in which you can independently choose the degree of light diffusion in the daytime, or blackout. The second option is designed to completely cut off sunlight, shop windows and headlights that can penetrate into the room.
In addition to functionality, Inspire can offer a variety of curtain designs and colors. A large selection will help you choose an option for any interior.
Despite all the advantages of such curtains, we must not forget about some of the disadvantages. Incomplete adherence to the glass will be especially noticeable with the blackout option, since light will penetrate into the formed slots, it will not be possible to achieve complete darkening.Also, the mounts that come with the curtain may not fit blind windows. These problems are easily solved with the purchase of additional guides and fastening the blade not to double tape, but using a screwdriver.
