Everyone knows that the biggest disadvantage of double balconies is that the beam is flush with the beam, and it is difficult to make curtain box . Many home decorations are fooled by this position.
If your house is like this, the curtain installation effect is likely to be similar to the picture or video below. Either the pole is exposed, the light is leaked, or it cannot be pulled, or the curtain has a gap, which is so ugly.
If your home is decorating or preparing to decorate, there is also such a balcony and you are worried about it. You might as well take a look at the design and window seal improvement process of Ms. Li’s curtain box, and you will have the answer in your mind.
Ms. Li's home design process is flawed, but the final implementation plan is quite awesome. I dare not say that it is 100% perfect, but it can instantly kill 95% of the design and installation methods on the market, and eventually become a role model for friends.
Step 1: Solve the basic conditions for installing curtain boxes
As we all know, electric curtain is composed of tracks, pulleys, and motors. The net height of tracks and pulleys is 5 cm.
If you want to ensure that the curtains do not leak light, the minimum limit of the depth of the curtain box is 6 cm. To solve this problem, Ms. Li chose to make a curtain box under the middle beam, and the ceiling fell by 6 cm. Please see the picture below for the specific appearance.
just lifted the ceiling and found a new problem. Because the curtain box fell 6 cm, it was lower than the height of the window sash of casement window , the window could not be opened normally. Not only is it difficult to use, it also affects the ventilation of the living room. It's similar to the video below.
Step 2: Solve the problem of opening casement windows
Casement windows were affected, Ms. Li fell into deep thought again and could not find a solution for the moment, so she planned to remove the curtain box and install the curtains on the top of the beam.
Although the curtain decoration effect is poor, it does not affect the opening and ventilation of the window sash. Just when the carpenter came to prepare for demolition, Ms. Li ignited hope again (the carpenter said: Since we must make curtain boxes to install electric curtains, can we consider changing the window frames? Please ask the merchant if there is any The solution is not too late to tear it down if it is clear). Ms. Li negotiated with the merchant and finally came up with three solutions.
(1) Reduce the height of the window frame and add a 5-cm aluminum alloy square tube to the top of the window frame to leave space for the window sash to open. The effect of the top position of the finished window frame is as follows:
(2) Change the top design of the window frame, make a 25-cm height transverse window on it, and move the sash down to reserve enough size and space for the curtain box to open the window frame.
Similar renderings
(3) Completely abandoned the original window and redesigned it as a pan-inverted sealing window. A spatula window is reserved at the top of the window frame, and the curtain box installation size is also reserved. Similar effects are as follows:
After repeated communication and negotiation, Ms. Li finally chose the first solution, which was slightly rectified on the original basis, and saved some cost. The floor-based rectification effect is as follows
If you also encounter this situation, pay attention to the following details when decorating
1. When designing window sealing, you must calculate the size of the curtain box. You must first design the window and then the ceiling. The order cannot be wrong, otherwise it will follow Like Ms. Li's family, she spent money to make rectifications later, which not only cost money but also delayed the construction period.
2. The budget is sufficient, and it is recommended to choose a translational inverted sealing window. Even if the gauze curtain is pulled up, it will not affect the opening and ventilation of the window. Choose the other two options next time, and carefully consider sliding windows, so that the sealing effect and sound insulation effect will be worse.
3. The size of the curtain box should be reserved. The specific sizes are as follows, and the sizes are slightly different from different manufacturers. When installing electric curtains, the depth of the curtain box is recommended to be greater than or equal to 10 cm.
