Blinds Isolite

Choosing a sun protection system on the windows, it is sometimes difficult to understand a wide range of blinds. The design should be not only effective, but also beautiful, preferably - durable. One of the best options is the Isolite blinds system, which appeared on the market about 15 years ago, but has already gained popularity in many countries around the world.

Effective protection from sunlight

The Isolite sun protection system is an aluminum construction with horizontal lamellae. It was originally designed for fastening to plastic windows, but now such blinds are fixed on wooden and aluminum window frames.

The main feature of the system is the method of its fastening - directly on the sash.

At the same time, the structure is fastened both from above and below.This fastener allows the blinds to fit snugly to the glass in any position of the window (open, closed or airing), without cluttering the window sill.

In this case, the whole structure has a small weight and does not overload the window frames, does not contribute to their deformation.

Another distinctive feature of Isolite is the presence of only one chain to control the lamellae.

Advantages and disadvantages

The features and material of the construction give the Isolite blinds many advantages - compared to other sun protection systems. Their indisputable advantages include:

  • Maximum protection interior from sunlight. The technology used allows such blinds to reflect 20% more light than other systems. At the same time, the lamellae themselves remain cold even on the hottest day, preventing the air inside the room from overheating.
  • Reliability and durability the designs guaranteeing long service life.
  • Ease of Management, which facilitates operation and minimizes the risk of breakage.
  • Versatility - suitable for any kind of window.
  • Stylish and modern design - the system harmoniously fits into the composition of the window and any interior.It can be used alone or in combination with curtains and curtains.
  • Compactness - tightly adjoining the glass and the frame, the blinds do not interfere with the use of the window sill.
  • Corrosion Resistance - all components are made of aluminum, which easily tolerates even wet cleaning (without the risk of rust).
  • Easy installation - with the installation of the structure can be managed independently, without the help of specialists. Because of the design features, blinds are installed on each leaf separately, which gives additional advantages in controlling the intensity of illumination.

In addition, these blinds are quite affordable and very diverse in color.

As for the shortcomings of the Isolite's sun protection design, they can be attributed to the fact that it is necessary to drill the window frame when installing the blinds. However, the system is made in such a way that the drilled holes are completely invisible - they are securely masked with decorative plates.

Design

Horizontal Isolite systems consist of 25 mm wide thin lamellas with polymer coating.

The design also includes:

  • Aluminum box in which the working mechanism is located.
  • Decorative and protective eaves. With fully open blinds, they hide behind this eaves.
  • Side plugs.
  • Guide elements, which used the fishing line.
  • Control chain Its location may be different, but most often it is located on the side.
  • Special threads from polyamide. Of also called "ladder". With their help, the slats are rotated and fixed at the right angle.
  • The tapes providing raising and lowering of lamels.
  • The fixer attaching the lower ends of the fishing line to the bead. The control chain is also fixed.

Control of the system is carried out in the same way as in other sun-protection structures - to turn the slats, it is enough to pull the control chain.

Range

The Isolite sun protection system is distinguished by various color and texture versions. The most popular are blinds with slats "under the tree."

A standard 25 mm slat width is ideal for regular and large windows. For small windows in the range of manufacturers presented blinds with slats of reduced thickness - 16 mm.

Models can also vary according to the type of control - more and more often there are systems with an automated variant of opening and closing.

As for the color range, you can find examples from classic white to bright shades (orange, pink, blue).

Operating rules

Due to the special coating of the slat, Isolite blinds do not accumulate dirt and dust, do not absorb odors. To maintain their purity, it is enough to periodically wipe them with a dry cloth or with a special brush for blinds.

In case of severe contamination (for example, when the structure is located on the kitchen window), the surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth moistened with soapy water. In this case, the lamellae can not be squeezed, twisted and rub hard.

Important! In the case of wet cleaning, moisture should not be allowed to enter the cornice mechanism and control system. To extend the life of the system when washing windows, it is worth collecting it in a box.

Criterias of choice

One of the first characteristics that you should pay attention to when choosing - the type of blinds. The most commonly used vertical and horizontal products. The performance characteristics of those and others are about the same. However, vertical products are considered more durable, and classic horizontal ones are more compact and affordable.

Important! Blinds of the Isolite system can only be horizontal.

The design of all models of this system is about the same. Choosing these sun-protection devices, it is necessary to pay attention to the harmonious combination of the product with the surrounding interior.

When selecting colors, it is worth remembering that each shade has its own reflective ability. The most effective reflectors will be bright lamellae system.

In addition, experts advise for windows in small rooms to choose bright options that visually move apart the boundaries of the room and make it more comfortable. In spacious rooms with large windows, darker shades look great.

When choosing a color, it is necessary to take into account the purpose of the room: for bedrooms and children’s, for example, you should prefer lighter and warmer tones, and in the living room you can use bright unusual designs.

Do-it-yourself system installation

As a rule, the system is made to order - in accordance with the size of the window. If you are going to drill the holes for fixing the blinds, the design must be “tried on” again.

To do this, all the lamellae straightened, and the curtain is applied to the glass.Alignment is carried out until the glass is closed completely, without gaps.

Finding the correct position, you need to fix the eaves. After this, the drilling points are marked.

Drills with a diameter of 2 mm are used for drilling; they should be deepened no deeper than 0.2 mm.

Then the eaves are applied and fastened with screws, after which the guide cables are fastened. They are also first aligned, noting the attachment points on the lower bead, and then fixed and hidden with a plug.

After this, the blinds are straightened and all working systems are masked with decorative elements.
