I did not really purchase these for a complete blackout effect and in my opinion they are not the best curtain you can get for that purpose, but they do a pretty decent job of blocking out light. I have them in my front window which faces north and has an awning so there is no real direct light yet some still get through when they are completely closed.The ones I had previously did a better job for sure, but they had a backing material that helped to prevent light penetration. These do not have that backing and reply solely on the thickness of the fabric. However, the previous curtains I had were ruined when I washed them and dried them on a low setting and the backing material stuck to itself causing the fabric to peel and leaving areas the light could penetrate with no problem.So my intent this time was to get some curtains that were well made, looked good, hung nicely, blocked about 90% of the light when needed, were affordable and were easy to clean - since I smoke I like to be able to wash them once a year or so. These curtains check all the boxes and at a very reasonable price.If you are looking for a complete blackout curtain this might not be the best option. If you are okay with about 90% blackout these should serve you well and are a solid value.
