The window treatment brackets are either screwed into the ceiling of the window opening or sides. For inside mount the brackets are attached to the top of the opening directly on the trim or on the sides. For outside mount the blinds are screwed onto the window trim or anchored into the drywall or into the plaster. The vinyl is not strong enough to hold the weight of the blinds.

There s no wall on either side of the window just the other window frames. Mount the hanging brackets in the correct position inside mount. The top of the window frame is flush with the ceiling so the only other option is to hang the blinds from the ceiling which seems less than optimal. Outside mount or ceiling mount.

Finally vinyl window frames can make it tricky to install inside mount blinds because the vinyl isn t strong enough to directly support the weight of the blind. Installing window treatments as an inside mount gives your windows a clean finished look allows blinds or shades to be flush with the trim or wall and doesn t cover decorative molding.

If you have vinyl windows you won t be able to screw the brackets directly into the vinyl channel that holds the window.
