Curtains, as a rule, are hung on standard window cornices (crossbars above the window). These cornices are ceiling or wall, depending on the surface to which they are attached. In addition, the cornices are classified according to the type of material, and they make them today almost from everything that is possible. The most popular are metallic, plastic, wooden cornices, as well as cornices made from a combination of these three materials.
It is believed that ceiling cornices are most common, but it is wall cornices that are a traditional solution (and they are popular with designers). But cornices are divided not only by type of fastening and material. There are special types of cornices.
Everyone knows what classic cornices look like – this is a bar, on which hooks or rings are attached, which hold the curtain. But this is not the only type of cornice.
There are also string cornices. They work according to a similar principle, but instead of a bar, a stretched string is used (thin wire).
But the closest attention has recently been paid to specialized cornices for curtains, and the reason for this is the ability to bend and place them in non -standard conditions and positions. For example, specialized cornices can be launched on the ceiling, literally integrating them into it.
Profile cornices and baguette cornices are often used by designers when you need to create a neat clean silhouette of the window, because baguette cornices perfectly hide the niche, and the profiles are easily masked.
Profile cornices differ from any others in that they consist of rails with hooks fixed on them.
Ceiling paths (profile ceiling cornices) are usually useful where curved areas, bloomers, as well as doors on a patio or balcony, that is, wherever the standard path can interfere with the closure and opening of the doors, as well as where window niches are where window niches Not standard.
You can manage the intersection of the curtains manually, or you can do this using the drive. As a rule, specialized cornices are equipped with electrical control.
The most often profile cornices are made of aluminum, but if desired, the rail can be made of any other material.
If not profile cornices are placed in curved areas, then metal structures are most often used to order.
