Installing blinds on plastic windows without drilling

Blinds without drilling

Installing blinds on plastic windows without drilling is one of the advantages of modern solar control systems. They do not require special cornices or other devices. Blinds can simply be glued to plastic frames or attached to them on small brackets. These installation methods are simple and convenient; they are available for all types of plastic windows, except sliding ones. You can buy blinds without drilling for self-installation or order professional installation of sun protection systems without damaging the frames.

Installation of blinds with drilling - reliable and durable

Fastening sun protection structures with self-tapping screws is the most reliable installation method. You can be sure that even after several years the blinds will not fall off or peel off. And if you want to install new structures to replace the old sun protection, you can do it without much difficulty.

Screw mounting is suitable for blinds of any type and size. In this way, you can install a sun protection structure directly on the window, in the opening or on the ceiling.

Many buyers are interested in the question: will drilling damage the profile of a plastic window? Will its thermal protection characteristics deteriorate? Installing blinds by drilling retains all the properties of the window profile, since short screws are used for fastening. Therefore, the holes in the frame do not violate the reinforcement and do not create cold bridges.

When installing blinds on self-tapping screws, it is important to correctly mark the fastening points. If you do not have the necessary skills, it is best to entrust the installation to professionals.

The only disadvantage of mounting with self-tapping screws is the presence of holes in the window frame after dismantling. However, it is unlikely that you will refuse to use sun protection structures after you evaluate their effectiveness and convenience in practice. But even if you decide to dismantle the blinds, the two small holes in the profile can be easily masked with sealant.

When installation without drilling is required

Installation without damaging the integrity of the frames is carried out if it is necessary to preserve the windows during the warranty period. Some window manufacturers consider screw-on installation of blinds to be a condition that violates the warranty. In this case, the sashes will remain in the same form as when purchased.

It is not advisable to use self-tapping screws in a rented premises or in a situation where the owners of the apartment are not completely sure how to decorate the window. If you need to temporarily hide from the bright sun and unwanted glances, you can glue inexpensive blinds with tape and then remove them without a trace. In Moscow, this method is especially in demand in rented apartments or temporarily rented offices. It's practical, fast and simple.

If you simply don’t want or don’t know how to drill plastic windows, then you don’t need to do it. It is better to choose installation without drilling. This method is just as reliable. The adhesive tape securely holds the blinds on the plastic window; they do not sag, do not slide, or become deformed.

Vertical blinds: what is needed for mounting

Roller or vertical blinds can most often be seen in office spaces, however, this type of curtain is also actively used in homes, especially among those who appreciate the style of a big city or choose minimalism in the interior. Several years ago, in order to take advantage of such blinds, it was necessary to drill the frames, but now installing them on a window allows you to avoid this unpleasant procedure for owners of plastic double-glazed windows.

Often it is simply impossible to drill frames, for example, if a person lives in a rented apartment, in this case you need to know how to place roller blinds and not damage the windows. In addition, the ability to install without screwing will allow you to maintain the attractive appearance of the windows, as well as save time.

In order for roller blinds to become the main decoration in the room, you need the following:

magnets that allow you to firmly and reliably hold the base;
double sided tape;
brackets (clamps) with which you can attach blinds to opening sashes.

It is important to remember that a drill or screwdriver is not involved in this installation. It should also be remembered that if there is a choice between using brackets or tape, the latter is preferable, since it will not damage the sealing rubber that can be used when installing windows.

Brackets can be used if installation is intended to be on an opening sash. Here you can fasten without drilling, therefore, the double-glazed window will not lose its tightness.

Advice:
It is better not to use brackets for blind doors, since their installation without drilling is impossible.

Types of installation

You can install rolls on windows using self-tapping screws. This method seems more reliable to some. This is how roller blinds of the Mini and Uni systems are installed, as well as horizontal metal or plastic blinds. To install them, an open shaft, on which the fabric is wound, or a closed box is attached to the frame with self-tapping screws. With this installation method, the integrity of the frame is violated, and this, firstly, breaks the tightness, reduces noise and heat insulation. And secondly, if the windows are new, then their damage may be grounds for denial of warranty service. This is why it is better to install blinds without drilling into the windows .

Solar control systems can be mounted on windows without drilling. In this case, they are simply glued to the frame using reliable double-sided tape with high adhesive properties. This type of fastening of blinds without drilling does not damage the frame, but at the same time firmly holds the curtain, shaft, frame and guides.

The third option is to use bracket hooks, which are attached like a regular paper clip to the upper surface of the window sash. Brackets are available in metal and plastic. This method is suitable for fixing the upper shaft to the frame, but for guides and lower fasteners that prevent the blade from sagging, you need to use a different installation method - the same adhesive tape.

Blinds without drilling on windows. Advantages and disadvantages.

Good afternoon friends!

Today in the “Interior&Design” councils we will consider a pressing issue:

Which option for fastening blinds to choose: with or without drilling?

There are 3 options for installing roller blinds and horizontal blinds:

on self-tapping screws
with double-sided tape
throw-on bracket

Fastening roller blinds and blinds with self-tapping screws

- the most reliable option.

It doesn’t fall off, doesn’t come off, just as it was installed, it will hang for years. But! It is important to hang everything evenly the first time: drill places for fastening at the same level so that the product works well and there are no distortions. If you are worried, it is better to invite a specialist for installation.

How safe is it to drill a sash for a plastic window? We asked the manufacturer of the windows themselves to answer this question: , one of the largest suppliers of window structures in Samara.

Their official letter follows.

So, if you want the product to serve you for many years without problems and not cause any trouble, feel free to install blinds and roller blinds with self-tapping screws. It's safe and secure.

And if you want other roller blinds or blinds, the fabric can be easily replaced. At Apollo - with a 20% discount!

It is unlikely that you will completely give up blinds - they are convenient and beautiful. And 2 small holes will go unnoticed.

Attaching blinds to tape - no drilling required.

The advantage here is that there are no holes in the window panel, the disadvantage is that the glue is very strong, which is then difficult to wash off the plastic if you wish... If the glue is not of very high quality (we saved money on the supplier), then the blinds will simply fall off over time and the stains will remain unevenly on the window. This glue will probably be easier to remove. But, agree, it’s not enough pleasure?

In general, if you don’t want to drill a window at all and the assurances from the manufacturers do not satisfy you, choose reliable companies and don’t save much on the price - it will be more expensive to redo and re-glue.

Blinds on drop-down brackets.

The simplest, but most unreliable design. Falls when the window is opened suddenly. Window suppliers are dissatisfied with the fact that such blinds “press” the black seal of the sash - because of this, over time, it can “blow” out of the window. This requires replacing the seal as it becomes deformed.

The only plus: this type of fastening of blinds does not require either glue or drilling.

One important nuance: blinds with drop-down brackets are installed only on casement windows.

We tried to fully reveal the pros and cons of installing roller blinds and blinds with and without drilling.
