Recessed ceiling blinds made of gypsum are currently among the most favored types of window treatments due to their outstanding advantages in terms of aesthetics and convenience during use. However, because this type of blind is relatively new compared to others, many people are still unfamiliar with the effective methods of installation and construction. This article will introduce this type of blind and provide guidance on selecting blinds for recessed ceilings to achieve the highest aesthetic effectiveness.
How is recessed ceiling blinds?
Recessed ceiling blinds are a type of window treatment installed within the recessed groove of the gypsum ceiling, optimizing space and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the room. These blinds are designed so that the blind box is concealed within the ceiling, thereby saving space and preserving the interior's aesthetic charm. Recessed ceiling blinds are commonly used in upscale constructions, adding a touch of luxury and modernity to living spaces.
What is the ideal size of the blind box when installing the product?
Typically, the gypsum box has dimensions starting from 20 cm. However, the installation method may vary depending on the specific type of blinds being used:
For blinds such as Venetian blinds, roller blinds, and Roman blinds, the minimum size of the recessed ceiling box should be 8cm.
If you want to install double-layer fabric curtains, the minimum size of the recessed ceiling box should be 20cm x 15cm (width x depth). This size ensures that when you pull each curtain panel, they won't rub against each other, preventing the remaining curtain from being pulled along.
For single-layer fabric curtains, the minimum size of the recessed ceiling box should be 15cm x 15cm, sufficient for smooth movement of the fabric curtains and harmonious integration with the interior space.
To ensure the ceiling box can support heavy fabric curtains, gypsum installers will reinforce it with additional frames or wood, enhancing its strength and durability.

Typically, this type of blinds uses a regular fabric layer and a sheer lining layer like voile due to its lightweight, thin, and attractive material. The main advantages of double-layer recessed ceiling blinds include their ability to block sunlight effectively, reduce noise, and provide good thermal insulation.

Depending on your preference, you can choose between single-layer or double-layer ceiling-mounted blinds. However, aesthetically speaking, double-layer ceiling-mounted blinds always elevate the elegance of your home significantly.
4. Considerations when installing recessed ceiling blinds
Despite its many outstanding advantages and high aesthetic appeal, the biggest drawback of recessed ceiling blinds is the complex and intricate installation process. This is also the reason why many customers hesitate when choosing this type of blinds. Without careful preparation and proper design, the blinds will not only be difficult to install but also may not achieve the desired aesthetic effect.
Therefore, it is important to adhere to several factors to ensure the highest quality for your curtain blinds.
4.1 Choosing Suitable Accessories for Curtains
When installing ceiling-mounted curtains, regular disassembly and cleaning can be more challenging. Therefore, it's important to choose durable accessories like aluminum curtain tracks. Aluminum material allows for easy removal by detaching the rail, and it offers much higher durability compared to plastic or wood, reducing the risk of damage during use.
4.2 Arranging Interior Accessories
In some cases, contractors or designers may overlook the fact that ceiling-recessed curtains will extend all the way to the floor, potentially obstructing lights or air conditioning units placed directly above doorways. This situation should be absolutely avoided as the curtains will obscure these fixtures. Additionally, in certain scenarios, you may need the assistance of a team specializing in the production and installation of curtains, as each project has its own technical specifications. Therefore, do not hesitate to seek advice from curtain installation experts to ensure the best possible outcome.
