Before installation, accurately measuring the window size is the basis. To measure the width, height and window frame depth of the window respectively, the width needs to measure the distance between the outermost edges of the left and right sides of the window, and the height is the vertical distance between the upper and lower ends. The depth of the window frame determines the installation method of the curtain track or hook. If the measurement is inaccurate, the curtain may be too wide or too narrow, which not only affects the appearance, but also causes light leakage gaps and reduces the insulation effect. At the same time, according to the type of window and personal usage habits, determine the installation method, such as top installation, side installation or interior installation. Top installation is suitable for spaces with higher floor heights, allowing the curtains to be fully unfolded; side installation can increase the visual width of the window; interior installation can make the curtains fit closely with the window and reduce the heat entering from the gap.
Choosing the right installation accessories should not be ignored. The aluminum foil sunshade and thermal insulation curtain for interior use has a certain weight, and a track or hook with strong load-bearing capacity needs to be selected. For the track, it is recommended to choose aluminum alloy, which is durable, not easy to rust, and slides smoothly; the hook should be made of thick material and firmly connected to the curtain fabric. In addition, the quality of fixing accessories such as expansion screws and screws also directly affects the stability of the curtain. The specifications that match the wall material should be selected. For example, when installing on a brick wall, a longer and thicker expansion screw should be used; when installing on a gypsum board wall, special gypsum board screws or anchor bolts should be used to avoid the curtain falling due to insufficient load-bearing.
During the installation process, it is very important to ensure the horizontality and verticality of the track or hook. If the track is tilted, the curtain will get stuck when sliding, or even offset and fall off; if the hook is not vertical, the curtain will be uneven, affecting the shading and heat insulation effect. You can use a level to assist in the installation. Place the level on the track or hook and adjust it to the center of the bubble to ensure that it is in a horizontal or vertical state. When installing the track, tighten the screws to avoid loosening; when installing the hook, evenly distribute it to ensure that the curtain is balanced and prevent local pulling and deformation.
The gap treatment between the curtain and the window will also affect the heat insulation performance. After installation, carefully check whether the edge of the curtain fits the window frame. If there is a gap, a sealing strip can be installed. The sealing strip has good flexibility and sealing, which can effectively block light and heat from penetrating from the gap. For large gaps, you can also consider installing baffles on both sides of the curtain to further enhance the thermal insulation effect. At the same time, the distance between the bottom of the curtain and the windowsill should be moderate. If the distance is too large, it is easy to leak light, and if the distance is too small, it may affect the normal opening and closing of the curtain. It is generally appropriate to control it within 2-5 cm.
After installation, debugging should be carried out. Pull the curtain several times to check whether it slides smoothly, whether there is any jamming or abnormal sound. If it is an electric aluminum foil sunshade and thermal insulation curtain, test whether the motor is running normally, whether the remote control is sensitive, and set the opening and closing stroke and timing function. At the same time, observe the state of the curtain when it is unfolded and retracted to ensure that it can completely cover the window and there will be no wrinkles accumulating to affect the thermal insulation effect. If problems are found, adjust them in time or contact professionals to ensure that the aluminum foil sunshade and thermal insulation curtain for interior use is installed in place and performs at its best.
