who is responsible for hanging curtains in modern houses?

Question

the underlying point is that when windows were made of wood they incorporated hooks to support the curtain rail-now the upvc windows leave no option but to screw in a curtain support and rail separately above the window
incidentally i can see how the net curtain stretche
after two nightmare days of being turfed out of bed by poles replacing the windows i was then left with no curtains
i need the latest in curtain technology bearing in mind that the section above the windows seems to be composed of plasterboard and flakes when i try to insert a nail;who is responsible for this fiasco or have i finally become feeble minded?how much for the equipment or any other suggestions short of defenestration
i can see how the net curtain stretched between the two hooks but i am damned if i can see how the two plastic bits with the screws through them secured the curtain
my revered ancestors on both sides were builders and i have to admit that this question is beginning to seem like a wack job
