Wall cornices are different. Let us consider in more detail the existing varieties of these elements that are present on the market today.

• Flexible are framing cornices. The slats present in them are distinguished by an unusual and attractive section.

• One of the oldest are string wall designs. Such species have been used for a very long time, but they are not the most reliable and durable. It is not recommended to attach heavy curtains to such eaves.

• Rail curtain rails are convenient to use. They have a special hook fastening system, which is necessary for hanging curtains. These parts are attached to special rollers moving from the inside or outside of the guide rail and holding it.

• For windows of non-standard forms suitable curtain rods. Such options are most often purchased for round openings and rooms with radius walls.

Also, cornices have different modifications.

• Single row varieties. For registration of such eaves the uniform plane of cloths is used. Single eaves are the most simple and affordable.
• Double row cornices They are universal bases for the installation of both regular curtains and light tulle or thick curtains. They are convenient to use due to ease of installation and beautiful design. Wall two-row cornices are the most common models.
• Three-row cornice ideal for creating beautiful and multi-layered curtain ensembles consisting of a layer of tulle, thick curtains and a beautiful lambrequin.

In different versions of the eaves there are different types of fasteners. The most common are straight parts that are attached to the wall, side piers or to the space above the window opening. There are also side brackets. Such elements are fixed on two opposite parts.The eaves can be installed between the walls or directly in the window opening (on vertically located slopes).

Today, the most popular are the ceiling and wall cornices. In order to understand which type is more reliable and practical, it is necessary to consider in more detail the properties and performance characteristics of both options.

The main advantage of ceiling models is that they can be supplemented with maximally long curtains. Such details can visually increase the height of the ceiling in the room. If you decorate a small room with such a kit, then it will seem more spacious and attractive.

Wall varieties of eaves are ideal for living rooms with high ceilings. They will effectively complement and complete any interior. Also, such instances are more affordable cost.

Many buyers opt for ceiling options, as they can be made "invisible." People like the interesting effect of curtains soaring above the floor. The choice of a suitable eaves also depends on the style of the interior.For example, for classical and frilly ensembles, wall variants are suitable, and for such areas as hi-tech or minimalism - ceiling.

Each type of eaves has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to say which option is the best. Much depends on the layout of the room, its size and style, as well as personal preferences of the owners.

Today in the shops you can find high-quality and durable cornices, made from a variety of materials.

• The most reliable and durable are metal products. They have been popular for many years, as they easily withstand heavy loads. These varieties can be complemented by heavy and thick curtains. Metal eaves look organically in many interiors: from luxurious baroque to laconic hi-tech. Durable metal constructions consist of a bar, on which curtains and tips are hung.

• If you want to decorate the decor and give it a special style, then you should get an exquisite forged model with an intricate pattern. These types easily maintain the weight of even the most voluminous curtains.The most common are forged eaves, stylized antique. With the help of such luxurious details you can transform the situation in the room and make it more elegant.

• No less popular are aluminum curtain rods. They are lightweight. However, this fact does not affect their reliability and durability. The main advantage of aluminum structures is their ease of installation, long service life and convenient operation.

Most often eaves from metal get for a lunch zone or bathrooms. This is because such parts are not afraid of high levels of humidity and temperature extremes.

• Eco-friendly wooden eaves. Most commonly, tree species such as oak, walnut, cherry or alder are used for their production. As a rule, wood from which eaves are made has longitudinal fibers. These details attract attention and stand out against the general background, forming a beautiful natural pattern. Modern manufacturers produce high-quality copies that can withstand several textile layers.

• Plastic moldings are the most practical and flexible.. They can be cleaned with a simple wet cleaning. It is worth noting the universality of such structures and their discreet appearance. Thanks to these characteristics, plastic curtain rods look harmoniously in almost all interiors. Today in stores you can pick up cheap plastic models of various shades. This material is easy to paint.

The main disadvantage of such eaves is their small strength. Plastic bases can hardly withstand heavy loads. Under the weight of heavy curtains, they can be deformed and sag over time. Get rid of such defects will not work and the design will have to change to a new one.

The length and diameter of the cornice base are interdependent:

• models with a length of 190 cm have a diameter of 16 mm;
• options with a length of 210-220 cm - 19 mm;
• maximum lengths of more than 220 cm (3, 4, 6 meters) have a diameter of 25-30 mm or more.

The choice of a suitable wall cornice should be approached very responsibly.It should be as durable, quality and reliable.

If you want to buy a curtain rod for thick and heavy curtains, then you should choose more durable and reliable options. For example, it may be wooden or metal cornice. Cheap plastic or string copies for such curtains are hardly suitable, since they are not designed for such loads.

When choosing a cornice, consider the following parameters:

• Dimensions of the product. Too large and massive models are hardly suitable for small rooms. In such conditions, cornices with thin bases will look harmonious.
• The size of the room. If you choose and install the eaves correctly, the area will visually appear more spacious and the ceiling high.
• The size and format of the window opening. So, for a rounded window, it is better to choose a flexible cornice. If we are talking about the attic window, then it can be supplemented with an interesting double model.

If it is not correctly calculated, the material will be dispensed at the site of the obstacle. The eaves should be in style to the interior of the room. For example, luxury models with artistic forging will look organically in frilly ensembles, wooden cornices with carved details in classic ones, and simple white plastic products in modern ensembles in high-tech or minimalism style.

Before installing the wall cornice, you must decide on the fasteners design. To do this, consider the weight of the curtains and the material from which the walls are made. For brick walls use special cork plugs. They are made of wood. As a rule, similar parts are driven into pre-prepared holes, after which a structure is attached to them on self-tapping screws.

Let's take a closer look at how to hang a wall cornice beautifully:

• First need attach it to the wall and decide on the height at which it will be located. It is also necessary to align the structure before its direct installation.
• After that you need align the part in the plane. Most often, this process is carried out using the construction level. However, there are often cases when a plate with a window opening has an uneven surface, and it will not be possible to level the eaves using this tool. It is possible to solve this problem only by outweighing the structure.
• Consider the curvature floor covering.
• After you wfixed the position of the eaves and chose a place for it, you will need to put labels in the locations of attachment of the eaves holders.
• Now you should stock up with a perforator and drill. Using these tools, make holes in the marked areas.
• If the finish and composition of the wall allows, then for fixing the eaves, you can use dowels of 6 mm and a length of 3-4 cm.
• After that as you make all the necessary holes, you need to blow out dust and drive dowels. Now it is possible to fix the holders with a screw.
• This procedure must be made with all remaining holders.
• Thereafter it is necessary to fix the eaves and make sure it is firmly held.
