Window Blinds Info and Tips

bjv24th asked:


Just moved into an apartment that has aluminum or metal window frames, any ideas on window treatments? I don’t wont to drill any holes in the walls and the blinds provided don’t offer enough privacy and too much light coming in at night?
Help, please.

My new apartment had floor to ceiling aluminium framed windows. Obviously, at the moment it is a little like living in a “fishbowl”! I would like to hang some verticle blinds from the aluminium frames. How do I fix the blinds to the frames? Do I need to drill the frame and put plugs in? If so, what plugs and screws would you recommend?
Thanks in advance..
The windows are recessed. I am the owner of the apartment and my lease says that I have to put some kind of drapes / blinds up. They just didn’t give me any advice as to what and how! Thanks for the answers so far.
