Many people have imagined a scene like this: when the sky is full of stars, serving a cup of hot milk, standing with her staring at the window. The breeze blew the veil curtains, how romantic.
However, in actual decoration, the selection and installation of curtains are really a headache. In order to let everyone avoid detours and regret decoration, let’s talk about curtain-related knowledge. This is the experience we have accumulated during the construction process for many years, which you will encounter in the decoration.
Curtain Box and Roman Rod
The custom cycle of curtains is generally about 10-15 days. Therefore, it is recommended that you buy curtains when installing the floor, measure the curtains after the floor is finished, and install the curtains before entering the furniture after the first cleaning.
There are two main ways to install curtains, curtain boxes and Roman rods. The curtain box is where the decorator makes a slot in the place where the curtain is installed, and hangs the curtain into the rail.
Roman rods are horizontal rods for hanging curtains, usually with decorative patterns on both ends.
In home decoration, if you plan to install a curtain box, you must leave enough width. If you install double curtains, you must leave a distance of 20 cm between the two curtains. If the space is too small, the two curtains will rub and fight in the future. If you only install single-layer curtains in your home, leave a distance of 10-15 cm in the width direction and keep the depth at 10-15 cm.
Owners who need to install aluminum gussets and curtain boxes on the balcony at the same time, please note: be sure to let the master make an ultra-thin ceiling for you, and the distance between the aluminum gussets and the top wall should not exceed five centimeters. If it is less than five centimeters, the curtain will be much stronger; if it is more than five centimeters, be sure to ask the master to install a wooden keel for you, and put a small mark on the surface of the aluminum buckle with the keel to facilitate the curtain construction.
These data must be communicated with the decoration foreman, because this curtain box is installed by the decoration company.
The curtain box was very popular a few years ago, but most owners like to make a curtain head, otherwise the curtain box will be bald if it is directly installed with the curtain. But the cost of installing curtain heads is generally high.
Let’s take a look at the effect pictures of two curtain boxes. The first one is the effect without a curtain head, and the second one is the effect with a curtain head.If you do not install the curtain box, you can also install the Roman rod directly, and save a part of the silver. Installing a Roman rod can make your room have a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and it looks tall and atmospheric, so now the limelight is gradually overshadowing the curtain box.
Curtain Rod
Curtain rods usually come in 3 materials: aluminum alloy, steel tube coated with plastic and solid wood. The southern climate is humid and solid wood is more practical; while the northern climate is dry, solid wood is prone to cracking and deformation, so it is less used. Therefore, in the past, the northern curtain rod market was dominated by aluminum alloy materials and steel tube plastic materials.
The plastic-coated steel tube has a beautiful appearance and can be matched according to the color of the window frame, but it has many shortcomings. For example, the plastic film wrapped on the steel pipe will rub and fluff after being used for a long time, and the curtain will not be able to be pulled. Many customers are also complaining about this.
The most commonly used in the market now is the aluminum alloy electroplated paint rod. Its paint surface is smooth, pulling smoothly, and has a good mute effect. The paint surface will not fall off after more than ten years, so it has occupied the northern market. However, the aluminum alloy material is soft, and some curtain fabrics are too heavy, and the curtain rod is easy to fall and deform. Therefore, you must choose a thicker wall when purchasing, not too thin.
Owners who install broken aluminum doors and windows on balconies, please note: the distance between the upper edge of the broken aluminum doors and windows and the top should not be less than five centimeters, so that it is convenient to install the track. If the distance is too small, you can only use a small track, which may not be strong enough. Some people even find that there is no curtain track after the doors and windows are installed. Once the track is installed, the window will get stuck and cannot be opened at all. So everyone must communicate well with the door and window owner to avoid leaving regrets.
Curtain Hanging
How many ways are there to hang curtains? There are only two types, one is a hook and the other is a hole-piercing ring.
What is hooking? It refers to the pleats that are kneaded according to the proportion of the cloth. When hanging, one end is inserted into the pleats with a hook, and the other end is hung on the curtain rod. The curtain rod has a loop, and the hook can be hooked on the loop.
So what is punching and piercing? Just make a hole in the cloth the same size as the circle, and buckle the circle directly on the cloth. This kind of ring can be washed directly in the washing machine.
