Rolled cassette curtains - a direct canvas from a special woven material, characterized by solid strength. Most often it is the highest quality polyester to which cotton or linen can be added. At the bottom, the canvas is supplemented with a special bar - a weighting plumb.
The fabric is evenly wound on the roller, without wrinkling and without any deformation. There are a huge number of cassette roller blinds that differ from each other in appearance, color, size, design, type of fastening and other nuances.
The principle of operation and design features
A lot depends on how the window opening is decorated: on the level of insolation in the room before how spectacular the whole interior in the room as a whole looks. Cassette curtains are convenient to use and fit well into any design composition.
This is largely due to design features that determine the appearance of curtains and operational nuances. Roll samples on cassettes are mounted on a frame or special glazing beads. Such curtains on the windows allow you to create the most natural composition: textiles look with a window, as a whole.
The fabric moves up and down both near the glass itself and relatively distantly. It all depends on how the owner of the apartment wishes to refine the window opening. A decorative box is placed on top - a cassette with a mechanism. The curtains are wound on a roller.
Roller cassette blinds can be equipped with a system of gears and can be controlled extremely simply. The most primitive models are regulated using an ordinary lace. There are options with a semi-automatic system for adjusting the position of the fabric.
The most advanced models are equipped with special sensors: curtains are automatically adjusted, depending on what parameters have been set. In fact, such cassette-type roller blinds are the textiles of the future. They completely solve all problems, without requiring outside intervention.

Materials and fittings

Cassette rolled curtains "day-night" - an interesting variety, consisting of two paintings. Transparent and dense canvases form a specific pattern. Depending on how the gaps are aligned, the room may be completely dark or very light.

The density of the fabric can affect the entire interior as a whole, so the selection of fabric should be carried out taking into account the design concept.
Nuances

To make the fabric and accessories seem to be one, they select the composition in one color. Sometimes the color of the window frame and all the elements of roller blinds can withstand the same tone.
Classic design
Roller blinds of the standard type are the most popular system of rolled cassette blinds. Still such models are often called "classics". There are three different ways to mount a structure:
- on a casement window;
- in the opening;
- on the opening.

As accessories, the Classics can be supplemented with metal chains (instead of ordinary plastic), various decorative components that are mounted on the box itself or on the curtain canvas.
There are curtains with a spring mechanism. Classics can be installed for tilted or skylights. Some designs require full masking of the box, roller and control mechanism.
Compact version
Compact designs or mini is a mini-roll system that resembles the Classic, but is designed exclusively for installation on the window sash. The design is simpler with a reduced roller diameter. Typically, the box and the spring mechanism are completely absent.
