For WWF is a bowl of PLA a promising alternative:" With plastics from renewable resources, we come to the view a world without oil a bit.Material from sunlight, CO2 and waterA material that is mainly from sunlight, CO2 and water is produced, is innovative. In addition, the plastic can make a good potential for recycling, "said Eberhard Brandes, Director General of WWF Germany. "We at the new first cup corn as a feedstock for our PLA.

with panel curtains sliding effort

Who knows modern sliding curtains I do not care what nowadays very often by the privacy screen and decorate the room? How are you special shades or curtains are installed and you have to be taken later to find something closer.

That one with the decoration of the sliding window curtain is indeed a very versatile solution used by famous people. Universally for the reason because you get straight to the alternative design options much more than you're used to normal curtains and drapes. Especially the possibility of combining different scarves and curtains Curtain area is one of the main features. If one imagines that one in the lounge of many consecutive windows, which are perhaps even in the soil-incorporated, it is relatively difficult to use for the decoration of the curtain, that not only the residential atmosphere a bit loose but must remain accessible. At this point, will inevitably come to the idea of a panel monitoring system indispensable. The principle of sliding curtains only reality is quite simple and is explained below.

What do you need a sliding curtain to install software?

The answer is relatively simple, because in addition to the sliding curtain is actually only a curtain rail and if not already included in the curtains of this area, the panel drivers needed, which should be only in the number of facial curtain. On the subject of curtain rails, we want to say a few words. It is recommended for us to use curtain rods, which are equipped with multiple runs. The background to this recommendation is not to explain, because if you would like to make various shades of the panel to the curtain rail, then it should not be started directly in the face, but overlaps the curtain a bit. For this match, however, several tracks are necessary and the rule, racing, space-saving overlap here can be used as a general rule.

How do I attach to the individual sliding curtain to curtain rail?

Now we come to the real heart of this information Cortina. While normal curtains and blinds with curtain tape on each hook about clip pickup or wrinkles are skid mounted, sliding curtain is used in a very simple technology, very sophisticated. It

talks about the company with velcro panel. In this case, the individual sliding head side slopes are provided with a tape loop, which is simply click on the Velcro panel. To obtain a stable connection is guaranteed, is sewn across the width of the curtain slide of this tape loop. As in the drivers panel. Again, the Velcro strap as wide as the panel of companies, panel curtains are installed in every movement, as needed or scarf individual area or you can connect the panel of individual companies also assumes that the model used panel provides companies the ability to connect with each other through drivers.

The principle is quite simple and can be installed quickly, which is also used to advantage if you want to wash the sliding tracks. There is certainly no precedent curtains, which can be removed in this order so quickly and in shape.
