Is it necessary to hire an expert to install blinds?
Professional blind installation is a prerequisite for its functionality. If the installation is not done professionally, it can lead to the shutters not closing properly, which can be inadequate protection against burglars, and it can also damage the facade, in which case moisture gets into the wall. Therefore, it is not recommended to install the blinds yourself. In case of damage, you will not be entitled to any warranty, as well as in case of improper assembly. That is why we suggest that you post the required service on bellcom.rs and wait for offers from local companies/artisans.
Why is installing blinds important for your home?
With the help of blinds, we can regulate the amount of sound, light and heat that will enter through the windows, and in addition to protecting the windows and our space from external influences – ALU AND PVC blinds also reliably protect us from prying eyes. Installation of blinds is done on all types of carpentry, whether it is PVC and aluminum carpentry or wooden carpentry, and terrace blinds are a special type of protection and solution for living and working spaces. Depending on the color and dimensions of the existing PVC and aluminum joinery, you can also choose blinds in different widths, heights and colors, and depending on the type of material – plastic and aluminum are different, that is. ALU AND PVC blinds. If you want blinds for the terrace, the more suitable variant is ALU blinds, because they are more resistant and last longer, and they can also provide protection against burglars.
Installation of external blinds
Installation of blinds If PVC and aluminum carpentry has already been done and there is no space for blinds, and you subsequently decided to install them, external blinds are a suitable choice. The price for them depends on various factors, and the advantage is that you don”t have to plan them in advance, considering that blinds are installed on windows and doors that have been installed in advance. In the case of external blinds, the box is placed from the outside and has a rounded shape, while the drive elements are inserted inside in such a way that holes are drilled in the upper corners of the window in order to connect the internal and external elements. With external blinds installed in this way, the price is determined depending on whether you choose PVC or aluminum blinds.
Installation of internal blinds
Regardless of your choice, PVC or aluminum carpentry, for internal blinds it is important to know that they are installed together with the window from the upper side, so the installation of the blinds must be planned and leave enough space for mounting the box for the blind that is placed on the window. This box has a protective function, i.e. it must prevent the entry of air from the outside, so it contains thermal insulation, mostly made of styrofoam. If you want to have internal blinds, the advantage is that you don”t have to decide on the same type of internal blinds for each window, but the installation procedure is such that first the box is attached to the window, then the guides, and then they are fastened together with screws to the selected carpentry. That is why this type of blind is suitable only when it comes to new PVC and aluminum joinery or if you want to replace old windows, and you have left enough space for the box above the window (otherwise, the space provided for the window will be shortened by the height of the box).
What materials are used for blinds?
Blinds can be in an inner or outer box and can be made of PVC, plastic sheet or aluminum. Blinds in the outer box are usually installed on already existing windows, and can also be installed on new ones when installing or replacing old ones, while blinds in the inner box can only be installed when installing new ones or replacing existing ones. The slats can be made of PVC or aluminum. The guides can be made of plasticized steel, PVC or aluminum.
What should be considered when installing blinds?
It is important that the correct distance between the shutter and the wall or window is taken into account in all the different stages. This means that you should look at the shutter in the open, closed and semi-closed positions before and during installation to choose the correct distance. The distance to the wall can be corrected by adjusting the screwing depth of the piston. Also, keep in mind that you don”t want to disturb the window itself. It should be able to open even after the shutter is installed. Attach the blinds first, and finally assemble the lock and all hinges and shutter holders.
