The trading network presents a wide range of roles from various materials, suspended systems, movement mechanisms. To understand the variety of implemented models when choosing, their distinctive features, main varieties, installation methods should be known.

Types of light-protective systems

To protect the premises from solar and daylight, the following varieties of light-protective devices are used:

Curtains. Classic cloth curtains and curtains for the protection of rooms from day and sunlight have not yet lost their relevance due to the simplicity of installation, availability of materials, abundance of colors and textures. Usually, the window eaves hang a double system with translucent curtains for transmitting daylight and dense porters to screen outdoor illumination if necessary.

A special magnificity and a rich species give the room French curtains such as marquise, sewn from an expensive beautiful fabric in the form of a row with numerous horizontal folds. Usually, heavy curtains do not hang on the balcony, preferred with light air materials dissipating solar radiation and protecting from outdoor review.

The design with a history of several thousand years is lowered by a cloth window, which, when lifting it becomes waveled due to the rigid transverse rails placed in its structure. For consolidation, special eaves are used, which provide for the possibility of lifting, descent and fixing the canvas at the desired height.

. Horizontal and vertical blinds from separate lamellas are popular lightware systems for various types of rooms, ranging from residential rooms and ending with manufacturing workshops. The advantages of the blinds are their practicality - plastic lamellas are easy to maintain and have a high operational period, and some systems do not require care at all - they are embedded between the glazing facilities.

Rafower - A variety of blinds for external use, they are made of durable aluminum lamellae horizontal or vertical location, which are capable of performing protective functions when closed.

. The material of the manufacture of this type of light-census is a special rigid fabric, which is going to the harmonica to pass the light into the room. The advantage of Plisse is the ability to install in window openings of arched shape, another feature is permissible arbitrary location of the screen on the window. That is, Plissa is able to overlap the opening in the middle and from the middle to the bottom or the top, which is impossible to implement in other systems.

Rolls (Rolls, Rollstitch) - a cassette curtain from horizontally arranged aluminum lamellas and vertical guides, which, when opened, twisted into a roll. The process of moving them (rotation of the shaft) is usually controlled by an electric motor. The system is used outside and is mainly designed to protect against penetration on objects, along the way, performs light-protective functions, sometimes rollers put indoors instead of doors.

Rollers. It is a vertically hanging tissue with a weighting agent on the bottom edge, it is winding on top to the horizontal drum by a manual or electromechanical way. The system is highly popular in view of its practicality - takes little space, it is capable of working on sash down at the angle.

Reflexol (Latin - Reflective Sun) - a type of rolled curtains with a canvas made of high-strength polyester or polyvinyl chloride is usually used outside of the light-protection of the premises, effectively resists atmospheric precipitation. The reflexes canvas are wound on a horizontal protective camp with a manual or electromechanical manner, aluminum guides are placed in its edges.

Varieties Roller for Balcony

Despite the simplicity of design, all rolled curtains on balcony windows implemented in trade or custom-made, have the following differences:

1. According to constructive execution. In simple systems, the linen is freely hangs from the top horizontal shaft. In more complex structures, the shaft is closed by a box, and the side edges of the matter are placed in vertical guides - thanks to this curtain can descend with lowered down window sash.
2. By type of management. In simple systems, lowering and lifting the canvas is carried out due to the displacement of the plastic chain manually. In more expensive devices for the movement of the shaft, the electric motor corresponds to the inclusion of which manages a separate rendered switch or remote remote control.

Many roller model models have a spring mechanism of lowering without a side plastic chain - it significantly improves the ease of use of the system on inclined flaps.

1. By material of the web. All materials used for the manufacture of roller beans can be divided into the following groups:

• Natural. Includes flax, cotton, satin, thin bamboo plates, often fabric structure are impregnated with antibacterial, fire-fighting or antiple compositions.

1. By appointment of the web. Users used in rolling curtains can be divided into the following groups:

• Translucent - designed to protect against the direct rays of the sun during the daytime, dispel the light, preventing furniture and sexual coating from fading. Usually used on balconies, kitchens and in the living rooms.
• Blackout - a dense light-protective cloth, designed to completely protect the room from the penetration of daytime and sunlight. The rollers of this type are often placed in bedrooms or home theaters. Curtains Blackout may well be placed on glazing outdoor balcony frames if the room is used as a recreation area, and plasma is hung on the side wall to view television channels.
• . The canvas is alternating horizontally spaced transparent (translucent) and dark light-protective strips like zebra. When moving, the light-tight fragments occupy space transparent and can completely overlap light.

1. By the method of deduction when tilting. The main advantage of Rollštor is the ability to hold on the sash when it is lowered. To do this, use the following methods of mounting the canvas:

• Place its side edges into vertical guides.
• Fasten from the bottom to the matter, the weightlifier with the ears, which paste into the vertically stretched fishing line on the sides of the curtains.
• Screw the magnets at the bottom to the sash and use a metal weighting agent, which, when lowering the curtains, is attracted to magnetic retainers.

• We cling to the top edge of the s-shaped plastic brackets for the hold of the shaft, which are additionally attached to the adhesive. Then installed a hollow tube with a chain or spring mechanism.
• In rare cases, the brackets are glued to the profile of the frame on bilateral tape (such fasteners are implemented in the trading network), however, due to the weak fixation on the sticky glue composition, the use of such systems is limited by weight of the roller.
