| Vinyl and aluminum siding |
Velcro attachment - By now you've heard us talk about nailing, screwing and staple gunning, something you would never do on vinyl or aluminum siding. For mounting using Velcro attachment, generally the adhesive-backed Velcro will adhere without reinforcing it with a staple gun. Unlike wood, vinyl and aluminum are not porous and don't absorb moisture. Our adhesive is an acrylic-based adhesive and is very strong. It does however, have a curing period, so that upon adhering your Velcro, you should wait 24 hours before attaching your curtain. You will also need to secure the two upper corners of any panel with either marine snaps, eye-screws and curtain hooks, or some other improvised fixed attachment. |

| Tracking attachment - Our tracking can only be mounted with wood screws which gives you two options. You can either locate a wood stud beneath the vinyl or aluminum, or you can perhaps mount a 1" x 2" wood strip to your ceiling surface and then screw the track into the wood strip.
Securing the sides of your curtain - This is generally where you really don't want to make a screw hole. Magnets won't adhere to aluminum or vinyl, but they will adhere to another magnet. In this case we recommend the tethered magnet technique whereby you adhere a magnet to either the vinyl or aluminum siding and stitch a magnet to the side binding of your curtain panel. |
