I have fitted blinds to my PVC windows. It is very easy and all blinds should fit except fabric roller blinds, which will have to be attached to the wall.
If you are fitting a venetian type blind, the fitting instructions is in the pack with the blind.
You will need a cordless electric drill, a very small drill bit, smaller than the fixing screws to hold the brackets that the blind sits in and a screw driver.
Two brackets go at the ends of the blind and two in the middle to support weight.
It is very simple and straightforward and should take no more 15 mins to fit.

I wouldn't consider fixing a blind to a PVC window. Its not so easy to get a fixing and drill in the wrong place you could damage the glass or the seals. The correct place to fix is in the head reveal above the window.

I'm guessing you're talking about PVC window frames/trim. PVC can be worked much the same as wood. When installing, it is cut, nailed, screwed, routed, etc., exactly the same as wood. Just get some blinds and screw the mounts directly to the PVC.

yes, the blinds are fitted so that the screws actually go on top of the pvc window and not into it

You are not supposed to attach blinds to the window directly - but to the sides or the top of the window opening (I think the top is called lintel) This is what you suppposed to measure when you ordering your blinds - the width from one wall to another in the window opening, and the height from the lintel to the windowsill. Otherwise - you can get a whole new window nowadays with blinds built-in inside of it already.
Hope this helps.

Johnny B offers the initial/ correct answer sussinctly,,,no offense to any other. If the reveal exists it is likely framed in 2 x 4's beneath drywall or whatever finish material covers your adjacent walls. Mini Blinds; etc. ; have brackets obviously; that offer various configurations in that they have multiple holes. You can either screw each bracket into the TOP of the reveal/ The SIDES of the reveal, or both, and fit in the BLIND mechanism.

For something lightweight, like net curtains I screwed a couple of small cup hooks into the PVC. and fitted a curtain wire. For a heavier blind I am not sure.if the plastic is strong enough to support it.
