Hello
Hope someone can help. I live in a new build. Im trying to hang a custom sized blind in a window recess, but upon drilling holes, there seems to be metal running the full length of the window just after the plasterboard. It's about 20mm in, so I can't use any anchor style fixings. Theres barely 5mm between the plaster board and the metal.
The blind weighs about 6kg.
How could I go about trying to hang this?
There used to be a curtain rod hanging in front of the window, but the kids pulled that one out, so that's why I'm going the recess route with blinds this time.
Any advice is much appreciated.
