My curtain rails are all fixed to the wooden top of the window frames. If I replace the windows with PVCu, what is the best way to fix the curtain rails ?
I know you can screw into PVCu, but the screws tend to work loose over time.
A neighbour had the same issue and I did a quick fix for him putting battens on the ceiling, but it was only a temporary bodge - he probably kept it though !

Fit a batten along the top of gthe wall above the window and fit
your curtain tracks to that, or the 'modern' way seems to be
to use a metal pole attached at either end just beyond where the
lintel would stop and the curtains all have metal rings fitted
the slide along the pole.

Or do your windows go right up to the ceiling ?. In which case
a picture would help.
