I have two windows I am installing blinds for. Mounting them grub the top isn't going to work, there's no room. Behind is the vinyl window frame. Is it ok to mount to that? I added a picture The window
They should also come with instructions on how to outside mount. Have you already bought them for inside mounting? I'm thinking if you did, they will not be the right size, since they should be wider to cover the trim also.
If there's not room at the top, then there wouldn't be room to inside mount at all, would there? I can't tell from the pic. It would be better to outside mount on the wall in this case.
I think he/she is saying the shape of the top stop doesn't have enough flat to work. In most cases I never want to drill into the window. I'd rather drill a new hole in the endcap of the blinds that is back far enough to work. Often all it takes is a well placed pilot hole where the stop has a flat spot. You also don't typically need 2 screws in the top. If you can do one in the top and one in the side that's great. But if you can only do one in the top it will be sufficient.
But if you don't mind holes in the vinyl, and you never plan to take the blinds down, go ahead. Those holes just can't be repaired easily.

I am looking for heat reducing home window tinting. Not permanent. I want a light color because we need the light from these windows, but the heat is damaging things. Thank you
So we recently bought a home built in '58 that needs some work. The interior doors all need replaced but they have an odd jamb setup that I have never seen before. All of the jambs are 3.5" deep with walls that are pretty standard 4 9/16". The doors that are in now all seem to be standard widths.
My question is this, is it best to rip this all out to get standard depth jambs so we can trim out the openings, even if it means sacrificing door width? I would think I would have to get narrower door units to shim them out. I have not cut back the surrounding drywall anywhere to see how the existing jambs are mounted yet.
