Hi. Just a quick question about installing curtains into plasterboard
Our nan has just moved into a new disabled flat and the whole place is dry
lined (hollow walls)
She has two 3.6m wide windows which need curtains and poles / tracks.
Also just to complicate things she would prefer one of the long windows to
have venetian blinds
I've been to B&Q and checked out the fixings but my question would be how
strong is the actual dry lining itself
I'm sure I could use the correct fixings to keep the non lined curtains
held up, but what worries me is if the actual plasterboard itself falls
down

How about sanding / painting a length of 2x1 and fastening it to the
uprights behind the plasterboard?

It could be glued on, instead/as well - a good idea, Mn. Slick.


If you prod around to find them, they will be hidden by the wood anyway?

Yes, no, maybe. Is it a question, or a statement?
