How to remove roller blinds?
There are situations when it becomes necessary to remove internal window roller blinds. The most frequent reason for de-installation is permanent damage to the mechanism or to one of the structural elements of the window covering in use. Another situation is when the roller blinds become dirty or the window is replaced or removed. Not every household knows how to remove roller blinds safely. Find out about tried and tested solutions.
What should be avoided when removing roller blinds?
When removing roller blinds, patience and precision are needed. It's worth knowing what are the most common mistakes when removing roller blinds. If you are careless, you may damage the window frame. Before removing an internal roller blind, it's also important to roll up the fabric and find out how the covers have been fixed - glued, screwed to the window frame or mounted on hooks and mounting plates.
The experience of many homeowners shows that it is better to remove a roller blind with two people than alone.
How to remove roller blinds in a cassette?
Internal roller blinds in a cassette are usually installed in two ways:
· no-drill- with double-sided adhesive tape or glue
· drill – with screws and bolts.
Before removal, you should carry out a thorough visual inspection and get an idea of the type of installation used. In the case of a drill installation, it's necessary for you to get the right tools to loosen screws and bolts. Roller shutters that have been installed in a no-drill intrusive method don't require any help.
No matter how the window guards are installed, their removal isn't complicated or work-intensive.
How to remove screw-in roller blinds in a cassette?
Removing a screwed roller blind requires great precision and patience - just a few screws need to be removed from the mounting panel. The ideal tool for this task is a screwdriver with the right diameter (a screw that is too small will not be able to be removed, while one that is too large may scratch the area around the screws, leaving unsightly scratches). In more difficult, more complicated situations, a drill will be useful.
When the screws have been removed, they must be put away in a safe place - they must not be lost, as they're needed to reassemble the roller blind (old or new).
It isn't the only answer to the question of how to remove screw-in roller blinds in a cassette. If the roller blind is equipped with side guides, the disassembly must start with these elements. How does it proceed? First, roll up the roller blind as far as it will go, then unscrew the screws holding the guide and carefully pull down the cover. Pulling the fabric out of the guide is a very important operation - do it slowly and carefully so as not to damage the fabric. Only then should you unscrew the screws from the fixing panel, pull back and remove the blind to the bottom.
How to remove stick-on roller blinds in a cassette?
Stick-on roller blinds have clamped or glued mountings that function like a vice. In theory, these should come off quickly - just grab the whole installation well and firmly but gently pull. Remember that the blinds are holding on with a fairly strong glue, so you will probably use some strength. If there is particularly heavy resistance, you will probably need to use some sort of safe solvent (e.g. extraction gasoline). Just a few drops of this liquid, dropped behind the cassette, will cleverly lead to the glued blind coming off. The solvent will also be useful for removing adhesive residue from the window frame.
However, that is not all. To fully know how to remove stick-on roller blinds in a cassette, you need more information. One strong pull will not help when removing a glued roller blind. At first, you need to move it slightly in both directions (so that the glue loosens a little), and only after that pull it towards you with a decisive movement.
You also need to use a sturdy ladder or chair to remove a window roller blind fixed no-drill. This isn't a fancy thing. As a result of pulling off such a roller blind, you may inadvertently tip over and fall.
