eclipse Kendall Modern Blackout Thermal Rod Pocket Window Curtain for Bedroom or Living Room (1 Panel), 42 X 63, Grey

As far as inexpensive blackout WHITE curtains go these are pretty great! They're not 100% light blocking but they get the job done, my husband must be part vampire and I'm more of a light and bright type so these are a happy medium 🥰 we previously had black blackout curtains and are currently doing some small renovations and redecorating and I couldn't stomach the total darkness anymore so I bought some beautiful linen curtains and white sheers and because they barely shielded our massive living room window from the very hot Oklahoma sun, it not only put a horrible glare on our TV but our window ac unit could not keep up with cooling our very small living room anymore and because I loved the look of the new curtains so much I devised a plan to keep them but had to figure out how to also stop the sun from beating through with such force It could potentially cause spontaneous combustion which is where these come in. I bought a tension rod measured the inside of the window and scoured Amazon for 2 straight days looking for something to fix the problem without taking away from the look of my very light new curtains and something as absolutely cheap, without being cheap, and these fit the bill!!! If you're looking for 100%blackout you'd probably get that with the black or another very dark color of these but I needed a light color and therefore knew it's next to impossible to achieve vampire mode without spending a small fortune. These are very light weight and thin but still do a pretty good job so I'm confident in recommending them. The pictures are at 7:30 am before the sun really starts beating down on our window and the light is off so in the first picture all curtains are closed, the second one is the blackout which are behind the curtains you see are open, and the 3rd is outer curtains open and 1 blackout closed and one open so you can seethe differences, and the dark strip across the top of the window is our feeble attempt at blocking the light without having to buy curtains so we bought window tint which definitely helps but it was not the darkness we needed in order to go window naked so we're currently in the process of trying to find a better quality tint that allows us to see out but nobody see in, however I will say that the tint coupled with these blackout curtains are a good combination, if you made it this far thank you for reading, I apologize for the lengthy review but I wanted to give you an idea of what to expect as I find it quite frustrating when people leave vague reviews like "it was okay" or "these are terrible" I read a lot of reviews because buying online is scary and I want to know why it was good or what was not so good so I do hope this review is helpful to someone 😀 also my window measurements INSIDE THE FRAME are 52 in length by 75 in wide and I got 2 of the 54 in long white panels which fit perfectlyAlso I purchased these in the lime green and they are a really fun bright green which gave me the pop of funky color I was looking for in my very black and drab bedroom

Overall I'm happy with these. I bought Ruby and it looks slightly more pinkish-red than the pics, but still very pretty. These have a white* thermal lining, which I wanted, not the black lining of most "blackout" curtains available on Amazon these days (I've tried several!). And they're not super-super heavy like all the other "blackout" curtains I've tried lately that are "3 layers" woven with the heavy black lining. These seem to be doing a very good job blocking light and heat (I need the heat reflection properties most). Although these are not supposed to be 100% blackout, they're more blackout than the so-called 100% blackout curtains I've tried recently. I'm not using them in the bedroom (where I do NEED 100% blackout), so don't need 100%, but I think these would likely work in the bedroom. The length seems accurate, though I haven't unpackaged and hung them all yet to double check that they are all the right length. Did not notice any stitching/construction problems/irregularities (again, haven't yet looked at all of the panels I ordered). There's no awful chemical smell, even with the curtains getting very hot hanging on a very sunny south-facing window.Those are all problems I've been having with other so-called blackout curtains I've been trying that I'm NOT having with these, which seems miraculous. They were also quite inexpensive.My only real concern is trying to wash these because of the stiff, plastic-y material (especially the "foam" thermal liner backing). I've had similar thermal-backed Eclipse curtains over the years, and even though they are supposedly washable/dryable, sometimes they have kind of fallen apart when washed (bits of lining comes off) or the lining sticks to itself... so, I may not try to wash them (that goes against my nature!). They are quite wrinkled, even after hanging for a few days, so I might try to steam them rather than risk washer (cold) and/or dryer (low) for wrinkles.These are definitely not gorgeous, soft, flowy curtains, but no blackout curtain is. They do have some nice texture and are matte-finished, unlike all the weird plain super smooth and "shiny" blackout curtains I've tried during my search over the past couple of months. And these Ruby curtains are much nicer looking than most of the drab or weird-looking grey/beige/brown blackout curtains commonly available online.*[Update note: after opening my remaining panels--all are Ruby red, I discovered the white thermal back lining is actually slightly pink on some of them, though it does not at all look like these were previously used/washed. I'm not sure why/how the white lining turned a bit pink. I'd prefer the backs were all really white for better heat reflection, but hope these slightly pink ones will still work well.]

I bought white panels for privacy in windows that are too close to the neighbor's house. In white, they serve as more of a shade rather than blackout. Since there's no view other than the neighbor's house, I didn't need an adjustable shade. Stationary panels that stay closed fit the bill. I put two panels per window, on a 2.5" continental tension rod, and they fill the 54" long window opening perfectly. By the way, the rod pocket and the hem are identical, just simple open pockets of the same size. Two tension rods, top and bottom, could also be used.I really dislike stiff new curtains with fold lines hanging at the window. So, before hanging, I got brave and machine washed mine in cold water, no detergent, and then machine dried on extra low heat. The tag says to line dry, but they came out fine. This softens the material. I then ironed them on the fabric side only with a warm iron. This took out 90% of the fold lines, and the panels look and hang much nicer, especially with the thicker rod to fill the rod pocket. Some people won't like this polyester fabric with a slight sheen (it can look cheap). Since they *are* inexpensive, try washing and ironing them and you might be surprised how nice they can look. I suspect damage from washing comes from a) too high heat, or b) weakening of the rubbery lining on the back after sun exposure.The thermal qualities might not be the best in the world... The panels are thin, and while they do help, I would recommend using them as one layer of curtaining and weather protection, not by themselves.

Advertencia: Estas cortinas NO son blackout. Regresé el producto porque pasa toda la luz durante el día y noche. Las cortinas son de un material muy delgado, no traen ningún tipo de recubrimiento que bloquee la luz natural o artificial. No las recomiendo para nada.

Compre 4 de estas para mi sala y cuarto. El producto viene completamente sellado y limpio, lo cual agradezco, lo unico que desmiento es la capacidad de "filtrat" luz, si se reduce en buena parte, pero aun asi se puede llegar a pasar mucha luz, en mi caso tengo a unos metros luces de pasillo y aunque no molesta, si deja pasar luz. Para mejor efecto, emplear junto una cortina gruesa de forma secundaria (y tambien ocupas un soporte doble como este: Decopolitan Urn Telescoping Double Drapery).

WAS ON THE HUNT FOR A PURPLE/LILAC/LAVENDER CURTAIN FOR MY BATHROOM AND CHOSE THIS OVER A ROYAL PURPLE ONE I HAD MY EYES ON.... NOT UNHAPPY WITH THE COLOR, BUT I AM UNHAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT THIS IS BASICALLY A PIECE OF MATERIAL WITH 2 HEMS (TOP HEM AND BOTTOM HEM ARE EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE) .. THE MATERIAL IS PRETTY STIFF AND DOESNT FALL NICELY IN MY OPINION.... YES, I CAN SEE THE PICTURE...YES, IT IS JUST A BASIC ROD POCKET PANEL (WHICH IS WHAT SWAYED ME IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS CURTAIN AS OPPOSED TO A GROMMET CURTAIN), YES ITS BLACKOUT...IM JUST NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS AT ALL OTHER THAN THE COLOR...IT IS PRETTY MUCH DEAD ON TO THE PICTURE... BECAUSE I NEEDED A CURTAIN FOR MY BATHROOM, I WILL KEEP THIS FOR NOW AND TRY AND DECIDE ON A BETTER SOLUTION....IN MY OPINION, THIS DRAPE (YOU ONLY GET ONE) WOULD BE SUITED FOR A REC ROOM OR BASEMENT ....NOT IN MAIN LIVING AREAS....ITS JUST TOO STIFF AND DOESNT FALL NICELY...IT KIND OF FLARES OUT....JUST MY OPINION AS I MENTIONED...FOR THESE REASONS, I WOULDNT RECOMMEND THIS DRAPE

For starters, beware this is only a SINGLE curtain. Despite the deceptive picture showing two hung curtains. Nothing in the title to indicate a single curtain. It’s not until you read WAY down in the description does it mention single curtain. Shame on you. Secondly, this is NOT A BLACKOUT curtain. Not even close. It’s nearly transparent! Cheap material, and deceptively advertised. Stay away.

La cortina está bien, un poco delgadas, quite dos estrellas porque en la descripción dice que son blackout y ofrecen un obscurecimiento total, la compré para mi dormitorio y no obscurecen nada, son bonitas y elegantes pero dejan pasar mucha luz; las recomiendo para una sala u oficina, pero no para un dormitorio, tomar en cuenta las medidas porque son angostas, compré dos para cubrir toda la ventana.
