I'd like to hang vertical blinds on my floor-to-ceiling windows (272 cm in height). Ceiling is concrete and has a rail already mounted.

The off the shelf solutions I see have mounts that are fixed to a wall, not to the ceiling.

  • Can I fix a mount to the white window frame shown in the picture?
  • If not, is it a good idea to remove the existing rail, and use the existing holes in the concrete to hang a mount for the vertical blinds mount? Perhaps with a right angle bracket?

Looks like the existing rail is for Ikea horizontal sliding panel shades. Just take it down if it's not what you want. Not sure if you can reuse the holes.
