Frequently asked questions about the Curtains, accessories category
What are Curtains, accessories and what are these products used for?
Curtains, accessories is a category of window dressings: textile curtains, roller and pleated blinds, venetian/lamella blinds, metal and wooden curtain poles, tracks and fittings. They control light and privacy, improve thermal/acoustic performance and serve as a decorative element.
How do roller blinds differ from blackout roller blinds and which to choose for a bedroom?
Standard roller blinds (e.g. RULOO METALIC, MINI MALTA) transmit light depending on fabric openness; Blackout/TERMO rollers block light completely and add thermal insulation. For a bedroom choose a Blackout or TERMO roller with dense weave and thermal backing.
What curtain pole lengths suit large windows and balcony doors?
Curtain poles from 200 cm upward (e.g. U-profile or wooden poles 200–320 cm) suit large windows and balcony doors. Add about 10–20 cm each side of the opening to allow the curtain to stack clear of the window.
Which blinds are better for the kitchen — metal or fabric?
Metal or plastic venetian blinds are recommended for the kitchen because they clean easily and resist moisture and odors. Fabric lamella or roller options give a softer look but require gentler maintenance and stain protection.
How to measure a window for MINI MALTA or TERMO roller blinds?
Measure window width at top, middle and bottom and use the smallest figure; add 2–5 cm each side for overlap if desired. Measure height from the fixing point (pole/bracket) down to the desired lower edge (sill or floor).
Which curtain materials suit a living room — voile, blackout or heavy decorative fabric?
Layered solutions are common: voile for diffused daylight and a heavy decorative or blackout fabric for privacy and evening darkness. Choose voile for an airy feel; heavy or blackout fabrics for drama and full light control.
How are curtains mounted on a U-profile pole and what accessories are needed?
Curtains on a U-profile are hung using runners or rings that slide in the profile and fixed with wall or ceiling brackets. You will need end caps, runners/rings and the appropriate mounting brackets.
What electric mechanisms/motors are available for curtains and are they compatible with 28 mm poles?
The assortment includes electric drives for roller and track systems (mentioned in the category text). Compatibility depends on model: roller blinds need a tubular motor sized to the roller axle; for 28 mm poles choose a tubular drive explicitly specified for 25–28 mm diameters.
How to care for textile and metal blinds to prolong lifespan?
Vacuum textile curtains with a soft brush and wash per care label, avoiding harsh bleaches. Wipe metal blinds with a damp cloth and mild detergent, dry thoroughly and regularly check mechanisms and fixings for wear.
How to choose between wooden and metal curtain poles for a Scandinavian interior?
For Scandinavian style, opt for natural or white wooden poles (e.g. 28 mm) to add warmth and texture. Metal poles suit minimalist or industrial looks—choose matte black or white finishes accordingly.
