Fixing a net curtain to a upvc frame?

duckeggblue

I have a window,full length,with a door right next to it.
I would like to put a cafe style half height net curtain on the window BUT ,one side is right in the corner,the other side is the upvc door.
Is there any way of fixing this eg a curtain rail with suckers?Hopefully someone will give me any easy answer to this!:D

Buy a curtain rod and hooks .Peel the backing of the hooks and they will stick to the PVC .
You can also get a hook to support the centre off the rod if needed .

Make a small drill into the UPVC with drill bit and screw in the tiny hooks..........

Hi,

if you don't want to drill holes, and work with sticky stuff, you could get something like this, it's spring loaded and will take weight of net curtain.

If you search you may find it cheaper, this was just the first one that came up in my search.

I used to work in a shop that sells Net Curtains, and for UPVC we usually suggested the sticky hooks. Net curtain is light so sticky ones are fine to support it, although if it's quite wide, a centre support, also a sticky one, would be reccommended to stop the pole sagging in the middle. Ones like these, although you can get them cheaper, ours used to be about 45p. C&H sells them too for a similar price. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-Net-curtain-rod-rail-hooks-adhesive-sticky-brackets-/360246941261?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Curtains_Blinds_CurtainFixtures_Accessories_EH The centre ones obviously just have a U shaped type bit on instead of the upright metal bit!

we got all of ours from wilkinson store, though sometimes the stickies aren't sticky enough so need a little glue!

without drilling the hole, the best idea is to install by net curtain rods, which is spring loaded and very easy to load onto the UPVC window, good quality net rods will never be falling off.
there is another way that use net curtain wire, but you have to screw the hook into the UPVC window and there is small hole lefted. some suppliers can sell the powder electuary to fill the hole which will be invisible when you screw off the hook or eye.

powder electuary??? What is that???

The stick-on hooks fall off eventually, in my experience. If/when they do, stick them back up with glue. I used bostik clear glue, and it seems to work quite well - none have fallen off yet.
