How do you hang your net curtains when you have upvc windows

When I had nets I used to use the extending rods and put them on special sticky hook thingies which I got from the curtain shop. They held fast and I have a 10ft bay.

If your nets are on a heading tape you can use sticky velcro. Stick this to the window and then your heading tape should stick to the velcro.

I used the sticky pads and the extending poles method inmy last house. I had wide windows and used to stick pads at intervals along the window - usually where there was a vertical window frame. To get the curtains to hang correctly, I used to cut small holes in the top of the net so that the pole would sit directly on the hook and not pull at strange angles. I also found that this way meant that you always had your nets evenly spaced (assuming you cut your holes in the right place the first time )

This house is easy - no nets :D

My DH works for a well known window company, & they supply net curtain poles which are glued on to the frame, using a special glue which fixes to UPVC.
It might be worth contacting the supplier of the windows to see what they recommend.

we had this problem with a heavy metal blind when we had new windows.OH put a piece of wood above the pvc frame and we papered and painted it to match the wall and then hung the blind from it.

exactly what I've done after seeing this method in new houses with upvc windows
