Why do we have to make curtain boxes when decorating?

Next, let's discuss how to simultaneously design the curtain box when making the ceiling? Mainly solve the following problems:

1. Do you know the classification and process of curtain boxes?

2. What are the materials and design points of the curtain box?

3. Is the curtain box of smart curtains different from ordinary curtain boxes?

Classification and practice of curtain box

1. Concealed curtain box
   Concealed curtain box is to reserve a concave wide groove at the ceiling at the top of the window, and install curtain rails or curtain rods in the groove.
   
   The concealed curtain box undertakes the dual function of receiving the opening with the ceiling and hiding the curtain.
   
   Usually, the design width of single curtain can be 150mm, and the double curtain needs to be 200~250mm. If the width is too small, it is inconvenient to install the curtain rod, and if the width is too large, the hidden effect will be poor and the appearance will be affected.
   
   At the same time, it should be noted that the depth of the curtain box needs to be 200mm in order to hide the curtain rod.
   Concealed curtain box is currently the most commonly used form in our design. Whether in the living room or bedroom, the use of this curtain box and the synchronous construction connection of the ceiling can achieve a natural transition and make the whole space complete and generous.

1. Exposed curtain box

   
   

   The surface-mounted curtain box is made on the ceiling plane to make a shielding plate that runs through the length of the wall, and installs curtain rails or curtain rods in the shielding plate.
   
   When the ceiling height does not allow or the design style requires, the surface-mounted curtain box can also be used.
   
   In the same way, we also need to take into account both practicality and beauty. The width of the single curtain design can be 150mm, and the double curtain needs to be 200~250mm. The depth of the side baffle also needs to be no less than 200mm in order to hide the curtain rod and curtain head.
   
   Surface-mounted curtain boxes are usually used in bedrooms, especially in the Nordic and modern styles that people love today. When designing the ceiling, out of simplicity, no ceiling is used for the bedroom or only partial ceiling is used to hide the central air conditioner. , the surface mounted curtain box is a good solution.
   
   
   

   

Curtain box material and construction points:
1. Materials and specifications of the curtain box
The curtain box is usually completed synchronously when the woodworker makes the ceiling, and the workers will also charge it individually according to the connection method and length of the curtain box and the ceiling. Therefore, the material for making the curtain box is the same as the material for the suspended ceiling.

A. the base
The base board of the curtain box includes blockboard, flame retardant board, etc. according to different fire protection requirements. The commonly used size specification is 2440*1220mm, and the thickness is generally 18mm.

B. surface layer
According to the project budget and customer requirements, the surface layer board can be made of gypsum board with the corresponding thickness. The commonly used specifications are 9.5mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 21mm, and the size is 2400mm*1200mm.

In some humid areas, the gypsum board should be treated with moisture-proof and waterproof treatment, and attention should be paid to: the width of the curtain box is not large, and the use of small pieces of residual material should be avoided. on latex paint.

2. Key points of curtain box design
In terms of length, it should be noted that the shortest length of the curtain box should exceed the width of the window by 300mm, that is, exceed 150mm on both sides.
In our conventional design, for the visual effect of the integrity of the wall, the curtain boxes are generally made at both ends of the wall.
This practice allows the curtains to form a complete face when closed, and to allow the curtains to move to the ends when they are opened to maximize window lighting.

3. Precautions for the construction of curtain box

A. The curtain box must be accurate and upright when making and laying out the line, and the bolt points are appropriate. The bottom plate of the curtain box against the wall must be close to the wall to avoid later deformation.

B. The installation of curtain track must be fixed on the bottom keel to ensure firmness.

C. In many hotel designs, light strips will be added to the curtain box, which needs to be taken into account during the design, and the light troughs should be reserved during construction.

Nowadays, smart home has entered our life in an all-round way, and it has also become a must-have option for many young homeowners. Of course, our designers must keep pace with the times and pay attention to the convenience and needs of users, especially the convenience and beauty of functional realization.

1. What are smart curtains?
Smart curtains are electric curtains with self-adjustment and control functions. The main function of the conventional smart curtains we contact is to open and close by remote control.
Through the one-button function of the wall panel or the remote control, the automation of curtain opening and closing can be realized. Some brands of smart curtains also have timing opening and mobile APP control functions.

2. Design considerations
When designing, the size and weight of the motor used by the smart curtain need to be considered.
However, with the development of science and technology, the size of mainstream motors is getting smaller and smaller, and the width and length are within 70mm, which is completely suitable for conventional curtain boxes without special customization.

And the motors are mostly side-mounted, which avoids the danger of long-term load-bearing of the curtain box. Usually, the side-mounted motor of about 1.5KG will not have any effect on the curtain box at all.

Usually, the length of the power cord of the smart curtain motor is about 1m, and the socket for the connection of the smart curtain is essential, which is also a point that is easily overlooked in the design.

If you can consider single track or double track in the design, and arrange the socket in the vertical line outside the curtain box to ensure that the curtain can block the line, it will make the wall more beautiful.

In addition, we also need to determine whether the curtains are single-opened or double-opened and the opening direction according to whether there are columns in the corners.

Summary: The above is today’s sharing of curtain boxes. Design is indeed a work that requires careful and insightful work. For a single curtain box, you need to pay attention to a lot of detailed design. In the projects of the friends, what else is ignored? The problem? Welcome to leave a message below~
