Do we need weights and chains to keep our PVC Vertical blinds from floating around?”
Here is an excellent article about fabric vs PVC verticals: One additional advantage which woven fabrics blinds have over PVC vertical blinds is the weight factor. PVC weighs alot, whereas woven fabric vertical blinds weight significantly less. This difference may seem relatively little when opening or closing the blind, but a greater amount of weight means that the blind will hang straighter, and be less likely to flap in any breeze. This also means that the fabric blind will have a longer lasting headrail control system, and can use fewer installation brackets, thus making them easier to install. The extra amount of weight makes a big difference to the overall appearance of vertical blinds. http://www.articleclick.com/Article/Vertical-Blinds-from-Fabric-are-Preferred-to-PVC/941028 I think you will do just fine without weights and chains.
