How to hang window blinds on a wall made out of brick or other type of window treatment that would work?
Question by jrunaas: How to hang window blinds on a wall made out of brick or other type of window treatment that would work?
We live in San Diego and the room in question gets a lot of morning sun. The room was a patio that someone enclosed with the far wall being all brick (fireplace). Where normally you would have drywall to screw in the brackets for blinds, you have a metal plate at the top of the window which the brick sits on. The rest of the house has wood blinds, but I’m up for anything – I just don’t know how to secure it. Any suggestions? Thanks

If allowable in your home, might try Liquid Nail. Can buy easily at Home Depot or Lowe’s, Its very strong, but you may have to hold the piece for a few minutes to let it set.
Without drilling into your brick this is the only option I can think of.
You could also try putting in a “roman shade” I believe they call it? These are available almost everywhere including Wal-Mart. It may not look like something you’d like but it would provide shade for you.
Best of luck!

Would you be into curtains? Because they make no-screws-necessary curtain rods… they have a spring inside and fit *inside* the window frame instead of having to be screwed in on the outside. You can find these anywhere… I got mine at WalMart.
Hanging on brick use a 1/8″ masonry bit, Mark ur holes exact where u wanted. drilling into brick gets hot fast, dip the bit in water often. they have screw u don’t need plastic insert, its easier u do. Good luck
You can get a magnetic curtain rod that you can stick to the metal plate.
