    upvc window frames on the interior, and yes I'll be giving the frames a good wipe first to make sure the adhesive has the best chance of sticking.

    If its for the tiebacks, adheisive is fine, net crtains are fine too,
    for nets you can get a kit with a solid bar type thing that threads through the top and sits on pins that stick to the frame.

    self adheisive is not suitable for using net curtain wire as it needs to be taught and its like a spring.

    yep, these will be being used with rods, as the landlord doesnt want me screwing hooks into his nice new upvc windows. however, my question was about the brand - I want them to stay stuck and not keep coming loose. any recommendations in that respect please?
