Design of Roman curtains
Roman blinds are flat sheets of fabric,fixed to the cornice. When raised, the canvas folds into even horizontal folds. For this purpose, rings and control rods are fixed on the reverse side at the same distance from each other. Cords or chains are threaded through the rings, which provide lifting. A weight is sewn into the lower part of the canvas. It helps it to maintain its shape when open. When opening or closing, the canvas can be stopped at any level. There are two types of Roman blinds: classic and cascade. The difference between the cascade type is that even after full opening, folds remain on the canvas, forming draperies. Roman blinds can decorate a window in any room: kitchen, nursery, bedroom. They can be fixed on one or more sashes or on the entire window. They can be used independently or in combination with light curtains. Installing curtains allows you to not only protect yourself from bright light, but also makes it possible to regulate the level of lighting in the room. Return to contents</a>

Cornice for Roman blinds.There are several ways to install curtains. Using a special cornice is considered the most correct installation option. A cornice is an aluminum profile with a built-in lifting mechanism and control unit. As a rule, the product is purchased complete with a ready-made cornice. The curtains can be controlled mechanically or remotely using an electric drive. There are three types of cornices for installing Roman blinds: mini, classic and bevel. The mini design is used to install small straight curtains. It is fixed directly to the window frame. The standard option is the classic. It is used for curtains measuring 1.5 x 1.8 m.

One half is attached to the curtain rod, and the other to the curtain. This device is suitable for curtain rods of any design.

This installation method will not cause any difficulties and can be done independently.

If you do not want to drill the frame, but need to install curtains, then you can fix them above the frame at the top of the window opening. In addition, Roman blinds can be fixed as traditional curtains on the wall above the window. To install Roman blinds, you can do without drilling holes. In this case, you will need double-sided tape. One side is attached to the frame, and the other - to the bar that will hold the canvas itself.
