It is only necessary to choose the type of evens, which is suitable for the interior and exterior of the house.
Varieties of era
For various types of windows and interiors, various decorative elements are needed. The shutters in this sense are no exception, because everyone who wants to establish shutters has the opportunity to choose from several structural varieties:
- Shutters with one sash. Ideal for small windows on which it is impractical to install the design of their two halves. The installation of shutters from one sash is carried out both outside and from the inside. The outer structure is closed with a regular lock similar to constipation for the front door. The internal structure is closed in any convenient way - on the lock or ordinary bolt.
- Shutters with two sashes. This is a classic design that is found in private houses everywhere. Their advantage over the model with one sash consists in the fact that when opening the halves, the window looks more natural and symmetrical. Zapors on such shutters most often make two, one interconnected by halves, and the other fixes them in this state.
- Folding structures. This configuration has not one or two halves, but several - 4, 6, 8 or more. This design is formed according to the principle of accordion and is the most convenient and universal. Folding shutters make it possible to cover or open the window not completely, but only partially, that is, they regulate the level of lighting in the room. They are installed from the inside and outside, on one side of the window or on both sides.
- Stavni-steres. This design on the principle of operation is similar to ordinary window blinds. The differences are that, in the form of era, they have a frame made of strong material and allow not only to raise and lower the rails, letting the light into the room, but also to open the frame itself. Sweet shutters are convenient for the external installation, since it is more advisable to install ordinary blinds in the interior. However, some decorative modifications of this product will not only protect the house, but also complement the interior with a unique stylish element.
- Rollepes for windows are also attributed to the category of eve, as they perform the same function. This design is a rising and descending canvas, the movement of which is carried out at the expense of the built -in mechanism. Most often, rolls are installed from the outside of the window, since inside this design looks bulky and spoils the type of interior.
Material of manufacturing is eager
But the shutters differ not only by the type of their design, they are made from various materials, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Before making installation of eating, you should decide which material is preferable.
- Wooden shutters. This material has been used for centuries for the manufacture of Eve, it does not lose its relevance now. Most often, shutters carry precisely a decorative rather than a protective function, and wooden shutters allow you to choose and change their design depending on their own taste preferences. Decorate wooden products with firing, thread, forged elements or conventional paintings. Not only the classic shutters of two pisses are made of wood, but also single -barrel, folding shutters and even blinds. The only drawback of the tree is not persistently before external influences. But this drawback is not difficult to fight if you regularly treat the shutters with protective solutions.
- Metal shutters. This variety carries more a protective function than decorative. Metal is a cold and heavy material that will not give the house a look of the magic lightness that wooden shutters give. But for unwanted guests, this type of material will become a serious barrier on the way. Improve the appearance of metals using decorative thread and staining. Shutters from one sash, two, as well as rollers are made from metal.
- Plastic shutters. This material is the most economical and durable, since plastic is indifferent to temperature extremes, atmospheric precipitation and other environmental influences. The minus of such erevens is a low level of protection. The plastic is easy to break even just tearing out of the loops. In addition, he does not delay heat in the room. All types of evens are made from this material.
Advantages of using internal erects
The most important advantage of internal eraduates is that they do not require the installation of a system of complex locking mechanisms. Since these shutters are located indoors, it is enough to lock them on a regular bolt or cheek. The safety of internal is also in the fact that they will not attract attention. The house with closed external shutters, as it were, signals that there are no owners in it now. The internal shutters are not so noticeable from the street, and the surname between the window and the sash will make them not at all prominent. Thus, the impression will always be created that there is someone at home.
The advantage of internal es to bars in their mobility. The grate is placed once and for all, the shutters open or completely remove and do not spoil the view from the window. Moreover, the price of the shutters is much lower, especially if you set them with your own hand.
