Bought these for my kitchen window to help block the heat of the midday sun. The dogs are locked in the kitchen while we're out of the house and during the summer months it gets really hot in there,even when we prop the door open, using baby gates to contain the beasts, and face the portable air conditioner directly into the kitchen. These helped cut the temperature about 10 degrees. They're also keeping it warmer this winter as there's no heat source in the room.Don't worry about the dogs…

I know many people were complaining about the wrinkles but after ironing them out, they remain unwrinkled and perfect for my living room cum guest bedroom. So thick I NEED to open them in the morning for my room to have some sun so I wont use the lights.Perfect good quality.

Our bedroom faces East toward the morning sun and our living room faces West, we have an older home with single pane windows and have suffered from the heat when the sun shines on either side of the house. Our blinds didn't do much and we ended up getting cheap-o curtains at first but knew we'd need something else, so over the YEARS I have hunted for true room cooling, blackout curtains. I was initially skeptical because even in store 'blackout' curtains didn't actually block out any light, but

Miuco blackout curtains are easy to hang with multi colors to choose from. good modern look and feel to my living room. Blackout curtains help minimize window drafts and leaks.
