Window production

Rules

The basis for the production of soft windows is strong and high quality pvc film. This solution is especially relevant if you want to keep space free and open window openings. For which you just need to roll the film into a roll and secure it from the top. And in rainy or windy weather, they also simply open.

This design is hermetically sealed and makes it possible to use the room in winter when installing the heater.

Its main feature is high wear resistance. The service life can exceed ten years under any atmospheric conditions.

However, you need to be careful with the material. So, for example, the curtain should not be folded at temperatures less than minus fifteen degrees, and also beware of accidental cuts.

There are restrictions on the size of the paintings.

If you need a canvas wider than one hundred and forty centimeters, then for this two canvases are taken and fused together by melting.

If the doorway is being decorated, then a zipper is inserted in the center.

Silicone brackets and straps can be used as fasteners, for wide five-meter canvases it is possible to use swivel brackets, for two-meter ones - metal locks.

Fasteners can be located on the side and bottom, along the perimeter of the canvas, on top of the eyelets, with a weighting agent on the bottom.

Soft windows are subdivided by the type of material - transparent and opaque.

The former perfectly transmit oxygen and light. Do not fade from sunlight. The disadvantage here is only lower strength in contrast to opaque ones. This is due to the fact that there is no lavsan thread in transparent ones.

Opaque ones are made of pvc of different colors, even options with images are possible.

Soft window coverings for a veranda or terrace can be roughly subdivided into pvc curtains, protective curtains made of acrylic fabric with plastic dusting and soft ones made of unreinforced thin transparent material.

PVC curtains, as a rule, are used for outdoor cafes, but they may well be used in everyday life. They have elasticity, are very soft, cannot break or break, and are perfectly stored rolled up. They are also water resistant, have a wide range of colors and are relatively inexpensive.

Protective fabrics are created from acrylic fabrics coated with plastic spraying.

Excellent protection against UV radiation, rain and dust. They are the cheapest option for temporary protection.

Soft ones are made of unreinforced thin transparent material. This is a rather flexible and smooth substance, which is very convenient when installing it into a pvc frame. It is considered a good and economical glass substitute for summer use.

Sliding structure

PVC sliding curtains are used when it is necessary to close a large opening verandas or gazebos. The transparent curtains are suspended using metal rollers located in an aluminum recess.

Opening and closing is performed as in the case of conventional sliding curtains. For the production of soft sliding windows, mainly polyurethane is used. It is the most elastic and, when used, is similar to a transparent fabric curtain.

Note: When installing windows on a veranda or terrace, using a narrow profile, you can increase the panoramic space of the terrace, and when using thick profiles, the reliability of the structure will be felt.

Results

Flexible windows for the veranda will serve you more than one season, but you should know how to properly care for them. A garden hose can be used to clean these windows. For a more thorough wash, you can use soapy water and a soft sponge.

Note: Do not use aggressive detergents for cleaning soft windows, this can damage the PVC.

After the operating season, the curtains should be washed, dried and rolled up for storage.
