If you would drill into the window due to the window conditions (depth of the glazing bead), which spot would you prefer: 1) the glazing bead itself or deeper 2) the frame
Whatever is meant by "or deeper": I would use hooks glued with "Power Strips" on the frame. My hooks in the bathroom are glued (at least since the previous tenant, so for more than ten years).
standing in front of the window "lower" / below the glass strip
Oh, I see. So you mean the upper glass strip, not the side ones - therefore it is about a curtain for the whole view. For protection from being seen, half height would be sufficient for me.
