Curtain box&curtain rod? High performance gypsum based fiberboard with no complicated solutions
In home decoration, there is a small detail that is rarely paid attention to, not only by the homeowners themselves, but also by the designers of the decoration company. This is the necessary curtain box craftsmanship (window curtain rod) for every room. In general, when there is no suspended ceiling or a circle of top corner lines in the room, curtain rods, also known as Roman rods, can be designed and installed. But now, with the trend of light luxury and minimalist style, most home decor will choose the craft of curtain boxes. In this article, Jason gypsum board editor will focus on analyzing the advantages, disadvantages, and solutions of the construction details of curtain box technology.
As an essential soft decoration configuration for every household, curtains not only have the effect of shading, heat insulation, and sound insulation, but also are one of the important decorative items that are consistent with the overall design style. If fixed through curtain tracks, the curtain tracks must not be exposed outside, which is not aesthetically pleasing and not conducive to use. Then, curtain boxes are needed to block the curtain tracks, and from an appearance perspective, there are mainly two ways to make curtain boxes:
1、 Exposed curtain box. If there were no suspended ceilings in the original room, and the top surface was all right angles without any top corner lines, a separate "facing panel" should be made that runs through the entire wall length, leaving a depth of no less than 200mm for installing curtain tracks. This is the exposed curtain box.
2、 Concealed curtain box. Compared to open decoration, concealed curtain boxes often refer to the side hung ceiling or designed for installing central air conditioning units in a room. The ceiling directly creates grooves at the window position for installing curtain tracks, thus serving as a process for curtain boxes.
Whether it is a visible or concealed curtain box, the fundamental purpose is to provide shade and decoration for the curtain track,
In many cases, people only see the decorative side, but in reality, isn't the stability of the fixed curtains more important? May I ask if the curtains look good, but if they fall off completely in just a few months. Therefore, the processes involved in this are very particular.
In terms of traditional curtain box construction technology, the curtain track is not actually fixed on the gypsum board, but is fixed on the inner layer of the base board by penetrating screws through the gypsum board. In other words, the base board is used to bear and fix the curtain track, and the gypsum board is only used as surface decoration. This approach is because ordinary standard paper faced gypsum boards themselves do not have high nail holding force and cannot withstand the weight of curtains, so gypsum boards are installed on the base board; Is it possible to directly expose the base board without using gypsum board? The answer is no, because the base board is currently mostly made of wood, and the most commonly used ones are blockboard, European pine board, etc., which cannot be coated with putty for latex paint. In this way, the double-layer structure of curtain box technology has been used for many years, but the drawbacks of this technology are very obvious. The deformation coefficients of the inner layer of wooden base board and the outer layer of gypsum board are different in terms of cold, heat, and moisture resistance. It is acceptable to use it for a short period of time, but it is highly likely to cause cracking, deformation, and peeling of latex paint over a long period of time.
Jason gypsum board is designed to solve this inconspicuous problem with the production of curtain box technology. The newly developed Jason high-performance gypsum based fiberboard is used to design and manufacture the curtain box system, completely solving the problem of both load-bearing and decoration. There is no need for a base board and gypsum board anymore. Just use a layer of Jason high-performance gypsum based fiberboard in the curtain box system, and it is even more useful for making curtain box facing panels. Because Jason's high-performance gypsum based fiberboard has an ultra-high level of nail grip, it can completely rival traditional wooden base boards; At the same time, it itself is still a gypsum board, and the batch of putty on it should be coated with latex paint, which does not affect it at all; In addition, gypsum based fiberboard has the characteristics of no formaldehyde, no benzene, and no phosphorus, and its environmental performance far exceeds that of wooden base boards. A curtain box system that truly simplifies to the extreme functionality and also maximizes functionality, carrying the entire set of curtain soft decorations with the power of a single board. From small to large, Jason gypsum board will continuously strive to meet the needs of end users and never stop the pace of research and development.
