Samples of our time create the basis for the embodiment of decor ideas in a real environment. To understand how blinds are arranged, you can study the following.
Spring-inertial mechanism of blinds.Any type of blinds are lamellas, that is, thin slats, plates of various materials. Textiles, plastic, wood, metal are often used as such a base.

Vertical Blinds
Constructions of this type perform several functions. As a result, the room acquires a pleasant soft semi-darkness. Such soft diffused light is created by adjusting the slats.
Installation of horizontal interframe blinds.How are vertical blinds constructed? They are made up of several parts: a runner, a cornice, a control chain, slats and a rope. The cornice is the main element to which the slats are attached. Most often, they are made of aluminum or plastic. However, the latter option can cause such problems as deflections, deformations and failure of the entire device. In addition, plastic can turn yellow, get dirty and lose strength over time. Therefore, occasionally, at least once a year, the cornice guides should be lubricated with silicone grease. Vertical blinds can last for different amounts of time. This depends on the following factors:

Some features of the device
To understand exactly how blinds work, it is important to look at their structure.
Pleated blinds.So, the runners are elements that actively move along the cornice. They contribute to the fact that the panels actively move along the cornice. This part of the mechanism is made of plastic. When purchasing such a device, it is important to be extremely careful: be sure to examine the external data for the presence or absence of burrs. After all, even this insignificant detail can have a significant impact on the operation of the entire device. Therefore, special attention should be paid to quality indicators. The slats at the bottom are connected by a common chain. Most often, fabric samples have a plastic part on a fishing line. These elements are very strong, dust is almost invisible on them. You can see chains made of metal and plastic. Naturally, they will be heavy and have a higher price. To give the blinds a smooth and durable base, weights are installed. They weigh down light devices and support the shape of the canvas.
Measuring roller blinds.On the side of the cornice you can see a chain that helps to control the mechanism. It makes a 180° turn. Modern chains are made of plastic. The control thread moves the slats in a straight line. Basically, it also has a plastic base. Such devices have rollers, a rotary axis, a rotary mechanism, cords that regulate the movement, plugs in their design. The peculiarity of the slats. In the selected devices, this part can have a wide and narrow base of 98 mm and 127 mm. Blinds with narrow slats are suitable for small windows, and wide bases will correspond to voluminous openings.
