I tried to replace the blind which became terrible based on past reflections

The blinds on the window of the office of GIGAZINE editorial department are wholly irregular as the edge is bent or why. If it is a curtain, it can be replaced with a bowl, but since the blind seems to be not so easy it has always been patient and used. However, we decided to replace it by judging that it is about time.

Even though someone did not break, why was the current blind bent, why did you think about the cause, this time consider things that last as long as possible, consider thoroughly and pick up the items.

Details of blind selection from the following.Tachikawa blinds | interior comprehensive manufacturers around windows and partitions

This is a blind that is getting dreadful. You can see that the right edge is bent.


The price of this blind was 8480 yen in width 175 cm × height 98 cm.


Looking like this when it is near. Not only is it bad in appearance, it can not even satisfy "blocking external light" which is the basic function of blinds.


As a result of investigating why it was bent, I understood that this blind is taking the operation method "Paul formula". In the pole style, lifting and lowering of the whole blind is carried out by pulling a string, and the rotation of the louver is carried out by turning a pole attached to the blind. It seems that the louver was bent by raising and lowering the blind while the lift was caught on the edge of the louver at some clapping time. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening this time, I decided to buy a blind of non-pole type operation method.


Other methods of the pole type include one pole type, wink type and others. The one selected this time is a one-pole type where a string that raises and lowers the blind is inside the angle adjustment pole and both opening and closing and raising and lowering can be done with one pole.


It was opened. Last time I bought a product that focused on cheapness by no brand, but this time it was made by domestic famous manufacturer. There were many choices in the same price range including other companies' products including the same price range, but because there was a titanium oxide coat treatment and it was expected to be durable, Tachikawa blind " Silky "from the selection. Incidentally, it is 170 cm in width × 103 cm in height and is 10 2723 yen.


I took it out.


from a different angle. "One pole" is beside the main body.


One pole part.


Instructions and brackets used for mounting are included.


The bracket looks something like this. That's why I attach it with screws.


There are two types of blind attachment methods when there is no curtain rail: "ceiling attachment" and "front attachment", which have features such as "showing the window frame" and "not showing the window frame" respectively. In order to enhance the light-shielding property this time, we made it "front-mounted" instead of "ceiling attachment".


First measure the position of "bracket" which is a mounting bracket precisely with a measure, and mark with a pencil or the like.


Marked.


Position the bracket so that the center of the bracket comes to the center of the mark.


And let's set up screws in the end and let's screw with the screwdriver with a screwdriver.


One bracket was completed.


Make the wind on the other side similar and mark first.


After marking ......


Screw the screw with the screwdriver.


It's in the middle. Let's mark at even intervals from the brackets at both ends.


Goose green.


When the installation of the bracket is over it is time for the blind body to finally come. It will be completed if you catch the catch at the top of the main unit and the hook on the bracket well and push it upward.


Then let's drop the blinds with one pole.


Although it may not be able to get down easily with the stopper for the first time, in such a case pulling a little strength strongly is OK.


I got off.


You can open and close the blind by turning the one pole.


In the previous blinds the string that had been caught in the louver is contained in the pole. This should prevent the blinds from being damaged.


It began to play the role of shading and perfect.
