What are curtains without drilling, and how to install them yourself are of interest to many consumers. This is a fairly simple design that provides ease of use and simple actions when closing and opening.

Varieties and design features
Before you hang the roller blinds on the window frame, you must familiarize yourself with:
- with existing designs;
- with the principle of their work;
- with features of fixing systems.
Sun protection in the form of curtains on plastic windows is of several types. Only by knowing the features of each design, it will be possible to determine the choice of one of the following options:
- Mini (Mini) - an open roll-type system with a drum on which the web is wound;
- “UNI” and “UNI2” are closed systems with a web located in the cassette.
Roller blinds on the “Mini” windows belong to the budget option, their fastening is carried out without perforation of the frame. A simple design consists of a movable shaft of the holder on which a special web is fixed. Thanks to reliable fixation on one side, the material can be straightened, folded and stored in the assembled position.
The only drawback of this lightweight design is the sagging of the curtains under its own weight with the sash open and the flapping of the incoming air, but this is a completely solvable problem. Using magnets, you can fix the stretched roller blind in the lower part of the frame.
Mini-rolls without drilling are very popular due to their accessibility, compactness, unpretentiousness and easy installation on any window.
Closed sun-protection system for windows without drilling provides for a compact box. This design creates reliable protection of the canvas from the negative effects of the external environment - it does not fade, does not dust, does not lose its original appearance:
- The UNI cassette curtains (Uni) consist of a laminated box, which is presented in a wide variety of color schemes and in imitation under a natural tree. This allows you to select sun protection for any color of the glass. Limiters are installed on both sides of the system, which act as guides and prevent distortions of the web during opening and closing. A rolled curtain rolled into a cassette does not prevent a window from opening. The web is driven by a chain.
- The UNI2 model (Uni2) is a double version of the design with a spring mechanism. Roller blinds are mounted on plastic windows without drilling. The system is mounted in the upper and lower parts of the double-glazed window, which allows you to open the top sheet from the bottom up or up and down the bottom. Curtains for the UNI2 system can be monophonic, consist of patterns and drawings, and also have a different degree of light transmission, which ensures the required level of illumination in the room.
The Zebra cassette roll curtains have increased functionality, consisting of alternating stripes - blackout curtains (made of especially dense fabric) and dimout (made of translucent fabric).Both types of paintings are shifted, as a result of which the intensity of the light flux changes and you can make the window “dull”. It is enough to fix the curtain, and the sun protection system is ready for operation. The canvases are shifted to the side without full lifting, and due to the tight fit to the window, reliable protection against burnout of curtains, curtains, wallpaper and upholstery is provided.
Using roller blinds without drilling, you will not need to use self-tapping screws that violate the integrity of the frame, and when removing the sun protection, the holes formed will have to be closed up.
Installation methods
There are two ways to fix blinds to a double-glazed window:
- by means of cover brackets that are mounted on the frame in the open position. The installation principle is identical to a clamp or ordinary paper clip;
- using double-sided adhesive tape (tight tape).
In the first case, the installation of roller blinds without drilling is carried out using a special bracket, which captures the sash on top. This method is specifically designed for mounting the Mini system. Can also be installed roller blinds on wooden windows.
The fastening of roller blinds in the second case is carried out by double-sided self-adhesive tape, which is placed on a cassette or drum at the production stage. During installation, the protective film is removed from the adhesive tape and applied to the surface of the frame that is degreased with a special solution. Those who install blinds for the first time should know that before hanging the curtains, it is necessary to very accurately identify the points where the fasteners of the system will be placed. Knowing how to fix roller blinds, you can carry out the installation yourself.
The curtains are fastened in winter with a pre-heating of the frame with a hairdryer.
