Easy installation, 100% light dimming

Original to our 1950's minimalist traditional home, our tailgate has multiple panes of glass throughout. Although the natural light and views of our garden are great, we thought it would be nice to cover it up at times. Late afternoon when the summer sun is really hot, privacy at night in winter when there are no leaves between us and our backyard neighbor prevents one of our most excited dogs from going crazy every time she sees a bird there. . You know. The previous owners had already scratched the door with their inferior "handwork" with something like this, so the possibility of installing the curtain without additional drilling was important to me. Something that hides a shotgun blast from the hapless mounting holes of yesteryear is a plus! That shade hits the spot, PLUS the dimming options really darken things up. We took the tan version and attached it with 3M double sided tape. I cleaned the surface very well before applying and I don't think it will go anywhere. This is a low profile, not cheap, fairing that just sticks out and looks out of place. Very discreet, actually looks like it belongs where it is. We installed it in four days and the conservatory is consistently and noticeably cooler in the afternoon when it and the blinds are closed. I doubted that this kind of tint could really block the light due to highlights around the edges, but it looks like I was wrong. If you used them on all the windows in the room you would definitely end up in a cave! One bonus I didn't take into account when searching is that this shade is bold without being bulky. This means that not only does it stay completely in place with no stretching, but I can open and close the door it's attached to without rattling or rattling on the floor. Even when I was a bit careless and roughly pulled it shut, the curtain only swayed slightly back and forth. He knocked on the door a few times, but gently enough that the paint didn't scratch or make a sound. Great purchase and with a wide range of sizes available I'm sure we will be back!
