Lyuversnaya tape

This belt consists of hotmelt material on the greater width of 2-3 cm diameter rings. Bands can be of different texture - for light curtains invented special transparent tape.

Important! Duct tape - this is an optional element. Before buying a strip, make sure the design idea is not possible without this same strip. Sometimes additional seal pads spoils the appearance.

In some cases, apply to:

2. Dual Layer. First recorded much more reliable due to the fact that the mass of the adhesive applied to both sides of the tape. To protect the adhesive side of the iron for treating iron strip protected by a special heat-resistant mesh.

In order to adhere to the one-sided webbing drapes, follow this algorithm:

   At the curtain will proutyuzhennaya is such a band

2. At the edge of the folds resulting attach reinforcing tape adhesive side down. Begin to iron. Iron very carefully, without allowing changes strips.

   Tuck should completely cover the tape

How to install

If desired, the product can be set independently. To this end, the tissue punch hole. Further, on the reverse side of the web insert is inserted into the hole and from the front - the puck, then the grommet structure is fixed (it is sufficient to press on the puck, then the sleeve to a light click). If you select two-sided curtains, side of the hub location and washers are not important.

To ensure trouble-free movement of the curtains on the eaves, experts advise in the selection fittings, give preference to the products, the inner diameter is 1.5 cm larger than the diameter rod cornice.

In addition to trained, well ironed curtains and most hardware will be required:

• Measuring tape;
• needle, thread;
• punch to create holes;
• scissors;
• pencil for applying labels on the fabric.

The formula for calculating the number of holes

Before you get started, you must determine curtain model and the required number of plugs.

Calculation of holes - one example proving that school math lessons can be useful for solving everyday problems completely. Thus there is a special formula to calculate the number of plugs for curtains (x):

x = (a - 2c): 18 + 1, where:

• and - the width of the curtain;
• c - the quantity of the distance from the center to the edge of curtain rings arranged at the web edges.

If the result of the calculation is obtained an odd number - it is rounded up to an even upwards. Having defined the necessary amount of hardware, you can start to work.

How to determine the distance

The distance between the holes in the fabric depends on its type and quality. In most cases, it is from 15 to 22 cm.

If it comes to light flowing fabric - holes should be located not more than 15 cm, heavy dense curtains - not less than 20-22 cm. When you select two-sided, smooth fabric for curtains - the best option would be a step in the 18 cm.

When installing side rings other rules. They should not be located at the edge of the curtain, but it will look bad and at a considerable distance from him. Therefore, the best would be a step in the 2-6 cm.

The algorithm

1. Apply to the web layout, marking the pencil holes punching places.

   We expect the desired number of openings

2. Strengthen top curtains with tape.

   Encircle the contours of internal openings eyelets

3. Punch holes in accordance with the applied markings and install the product.

   Carefully cut out the tissue with sharp scissors

4. Carefully clean the inside part of the extra threads.
