One of the most simple and affordable ways to design the window opening are rolled curtains on plastic windows without drilling. The principle of operation of the opening and closing mechanism is quite simple - the fabric canvas turns into a roll on the drum, the rotation of which is controlled by the cord.

Despite the practicality, ergonomics and modern appearance, rolled models for plastic windows have some disadvantages. The simplicity of design is not always suitable for elegant and luxurious room interiors.

With the help of rolled curtains, it is difficult to adjust the direction of the luminous flux, especially on single-windows windows with one set of curtains.
Types of designs on plastic windows
Depending on the method of fastening and designing the cloth lifting mechanism, rolled systems are separated into several types for the convenience of manufacturers, sellers and buyers.
- "MINI" (mini) - low-cost rolled systems of simple design, designed specifically for plastic windows in which the drum with the web is open. Can be mounted in a standard way to a self-tapping screw to the profile or without drilling to sticky double-sided adhesion. A lightweight design has the only drawback - when writing downstreams on the ventilation of the curtain, it disperses under its own weight vertically or beats when the window is opened under the action of air. This problem is easily solved with the help of magnets that the lower edge of the curtains is fixed on the frame, stretching the canvas.
- The "Uni" cassette is a system in which the curtain is located inside the box and moves when the side guide is lifted. The box is securely installed on the profile and allows you to close all the gaps and lumen between the frame and the curtain, providing absolute protection from solar or daylight. The box can be laminated in any color scheme or under a natural tree to the tone of the glass packages. When opening the window, the curtain turns into a compact cassette. The chain that controls the lifting mechanism is moving inside the fixtures mounted on the frame during the installation of the curtains. The UNI cassette system can be attached to the frame and to the head of the self-tapping screw or without drilling.
- Double Curtains "Uni2" (Un2) - Rolled Systems with a spring mechanism are installed in the upper and lower part of the glass package, allowing you to open the top (bottom-up) or lower (top-down) speed. For UNI2, two types of fabrics with different patterns or varying degrees of light permeability are used. This approach makes it possible to ensure the desired degree of illumination in the room.
- Zebra - Rolled Systems, where, on a double canvase, strips of dense tissue (black) and translucent (Dimaut) alternate. When moving both, the bands are shifted, changing the intensity of the light flux. By installing Zebra at all, it is not necessary to completely lift the chart, it is enough to shift the stripes, aligning the dense one by one.
Tight fit of the canvas to the window securely protects the curtains, curtains, curtains and upholstery of furniture from burnout.
