Curtains

Jun 24, 2012 10 Replies

We have heavy duty black out curtains in the master bedroom. Problem is that the sun is shinning through where the curtains end. I have tried bluetack etc to pin the curtains to the wall. This don't seem to work very well. Apart from drawing pins, 6" nails and the angle grinder does anyone have any ideas?


Rise with the sun, go to bed at sun down, save all the hassle. Early morning this time of year are really not something to miss.

Remodel the windows like this?

Frame round sides and top Velcro Painting part of the frame black behind the edges makes a difference too, as what lights comes through has bounced off the frame

Wear black sleep masks - fixed with a dab of black slilcone for extra security

Velcro - you can get it with a self adhesive backing - 100s of sellers on ebay

Why is that a problem?

And remove them in the morning with an angle grinder...

An arm that the curtain slips behind near the rail. I guess you need something that is springy enough to hold it if they are heavy duty.. I have done this, not I have the issue of the gap at the top of course where the raile is....

Without the frame do you think the Velcro will be easy to remove from the curtains and the emulsion wall paper?

Thanks to all that replied.
