We install blinds on plastic windows with our own hands. Mounting blinds on windows: instructions with and without drilling Do-it-yourself vertical blinds installation

After you, most likely, you will immediately have a question about the need to install blinds. In most cases, blinds are not just an element of window decor - they are a means of protection from the sun, it is about blinds that we want to tell you today, telling about their advantages, types and methods of installation with our own hands.

Should blinds be installed on windows?

Many people like blinds because of their beauty, because there are several types of them, which we will talk about a little later. With the help of blinds, you can visually decorate the window, especially by using blinds of a certain color or with different patterns, which will fit wonderfully into the interior of the room, and also transform the window "thematically". Many prefer blinds, because they can be used to replace curtains and curtains that many are already tired of.

As for the need for blinds, they help protect from the sun's rays. If your windows face east, south or west, then in summer you will be very uncomfortable with direct sunlight.

Firstly, due to direct sunlight, the air temperature in the room rises significantly. By installing blinds, the temperature in the room will be several degrees lower, as they will prevent direct sunlight from entering. In addition, blinds are necessary if you have air conditioning installed, otherwise it will take longer to cool the air in the room, and the temperature will be quickly lost. Therefore, in order not to force the air conditioner to work unnecessarily, it is necessary to install blinds.

Secondly, due to direct sunlight in the room it becomes very bright and this causes discomfort, especially for those whose windows face the east side, when the sun begins to shine in the eyes in the early morning. Also, blinds are necessary if you have a not very beautiful landscape outside your window - the blinds will hide all this beautifully. Well, another small positive thing about blinds is that they close the room from the sun's rays, so furniture, paint, wallpaper and window profiles from the inside are less prone to fading.

Types of blinds

• Horizontal;


• vertical;


• Fabric.

• Aluminum;


• Plastic;


• Wood;


• Textile;


• Bamboo;


• Etc.

Do-it-yourself blinds installation

There are 2 options for fastening blinds: on glazing beads and on a profile. Of course, if you want to attach blinds to glazing beads, then you must be very careful in choosing the length of the screw, as a long screw can damage the glass of the double-glazed window, which will ultimately lead to depressurization of the entire double-glazed window and adversely affect its thermal insulation properties. Mounting blinds on a plastic window profile is easier, there is no danger, but it is one thing when a hole is made in a glazing bead, which can be easily replaced, and another when the hole is in the profile. Personally, we recommend giving preference to fastening blinds to glazing beads, and, if possible, to fasteners with double-sided tape, this method will not require making extra holes in the window.

The width of horizontal blinds is measured from the left edge of the left glazing bead to the right edge of the right glazing bead. In the same way, the height of the blinds is measured: from the top of the upper glazing bead to the bottom of the lower glazing bead. It is important to consider one point: how you will fix the blinds. If you want to strengthen the blinds on the glazing beads, and at the same time install the lower clamps also on the glazing beads, then the length of the blinds must strictly correspond to the distance from the bases of the glazing beads.

We decided to show the measurement of the blinds in the picture below. Beads are shown in blue - plastic strips that fix the double-glazed window to the profile. The red lines show the boundaries along which it is necessary to measure the window, taking into account our recommendations.

In turn, measuring vertical blinds is a simpler process, since there are no special nuances here. The peculiarity of the measurement is how you want to fix the blinds. There are three types of vertical blinds:

• To the top of the window slope;


• Above the window opening (like a regular cornice);


• To the ceiling.

If you want to limit direct sunlight into the apartment, and at the same time give preference to vertical blinds, then it is best to mount them on the top of the window slope - this type of mount has a more beautiful look. If you want to completely hide the window behind the blinds, or if you have plastic slopes, then you can mount vertical blinds above the window opening. If you want to install blinds instead of curtains and stretch them along a large window opening or on the entire wall, then you need to mount the blinds on the ceiling.

If the blinds will be installed in the window opening, then their width should be equal to the width of the window opening, and the length should be strictly from the upper slope to the window sill, even a little shorter so that they do not cling to the window sill. If you want the blinds to protrude beyond the perimeter of the window opening, then the width of the blinds must be made with an allowance of 15-20 cm, and you can make the height both with an allowance of 20-30 cm more than the height of the window opening, or even make blinds to the floor. If you want blinds to the floor, then we recommend giving preference to blinds for the entire wall - such blinds and the type of their fastening will look very beautiful.

When your measurements are ready, you can go to a company that manufactures blinds, or you can order them through an online store, which will be cheaper and easier. The only thing you will need to choose is the color of the blinds and clarify whether the fastening materials are included with the blinds.

Blinds installation

Installation of horizontal blinds

To install horizontal blinds, you will need a screwdriver or screwdriver and a pencil. The installation procedure is very simple. We put brackets on the upper part of the blinds and measure in which part to screw in the self-tapping screw and mark it with a pencil. It is very good if the brackets are mounted on one self-tapping screw to make fewer holes in the window. So, when the attachment point is planned, we check the correctness of everything and remove the brackets. We first take one bracket, apply it to the intended area and screw in the self-tapping screw. After that, we do the same with the second bracket. Then we put the blinds on the brackets and in the same way we fix the clamps on the sides from the bottom of the blinds. We check whether everything works, and proceed to the installation of blinds on the remaining parts of the window.

As for horizontal fabric blinds, the principle of their installation is somewhat different from the above. As a rule, this type of blinds is attached to brackets, which are fixed to the window on an adhesive base, that is, simply put, they are glued to the profile. As well as horizontal blinds, fabric ones are fixed at the bottom.

You will learn more about the installation of horizontal and fabric blinds from the videos below.

Installation of vertical blinds has 2 types of installation. The first type of installation is when the cornice of vertical blinds is attached to the ceiling or to the upper slope. The second type of installation is when the cornice of the blinds is attached to brackets that are fixed to the wall.

In the first type of installation, there are special mounting holes in the middle of the eaves through which screws are screwed in, fixing the structure to the ceiling or to the slope. To fix the cornice, you need to attach the cornice itself, then you need to outline where to make holes for fastening. Using a puncher, make holes and drive dowels into them. Please note that if you make holes in the slope with a puncher, then be careful not to break off part of the wall. After you have driven the dowels into the holes, attach the cornice and fix it with screws.

With the second type of installation, you must first fix the brackets on the wall, after which the cornice is put on them. Before marking the areas in which the brackets will be fixed, it is necessary to attach a cornice and take measurements. After that, we make holes in the designated areas, hammer dowels into them and then fix the brackets with a screw. At the end of the installation work, we fix the cornices on the brackets.

The next step in the installation of blinds is their assembly. Unlike horizontal and fabric blinds, vertical blinds need to be assembled, but it's not difficult. To do this, you need to collect all the sliders together and turn them with notches towards you. Then we take the lamellas and insert them into the sliders, when the lamellas are tightly fixed, a click will sound. Then weights are inserted into the lower part of the slats and fixed with a chain. After that, check the operation of the mechanism and proceed to attach the decorative panels to the eaves.

Blinds installation video guide

This video demonstrates the process of installing horizontal blinds. In the mounting method used, the brackets are attached directly to the profile with self-tapping screws, and not to the glazing beads.

In this video you can get acquainted with the installation of fabric blinds, the brackets of which are also attached to the profile with self-tapping screws, and not glued to it.

The last video will tell you how to install vertical blinds and assemble them.

Blinds, which even 10 years ago looked like a real foreign exotic, today have firmly entered our lives. Most office spaces and institutions have moved from using standard curtains to universal blinds, which are less dusty, look stricter and are incredibly comfortable.

Blinds are used even in rooms made in a classic style, because their functionality, ease of maintenance and appearance are on top. In addition, blinds provide effective protection of spaces from sunlight, allow you to easily adjust the level of illumination in the room, and reliably shield the room from prying eyes.

The installation of blinds must be carried out in accordance with all the rules, otherwise you risk getting a lot of problems: the curtains will not move, it will be difficult to assemble the curtain, etc. High-quality installation ensures the longevity of the blinds. When installing, you need to take into account the design features, the specifics of the walls (or window frames) in the room.

PVC window companies offer blinds in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Depending on destination, blinds are made from:

By type of blinds are:

These types differ significantly in the location of the lamellas and installation methods.

Vertical blinds are a rarity in ordinary residential areas, they are more often used in offices. They are mounted above the top edge of the window, similar to curtains, although this may adversely affect their functionality. And roller blinds and horizontal blinds are more often used at home instead of traditional curtains. Their installation is carried out not only in the window opening, but also on top of the window.

Roller blinds are mounted on the front surface of the corner of the upper slope of the window profile.

Blinds with horizontal slats can be mounted directly on the window profile, on each sash. Often, horizontal slats are complemented by curtains with curtains. Installing blinds directly on the window profile saves usable space in the room itself and frees up space on the windowsill.

Blinds are made up of:

For windows of a non-standard shape, it is necessary to use lamellas of a special length, which will best ensure the light protection of the room.

If your window has two sashes, then when installing the blinds, pay attention to the location of the blinds lifting mechanism (right, left).

Three ways to install blinds:

• overlay;
• for each window sash separately;
• directly into the window opening.

A factory set of blinds usually includes all the materials for their installation: screws and self-tapping screws, as well as other details.

The choice of installation option is associated with the design features of the window: it is a little easier to install blinds on standard double-leaf windows than on inclined roof windows. One of the most difficult is the installation of blinds on PVC windows, since working with plastic, compared to, say, with wood, has a number of specific features. The installation of the cornice on plastic windows should be carried out as carefully as possible and it is better to do this in the warm season (at temperatures above +5 degrees Celsius).

The installation of the blinds on the window sash can be carried out using self-tapping screws, brackets or by drilling holes in the frame. It is the most durable and reliable.

Important! The tightness of the profile when attaching the cornice of the blinds to it with the help of drilling does not suffer. If it becomes necessary to remove the cornice, and holes remain in the frame, they can be filled with white silicone sealant.

If you do not want to drill holes, use brackets that are attached to the frame without drilling.

Important! In most cases, blinds can be fixed with screws that are already in the window profile. This installation method is no less reliable than drilling holes. You can learn about the possibility of such a simple installation from the blinds instructions.

Blinds installation progress

After unpacking the blinds, read the instructions. Installing blinds means: measuring the window and adjusting the dimensions of the blinds to it; then install the fasteners for the cornice and the cord system; collect the strips on the eaves and check the performance of the system.

Measurements are necessary in order to subsequently make it convenient to use the light-protective sheet, without complaining about distortions or frequent breakdowns. It is especially important to verify the dimensions of the paintings and adjust them to the place of attachment if the window opening has a specific geometric shape.

Before screwing, you need to mark the position of the fasteners with a pencil, checking them with a level and a tape measure, in order to avoid skewed fit and leave room for adjusting the container, and also so that the strips do not extend beyond the window glass.

2. Installing the cornice and slats

Before installation and direct installation, it is necessary to mark the fasteners with maximum accuracy and symmetry. For the regulating cord, additional fastening must be provided so that the structure can withstand the additional load. All elements are fixed to the wall with screws or dowels. Next is the installation of the eaves. The lamellas and runners themselves will be attached to it. The rigidity of the structure is guaranteed by the upper eaves bar, so there is no need to additionally strengthen the bar with glue, sealant or foam - it is fixed quite rigidly.

When reinstalling, you need to measure the width of each window sash so that the window fittings do not interfere with the free hanging of the slats. Also, when choosing the installation “in the window opening”, you need to reduce the height of 2 cm on each side so that the canvas does not touch the window sill. To fix the blinds close to the plastic window, you need to drill the plastic frame of the window according to the markup - pre-drilling will prevent cracking of the plastic.

If the plates on which the blinds are hung do not fit snugly against the window profile, use linings.

Brackets for blinds are screwed into the holes with self-tapping screws. Next, the brackets need to be fixed upward with latches and insert a container with blinds into them.

The lower holders are attached as follows: lower the curtain to mark the lower points (the canvas should be loosely stretched). According to these marks, drill holes into which you need to screw the lower holders that fix the canvas in the “micro-ventilation” position. Make sure the staples are firmly seated in the plastic.

When installing overlay, add 5 cm in width so that the entire opening is closed. The height is adjustable arbitrarily and can reach the window sill or the floor itself.

There are a number of modern ways to install blinds, involving the installation of a cornice with lamellas on brackets attached to the window frame without drilling. The striped cornice is simply hung on the brackets and snapped into place. The design is collapsible, which allows you to remove the blinds when you need to wash the window glass or wipe the slats. This is the easiest way to install blinds.

Features of mounting blinds by type

Vertical blinds

Before starting the installation of vertical blinds, you need to decide whether a wall or ceiling mount for the cornice will be more convenient. The height of the light-protective fabric depends on the place where the cornice is attached.

The thickness of the guide for vertical blinds should be at least 5-6 cm, such a gap will ensure free movement of the slats. If there is an obstacle between the blinds and the wall (batteries, etc.), then you will need to install an additional bracket, which is not included in the kit, you need to buy it separately.

If you want the blinds to be at some distance from the wall (cases are different: a pipe, etc.), you must additionally purchase a bracket

For vertical blinds, the order in which the slats are hung is also important: they must be attached to the cornice in the same order that was in the factory box. Also, before starting the installation, it is necessary to determine the correct direction of the suspensions. The correct position is when, when closed, you cannot see the seam on the blind material.

Don't forget to place the bottom weights on the vertical strips to keep the canvas looking flat. Loads from the outer and inner sides are interconnected by a chain. The plumb line is attached to the cord, which is included in the kit. Different manufacturers use plumb lines of different shapes.

There are a wide variety of vertical blind mounts available in stores, but they are very often unreliable. It will be most reliable to mount the blinds using a pair of brackets that need to be screwed to the wall with self-tapping screws.

Roller and horizontal blinds

Horizontal and roller blinds, as well as vertical ones, are equally conveniently installed on a wall, attached to a window or ceiling. The main thing is to clearly measure whether the canvases will interfere with opening the window. If this happens, in the strips, if possible, you need to cut a hole in advance for comfortable opening of the window sashes.

When fixing on double-sided tape, do not forget to dedust and degrease the surface with high quality.

You yourself have seen that self-installation of blinds is quite simple, if you know a few tricks that make this process easier. Good luck with your DIY blinds!

How to fix blinds on plastic windows, what should you pay attention to if you do the installation work yourself, what is the difference between roll and horizontal structures?

Those who decide to change the interior, replace traditional fabric curtains with their modern counterparts ask themselves similar questions.

Blinds are easy to use, do not interfere with the opening of windows, protect well from the sun and dust.

Blinds are:

• Horizontal - slats (lamellas) are located horizontally, going up during opening;
• Vertical - the slats are installed vertically, open to one side or the other, or move apart from the center;
• Rolled - presented in the form of a single canvas, which is rolled up as needed;
• Pleated - their feature is in the corrugated texture, treated for strength with a special composition. There are horizontal, vertical, can be assembled into an accordion.

All of these types can be:

• wooden;
• plastic;
• aluminum;
• tissue;
• bamboo.

The choice depends on your preferences and financial capabilities.

Instructions for installing blinds with your own hands

The very first step is sizing. Curtains can be attached to the window opening, wall, ceiling. Having determined the place of their future location, it is necessary to make measurements correctly.

To fix the curtains in the opening, you need to make the following measurements. Determine the length - it will be equal to the height of the window pane with insulation (usually a rubber strip) plus 1 cm.

The width is defined as the width of the glass, but taking into account the sealing gum. Do not forget that the plastic window should open freely when the blinds are assembled.

If you are going to mount the curtains on the wall, then please note that they must completely cover the plastic window. The width will be 10 centimeters wider than the window.

The length, taking into account the cornice, increases by about 5 centimeters, its final size depends on whether the shutters cover the window sill or is slightly above it.

When blinds are attached directly to plastic windows, the length will be its height, and the width will be equal to the width of the window being closed.

We use the drilling method

You can fix the structure using drilling tools, or do without them.

Consider how to properly hang horizontal curtains with your own hands directly to the window sash using the drilling method.

Since the curtains are mounted on self-tapping screws, we mark the places for their installation by applying the upper bar of the blinds to the upper window profile. We make holes with a small drill, fasten the brackets.

We fix the blinds and fasten the fishing line that will hold the slats. On the lower part of the sash, again by drilling, we make two holes, placing them exactly under the upper outlets.

We fix the fishing line in the design of the blinds, fix the ends with plugs and thread them into the prepared holes, pull the fishing line.

The considered drilling method is usually used when it is necessary to hang rolled or horizontal structures.

To hang vertical curtains, this method is also used. Holes are drilled at the attachment points, and mounted with the help of connecting elements.

Mounting on brackets

The non-drilling method is used when the blinds will be regularly dismantled.

This method is safe and gentle on plastic windows, while installation without drilling is as reliable as the previous option.

Particular attention during installation should be paid to fixing the upper part of the curtains. To avoid distortions, be careful when marking.

Features of mounting roll, horizontal and other types

Each type has its own characteristics for installation. So, for example, roller blinds are best mounted directly on the window sash.

The structure of roller blinds with a different fastening will not allow the window to be opened when they are lowered.

Horizontal - these are universal designs, they can be hung between frames, attached to a wall, ceiling, etc.

Installation instructions for horizontal products cause the least difficulty during installation.

Therefore, if you are thinking about hanging blinds with your own hands, we recommend starting with this type.

Vertical - installation is done only by drilling, attached to the wall, ceiling, upper slope of the window.

It doesn't matter if you plan to use roller, horizontal or vertical blinds, they all require careful maintenance. In order for the curtains to serve you as long as possible, do not forget to wash and clean them.

In conclusion, we suggest that you watch a video of the phased installation of the structure on plastic windows with your own hands.

There are twelve types of blinds. Each of them has its own distinctive characteristics. Initially, all blinds are usually divided into vertical and horizontal.

Horizontal blinds are more popular for decorating a home space than a public one. This is due to the fact that they take up less space than vertical ones. The design is not massive, it is mounted by drilling or without it. They make horizontal models from thin log cabins of wood: cherry, beech, oak, yew, metal alloys, fabric and bamboo.

Blinds installation

Vertical blinds are more common in the design of spacious offices, hospital rooms, classrooms, rooms with large panoramic windows. They are created from French jacquard, linen, polyester and thin plastic. Fabrics are pre-treated with special dust-repellent, antistatic agents. They are easy to care for, clean from dust, which is very important for rooms with a high degree of traffic.

Depending on the type of construction, finishing materials, dimensions and appearance, the installation option is selected. There are two solutions that either involve drilling or not. Massive types of blinds, made of wood or metal alloys, are fixed only with a drill, screws and brackets. Light roller blinds, mini system, roller blinds, bamboo can be mounted on special L-shaped brackets or mounting tape. Let's take a closer look at the options for how to hang blinds.

How to make a measurement for fasteners

To make a measurement for a horizontal structure, it is necessary to measure the length and width of the double-glazed window. When installing the model, add +1 cm to the length, and +5 to the width.

Installing horizontal slats on the sash involves the following actions:

1. We measure the width of the window opening in several places.
2. We make a mark in the widest place.
3. Add one centimeter to the width.
4. We measure the height.
5. Add four centimeters to the height.

Vertical structures are attached directly to the double-glazed window, wall, ceiling. In order for the lamellas to evenly cover the entire area of ​​the window, the area on the sides must exceed 8 centimeters. Thus, the double-glazed window looks harmonious. When installing on an opening or ceiling, add the area from the ceiling to the window or from the opening to the window to the height.

How to hang vertical blinds

Before starting installation, make sure that all construction details are available.

1. Eaves, fasteners (brackets).
2. Vertical slats.
3. Control device, electric drive (if built-in).
4. Clothespins for slats.
5. Swivel mechanism.
6. Runners for slats.
7. The control thread with which the mechanism turns.

Next, strictly according to the marking marks, make holes. If the installation takes place on a double-glazed window, work with a drill very carefully. Make the required number of holes, insert fasteners. After you need to install a cornice with runners. Then attach the slats. Pull the adjusting thread through and secure with a weight. Check slat rotation. Vertical blinds, with the exception of woven fabrics, are installed more often by drilling.

How to hang horizontal blinds

At a distance of 5-7 cm from the glass, make markings for fasteners. Then make small holes with a drill. We install the brackets and attach the cornice to them. A characteristic click is evidence of correct installation. We lower the blinds and install the lower clamps. To do this, we make markings and screw a self-tapping screw with a lock at the bottom or side of the window sash, after which we check the fixed structure. More detailed information on how to hang blinds, you can get in this video:

Installation of blinds without drilling

There are several options for mounting without drilling. They are suitable for the installation of lightweight designs.

• Construction / mounting tape.
• Special magnets.
• L-shaped brackets (they are attached to the opening doors of double-glazed windows).

With the help of mounting tape, the roller blind box, mini or fabric roller shutter systems can be easily attached to the double-glazed window. To do this, glue the double-sided adhesive tape to the structure, which then needs to be pressed against the window. Be sure to degrease the window surface before attaching the eaves to the adhesive tape! Make sure the curtain is evenly attached. Do not mount the structure on a cold frame. The adhesive tape will lose its properties due to the cold surface. Mark up ahead of time.

L-shaped brackets are attached only to the opening window sashes. The advantage of installation on the L-shaped bracket is that there is no need to make holes in the double-glazed window. You don't have to worry about window depressurization.

How blinds are attached to plastic windows, on self-tapping screws and on adhesive tape

Hello. This time you will learn how to fix blinds on plastic windows. The topic of the article is interesting in that plastic or aluminum blinds are replacing less practical fabric curtains everywhere. Therefore, if you decide to make the windows in your apartment more modern and easy to use, the following photo reports on the installation performed are exactly what you need.

Actual fastening methods

Blinds are fastened to a plastic window in two ways:

• With the use of self-tapping screws - the PVC profile will be drilled, and therefore, when dismantling the blinds, there will be holes that will not be easy to cover;
• Without the use of self-tapping screws - the PVC profile will be intact and this is good, but the structure installed on top of the profile will be held less firmly in comparison with analogues fixed on self-tapping screws.

I don’t know which horizontal blinds you chose, and therefore I’ll tell you about the installation of each of the listed varieties separately and in detail.

Mounting using self-tapping screws

Blinds include the following:

• The main structure of lamellas in the amount of 2 pcs. (one for each sash);
• Fasteners for the upper part, 2 pieces for each sash;
• Fasteners for the lower part, 2 pieces for each sash;
• Self-tapping screws 20 mm long, 4 pcs. for each sash.

Do-it-yourself installation instructions are as follows:

• We unpack the blinds and unwind the adjusting cord;

• Remove the adjusting bar (cane);

• We fasten the upper fasteners to the upper profile of the device so that the fasteners do not interfere with the operation of the mechanisms located inside the profile;

• Next, we dissolve the slats so that they take a position characteristic of open blinds;

• We apply the upper profile to the window so that the lower bar is located just below the glazing bead on the frame, that is, so that the glass is completely covered;

• We mark the location of the fasteners on the window frame;

When marking, I recommend using the spirit level so that the upper bar is located exactly on the horizon and does not have distortions. If the window was initially installed skewed, we make the markup not according to the spirit level, but taking into account the location of the sashes.

• According to the pre-made markup, we install fasteners on self-tapping screws;

The surface of the PVC profile is smooth, and therefore it will most likely not be easy to screw the screw along the mark. Therefore, before screwing in the self-tapping screw, we drill holes in the profile with a diameter of 2 mm, which is 1 mm less than the diameter of the self-tapping screws. It will not be difficult to screw the screw through pre-made holes.

• After the fasteners are installed, we apply the upper bar to them and snap it in with a little effort;

• From the outside, we finally fix the structure with plugs that are put on the holders until a characteristic click appears;
• We lower the blinds so that the lower lamella is located in the lowest position;
• We make markings for the lower fasteners so that they are located at the level of the ends of the lower bar;

• We install fasteners on self-tapping screws;
• We snap the bottom bar into the fasteners;
• We install the adjusting bar on the original mount;

• We check the performance of the installed blinds by opening and closing the gap between the slats.

Operation and maintenance

So we found out how to attach blinds to plastic windows on self-tapping screws. Among the recommendations for the use and maintenance of installed structures, I note the following:

• We scroll the adjusting bar around its axis smoothly, since the hook with which it is attached to the mechanism is rather fragile;
• In order to wash the window, we snap off the lower lamella and assemble the blinds upwards, this is enough to wipe the entire glass;
• I recommend removing dust from the lamellas with a peacock-type whisk;
• I recommend that immediately after the dust is removed, apply an antistatic aerosol to the slats, any of your choice.

Mounting without screws

Now I'll tell how to fix plastic blinds on modern double-glazed windows without using self-tapping screws.

In what case can fasteners without drilling be relevant? There are many such cases, for example, the use of rented housing, where, according to the terms of the contract, it is impossible to spoil the elements of the surroundings.

To perform installation work, you will need a set of conventional horizontal blinds with light plastic slats, double-sided tape and ordinary scissors.

The instructions for attaching blinds to plastic windows without the use of self-tapping screws are as follows:

• Unpack the set of blinds;
• We disconnect the adjusting bar from the main unit so that it does not subsequently interfere with the installation;
• We lay the main block inside out;
• We unwind double-sided tape to the length of the case;

• We remove the protective film on one side of the adhesive tape and on the back side of the block, as shown in the photo;

We select double-sided tape so that the width of the tape is equal to the width of the blinds block. We glue the adhesive tape so that it is flush with the walls of the block. In addition, carefully smooth the glued adhesive tape from the inside, so that it sticks evenly over the entire surface.

• We apply the blinds to the window and determine their position on the upper part of the sash;
• Having decided on the location, we make marks on the profile corresponding to the ends of the block;

• Next, remove the remaining protective strip from the double-sided adhesive tape and glue the block according to the marks made earlier to the profile;

• We install the previously removed adjusting bar and on this installation can be considered completed.

How strong will blinds be held with double sided tape?

The actual operation of the blinds installed on adhesive tape shows that for 1.5 years the structure lasted without any changes, that is, it did not warp or fall. I think that in the course of the next two or three years the situation will not change.

When mounting the blinds block, only the upper part is glued to the adhesive tape, while the lower bar is not fixed. This practically does not affect the operation of the device, except that when the sash is opened towards itself, the lower part of the blinds will move forward and touch the indoor flowers on the windowsill.

I told my friends about this method of installation. I was told that the method is not bad, but they will not use it, since the tape after removal will leave characteristic marks that are difficult to remove. Is it really?

Marks will remain, but it will not be difficult to remove the remaining glue from the frame. It is enough to moisten a rag with sunflower oil and wipe the plastic surface and the glue spots will disappear by themselves. To more effectively remove stains from adhesive tape, we moisten the rag not with sunflower oil, but with WD-40.

By the way, you can successfully apply these methods to remove traces from any adhesive tape and from a variety of stickers.

Conclusion

I talked about the most popular types of fastening blinds to plastic windows. I hope that these photo reports and instructions will be useful to you. If something is not clear or questions appear during installation, ask them in the comments. I promise I will answer quickly!

Finally, I remind you that you will find a lot of interesting and useful things by watching the video in this article.
