How to remove blinds of various configurations from windows?
Horizontal and vertical slats, despite the presence of special dust-repellent impregnation, need regular cleaning. Here the owners have a question: how to remove the blinds? Due to the correct dismantling, it is possible to avoid breakage of individual parts of the structure, their deformation and tangling. After the blinds are removed from the windows, they can easily be washed from accumulated dirt and replace worn elements with new ones.
Before starting dismantling, it is necessary to study the features of the design with which it is necessary to deal.
Vertical slats
To remove the vertical slats from the window, you do not need to apply any special effort. The dismantling procedure itself is quite simple and does not take a lot of time.
So, how to remove vertical blinds:
- lamellas should be evenly distributed over the ledge to which they are attached, and unfold so that they are lined up in a row;
- there is a plug on the side of the cornice - it must be removed; first raise, then tilt to the side and pull it out sharply;
- carefully connect the chain connecting the individual canvases of the blinds;
- to take out weighting agents from the lower compartments of canvases;
- now you can remove the lamellas - they are disconnected one after another and folded one by one.
The dismantling of aluminum and plastic blinds from the window is carried out according to a similar scheme, when disassembling a wooden structure, the latches located on each side are pre-removed.
Important!
If you removed the blinds in order to wash them, then in this case it is necessary to remember that only lamellas that are made of textiles can be folded. It is extremely not recommended to bend plastic or aluminum products, since such a design is very fragile, and therefore easy to damage. So, plastic lamellas can crack, and the original shape of aluminum canvases will not be restored!
Horizontal blinds
If vertical curtains are in most cases found in office rooms, then horizontal designs are especially popular in apartments and private houses. The lamellas of such blinds are much shorter, and they are mounted on brackets with metal clips, bolts or plugs. And in order to understand how to remove the system, it is necessary first of all to study its upper part, paying attention to the bracket. It’s good if the instruction remains - it always contains information not only on the installation, but also on the removal of the blinds.
The first stage of work is the dismantling of the eaves from the brackets that fix the entire system. Let's consider how to remove horizontal blinds with various types of fastening.
- “Swallow” type clamp - move the front and back walls of the bar, which is located at the very top, with your fingers or a screwdriver, and remove it.
- Bolts are unscrewed with a conventional screwdriver; the structure is free and can be easily removed from the brackets and washed.
Tip If the windows in your house are large, then without the help of a second person it will be quite difficult to deal with the dismantling of the blinds, so you need to take care of the presence of a partner in advance! Especially when blinds are wooden or combined systems.
- Decorative caps. To free the lamellas, first remove the plug, then on the upper edge they find the tabs of the clamps and lift the plates, sharply pull the clamps on themselves, then to the right, the plates are pulled forward and down and only after they disassemble the structure.
Recommendations for dismantling and operation
During washing and cleaning of individual strips, it is necessary to carefully turn the blinds, making sure that they do not become tangled and do not deform.
To avoid difficulties during the dismantling process, it is advisable to initially choose compact designs - you can install several pieces even on large windows. A large system will require strength and endurance when removing.
If you decide wash the blindsthen it is advisable to return them to their original place the next day, when they are completely dry. And do not rush to assemble the system - all elements, including plugs, a cornice and a decorative cover, must dry out when disassembled. Before mounting on windows, it is recommended to lubricate the blinds mechanism with oil, which is used in caring for sewing machines, or treat it with a self-spray.
To hang the structure, you should complete all of the above work in reverse order. If in the house there are special systems that were made to order, then in this case you will need the help of professional masters. Remember, dismantling should be carried out with special care - this way you can avoid tangles and slack after installation.
