Help!
I have made a Roman Blind to fit into the window recess for a client. It is 175cm wide and interlined, therefore quite heavy. It is to go with some dress curtains that I have yet to fit.
Client has phoned this morning to say that they just cannot get a fixing into the ceiling of the window recess. It is a steel thing in there and they spent several hours trying to fit last night with no success. It is on a wooden batten.
In 10 years this is the first time that I have had a problem like this. I have had concrete and steel lintels before, but with perserverance all have been overcome. This client is a good one, and they are not novices at putting up blinds. I have done several in the past for them. Her husband is handy with DIY, so I am a bit worried now how to get this blind fixed.
It cannot go outside the recess as it will be too narrow and too short. I have suggested 'no more nails' or something similar, as a showhouse I did once, used this for all the blinds, but I don't know if it will support the weight of a large, heavy interlined blind in daily use?
Please, please help.
