Pikkuna clear vinyl curtains are installed on the exterior (outside) surface of your window, terrace, or opening frame, with all edges and mounting hardware facing outward. This means the PVC film hangs on the outside of your structure, creating a weather barrier that protects the interior space behind it.
Why Exterior Installation?
Installing on the outside offers several important advantages. First, it positions the weather protection where it's most effective—blocking wind, rain, and debris before they reach your living space or furniture. Second, exterior mounting keeps all the hardware (turn buttons, hooks, screws, or Velcro strips) on the outside face of your frame, ensuring they remain completely hidden when viewed from inside your home or terrace. This creates a clean, unobtrusive appearance from your interior vantage point—you see only the clear transparent film without any visible fasteners or mounting points interrupting your view.
Installation Position Details
The curtain edges attach directly to the outer face of your existing frame structure—whether that's window trim, terrace posts, pergola beams, or balcony railings. When properly installed, the reinforced fabric border of your Pikkuna sits flush against the frame surface, with mounting hardware securing it from the outside. The clear PVC film section then extends across your opening, creating a smooth, continuous transparent barrier. From inside looking out, you see through unobstructed clear vinyl with no visible edges or fasteners, maintaining your view and the aesthetic appeal of your space.
