Before installing the cornice, you will get acquainted with the species to determine the choice.
Types of karnis:
- round;
- profile;
- on the string;
- baged.
Each type of fastener is divided into ceiling and wall.
Choice of fasteners
Consider first the device and the principle of fastening the cornice on the ceiling. It consists of two elements: rails and profiles. The movement of the curtain canvas is performed on hooks installed on the guide. The profile can be made of durable aluminum material or more flexible and pliable plastic.
The profile design can be different: string, rod or rail. In the string cornix for the ceiling, the main suspended element is a string. Rodes consist of a pipe-rod installed on the brackets. Rail eaves are more practical and comfortable - the fastening element moves along with the cloth on the rails.
When it is difficult to determine the choice of type of cornice, it is worth paying attention to a popular wall-mounted cornice. It can be represented in the form of a pipe or rod. Materials of wall curtains: wood, metal, plastic. Depending on the type of curtain canvase, you can choose the material and color of the bar. This is the main advantage of wall cornices. For example, if you prefer lightweight materials, you can install a plastic bar, and when you need to hang heavy long curtains, it is better to choose a durable metal cornice. In addition, you will always have the opportunity to choose a hint of the cornice that is harmonizing with a web and a common interior of the room.
Installing a cornice for curtains
With independent installation, the eaves often arises such a question how to strengthen fastening reliability. It is clear that if the design of the cornice is complex, then she will have more weight. The surface on which the cornice will be installed must be durable. If this rule is not respected, the probability of collapse increases significantly.
There are two answers to the question: choose a lightweight design or strengthen the surface at the fastening site. Experienced masters advise prepare a hole for fastening and fill it with a resin, then insert fasteners and install the cornice. When you need to install the cornice on the brick wall, the dowel is replaced with wooden plugs. Now in its reliability you can not doubt.
Materials and tools for work:
- ladder;
- drill;
- screwdriver (screwdriver);
- roulette;
- pencil;
- level.
First, it is necessary to determine the place of attachment of the cornice so that when opening the window it does not interfere. In addition, when installing the carnis, you need to adhere to such a rule: so that the fabric does not touch the window sill, the protruding part of the eaves must be more. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the width of the heating devices if they are located under the window.
Perform markup using a roulette and level, consider the same distance along the edges of the window.
For the installation of wooden and plastic cornices, the mount is performed on several screws, and if it is necessary to install a metal cornice - used from 3 to 5 fasteners.
How to install wall-mounted cornice:
- Drill drill holes under the dowel and secure them.
- Use the screws to attach the brackets.
- Before the final installation of the cornice, check the distance and secure the bracket to securely securely.
- On the barn, wear the rings and lock it on each side of the bracket. Here you are granted the right to choose: you can fix the rod so that on each side behind the bracket, one ring remains, or not to leave the ring before the tip.
- Install Fleons on the edges of the rod. They will not allow to slip with the extreme rings with the curtains.
Installation of flexible cornice
For curtain mounting, a steel string is the basis of the base in the cornily. This type of baguette is not suitable for hanging heavy curtains, because it will not work very much to pull the cable, it will still be a heavy cloth.
String baguettes are more often fixed on the ceiling. They can be with one or more strings. Together with a string cornice included fasteners: clips, strings and dowels.
How to install a flexible cornice:
- Holes are prepared in the wall or ceiling.
- Dowels are inserted into the holes, and the karnis is screwed down.
- In the attachments, they make a string and stretch it.
- The finished design is closed with a decorative box.
Aluminum curtains are most often attached to the ceiling to visually expand the space. With the help of eaves, you can not only perform the drapery of the window, as well as make the zoning of the room.
Aluminum eaves are suitable for rope curtains when it is necessary to focus on the curtain canvas.
The installation of aluminum eaves is carried out according to the same principle as the installation of the flexible eaves.
Installation of ceiling cornice
Ceiling baguette is attached to the ceiling and suitable for small rooms. In addition, if there are designs from drywall, just this option will be the most acceptable.
Unlike wooden wall structures, ceiling eaves are distinguished by durability and affordable price, they are not afraid of temperature and moisture drops, it is easy to care for them.
Currently, ceiling curtains are made of plastic or aluminum.
When installing the wall cornice, it is necessary to calculate its length. By the rules, 40 centimeters are added to the window length. This will allow you to open a full window. If the curtains are used sufficiently dense, which are difficult to fold, then to this length can be added on each side of 20 centimeters.
So that the window is easily opened, and the curtains are not adjacent to the wall - the distance from the wall during the installation of the cornice should be at least 10 centimeters.
How to install ceiling cornice:
- Prepare the base - the ceiling must be smooth, without protruding parts. If a wide plinth is adjacent to the ceiling, then it is possible to remove it in the place of attachment of the cornice.
- Perform the markup of the ceiling with the same increments on each side.
- Decorative lining need to wear immediately.
- Drill drill holes and install the cornice on the ceiling. Secure it with a dowel. The step between the fastener should be 50-60 centimeters.
- When installing a plastic cornice of soft material, it is better to enhance the fastening element with metal plates. They are installed on the inside of the eaves for fastening the dowels.
- Insert the hooks and fix the plugs.
- Major coats for plasterboard with special dowels. They differ in that when attaching is revealed in drywall from the inside and provide a good connection. When installing the ceiling cornice, it is worth considering the load on the dowel - no more than 5 kilograms for the ceiling and 8 - for the wall.
Installing the cornice on the stretch ceiling
When the stretch ceiling is already installed, but there is no cornice - this represents a certain problem. The PVC tension cloth is not intended for fastening the overall object - eaves, especially since the curtains will be suspended. Then the eaves are installed not on the PVC film, but to the mortgages that are mounted in advance.
Installation methods:
- Baguette is fixed on support wooden bars.
- The cornice is attached to the ceiling, and the canvas itself - in front of the cornice.
The first method is used often, the second - less often due to the complexity of the work.
How to install a carnis in the open way:
- Install the cornice is easier before installing the ceiling. Therefore, first the place of attachment of the cornice is determined.
- In this place on the ceiling and around the perimeter of the room, markup is performed.
- Responsible part of the work - on the markup line to attach the timber. The tree is pre-treated with a primer mixture to prevent the process of rotting.
- Wooden bar is mounted on a dowel in pre-prepared holes.
- After fastening the wooden bar, you can begin the installation of the tensioning canvas. Fastening is performed on wooden bars through the PVC film.
- In the place where the fastener passes through the film, the rings are installed, and the holes do not cut into the film, but are ridd.
- If everything is done according to the rules, the bar will not be noticeable.
Installing a cornice in a niche:
- This method of fastening is complex, but as a result, the eaves will be hidden, and the curtains will be impressed directly from the ceiling.
- Even before measurements of the stretch ceiling, you need to purchase cornice, as its length and width will determine the depth of the niche.
- The cornice is attached to the ceiling overlap on a dowel.
- A wooden timber will be located back from the ceiling cornice. It must be pre-treated with antiseptic primer to eliminate the reproduction of the mold fungus.
- On a wooden bar will be attached to the locking profile of the stretch ceiling from the cornice side so that the PVC film closes the wooden bar.
