Fixing to PVA window frames
On 21 Mar 2004 13:41:04 -0800, in uk.d-i-y
(Roly)
strung together this:
A friend has asked me to help her fix some net curtains to a PVA
double glazed bay window.
ITYM PVC.
How should I fasten them ?
As you would with a wooden frame.
There is no wood, just plastic.
My inclination is to drill a hole and screw into it,
You've got it. That should be fine.
but what is
likely to be behind it ?
Most probably, air. At least for a few mm, then probably aluminium.
Plenty of space to screw a net curtain hook into.
Is it strong enough ?
For net curtains, yes.
What about making good the hole afterwards if it proves to be in an
unsuitable position ? - You can's just use filler and paint. It won't
match.
If you drill the holes in the right place there'll be no need to fill
anything in.
