P.V.C. Windows - D.I.Y.?

Question

Is it possible to s***w nails into my PVC windows to install a blind? Someone told me that it couldn,t be done as they are hollow. I wondered if there were special screws available.

Thank you

Answer 1

NO!  Don't do it.

Measure again to cover all of the windows.  The windows are most likely double paned glass and you will ruin them if you put a hole in them.

Something here is wrong.  Try again and get someone else to take a look, but, by all means don't ruin your windows.  They are very expensive to replace.

thanks

Answer 2

Just put your blinds into the trim. I would not drill into my windows.

Answer 3

they are hollow. wouldn't recommend. it's better to s***w into the wood side or top jamb.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

get some screws that come with plastic wall anchors. Drill the hole for the anchor and install the anchor in the hole.
