Modern decor combines truly all the variety of styles and trends, allowing everyone to find for themselves exactly what is suitable for their home. Designers offer a lot of options for finishing almost all categories of residential objects. The latest fashion trends in the design of country houses and buildings on the adjacent site deserve special attention at the beginning of the spring-summer season.
A garden gazebo or an open veranda is the most favorite vacation spot for the whole family. It is convenient to meet guests, spend free time, chat and enjoy the fresh air in nature. In order for such a pastime to give maximum pleasure, and therefore benefit both the owners and their guests, care should be taken about the convenience and safety of these buildings.
The most popular design options for gazebos and outdoor garden verandas are the following:
- adding forged elements to the decor of the building;
- the use of circular glazing with a possible option of opening flaps or blind with integrated air conditioning;
- decoration of a summer vacation place with false shutters, stained-glass windows;
- decoration of gazebos and outdoor terraces using curtains, blinds and canopies.
The gazebo with curtains looks great in the garden, and also protects its inhabitants from the hot sun and prying eyes. Transparent curtains for gazebos will eliminate the penetration of annoying insects, but at the same time will allow fresh air to enter, eliminating stuffiness. Curtains for an open veranda made of fabric allow you to choose the best option for the color that fits perfectly into any exterior.
Curtain Attachment Techniques
There are several ways to fix soft curtains for gazebos and verandas, in many ways similar to installing window shades in city apartments. It all depends on the material from which the open building is made, the design features, the area of the room and the size of the openings. In most cases, the following methods are used:
- curtains for arbors are hung on a suitable model of a ceiling or wall cornice;
- installation of a horizontal beam over each individual aperture or along the entire perimeter of the structure, onto which the curtain is subsequently fixed using metal or plastic eyelets;
- installation of special hooks and fixtures if curtains are made into the gazebo with your own hands.
It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the arrangement of the arbor, as well as the air flow in the room during the day. The transparency of the curtains will provide soft lighting on the veranda, but due to the increased breathability of the fabric, it will require more reliable fastening in order to avoid breakage of the fasteners or tearing of the fabric due to gusts of wind.
Protective curtains for the gazebo must be installed so that their movement and removal if necessary did not cause trouble to the owner of the cottage. This will allow you to clean the curtains from dirt, dust, garden debris, not only at the end of the season, but also, if necessary, throughout the summer period.
The main advantages of acrylic curtains
The gazebo in the garden can be either a separate object, or enter into a whole group of garden buildings.So, for example, you can often find a combination of a garden gazebo and a stationary barbecue room, a veranda and an open summer kitchen, as well as the option of combining a pool or an artificial pond with a small gazebo that has become so popular.
Increased demand among summer residents and owners of their own country houses began to use arbors made of plastic with panoramic windows and circular glazing. Often in such arbors, even the roof can be made of glass. Of course, such designs look great, safe for people, reliably protect from wind and rain, but they let in the hot rays of the summer sun as much as possible. This leads to excessive overheating of the air inside the building or an uncomfortable stay in it.
The problem is easily solved if you install roller blinds for the gazebo on the windows. A distinctive feature of such curtains is not only their light, but also sound insulation. For their production, the most modern materials that meet all safety requirements are used. In most cases, roller blinds for gazebos are made of special "blackout" fabric.
The peculiarity of such a canvas is that it is produced by combining several of the thinnest layers of acrylic. Acrylic curtains for the gazebo have a number of advantages:
- durability and strength with comparative ease;
- thermoregulation in the room, since in summer the curtain will not allow the air inside the gazebo to heat up, and in winter, on the contrary, to cool;
- absolute resistance to external damage, moisture and sun.
In addition, modern technologies make it possible to produce street curtains for arbors and porches from acrylic in a wide variety of colors or with the presence of prints, drawings and ornaments.
Benefits of PVC Curtains
The popularity of polyvinyl chloride is due to its strength and ease of use. Transparent PVC curtains for gazebos and verandas are widely used not only for the improvement of country houses and other household objects on the garden plot, but also in the design of public places of rest. So, outdoor curtains for the gazebo, made of PVC, are applicable:
- for improvement of open verandas of restaurants;
- in the design of street cafes and lounge areas;
- to ensure the protection of children's playgrounds, attractions.
PVC protective curtains for arbors have absolute light transmission. Completely exclude the penetration of dust, as they are securely attached around the entire perimeter of the opening. Moving or moving such curtains in the future will not work, which should be taken into account depending on the individual characteristics and design of the gazebo.
When choosing such a material, it should be remembered that it is easily damaged by sharp objects, which requires careful attention during installation and during storage. The main advantages of PVC curtains are:
- a high rate of protective properties of the material, many times superior to other existing options for fabrics and coatings;
- a complete obstacle to the penetration of rain, dust, wind and insects;
- durability of use, the ability not to remove PVC fences for the autumn-winter period;
- in the case of minor and medium damage, it is possible to repair such a curtain using an elementary repair procedure;
- optimal for mounting in the gazebo of any material and regardless of the size and shape of the window openings.
Modern PVC curtains for gazebos and verandas are distinguished by their resistance to temperature extremes and severe winter frosts. That is why such structures are widely used during mass winter holidays, social events and the construction of other temporary structures.
A transparent curtain will serve as an excellent barrier to dirt and precipitation, while allowing you to enjoy the surrounding natural landscape. But the PVC curtain is absolutely powerless in front of the scorching sun: the rays penetrate the structure, heating the air.Given this fact, many owners of institutions complement the PVC curtain with internal blinds or fabric curtains. This combination allows you to achieve absolute protection against dust and rain, thanks to the PVC material, and from sunlight due to fabric curtains.
The variety of models, various options for the manufacture of curtains for gazebos and outdoor terraces allow you to choose the option that will be the best solution for any type of structure, taking into account its features, design ideas and purpose.
