A question for those more experienced that myself! In previous properties our lintels were concrete and whilst they were a pain to drill into once the hole was sorted you stuck in a fixing and job done.
In our new(ish) property the lintels appear to be steel. I have been asked to put up some blinds and domestic management want's them fixed to the top of the window rather than into the sides so whilst I can drill a hole through the plaster and then through the steel I find that there is a void which means whilst the fixing looks okay it's really only just about hanging onto the surface and it's just not solid which isn't ideal for a blind which will be pulled downwards when putting up/down. My question is whether there is a specialist fixing I can should be using that will give a more solid result. I hope this makes sense!! TIA
