Window Blinds Info and Tips

Bijoukitten26 asked:


We have a venetian blind, but we don’t know how to hang it. I’m assuming it’s a case of drilling holes, and screwing it to the wall. Any suggestions or tips?? We’re hanging it from the ceiling above a deep alcove window, it’s made to measure so the size is perfect , we just don’t know how to hang it.

Can any DIY buffs help me with this one.
We have had a new roof to our house which is a large semi and has one roof pointing NE and the other south-west (so it gets most of the sun). At about the same time I put some more insulation down (it was cheap in B & Q) which made the insulation over six inches thick.
The insulation was in rolls and in a plastic covering- one orange side and one silver. The silver side is supposed to be upwards.
Since then we have had heavy condensation only on the north east roof not the other.
We also had two windows fitted on the sunny side and so this does heat up the attic. This can really be the only reason why it is warm in the attic- the insulation is too thick for it to be leaking up from the house. Is it simply due to the sun?
Today I have reversed the rolls (orange side up) where sunlight lands to see if it makes any difference.
Has anyone else come across this and if so do you think simply installing blinds on the windows would sort it out.

I know that there are various ways you can create your own Velux window blind / curtain. can anyone point me to a website that offers such advice / design?
