Description:
This set of extra-wide blackout curtains brings calmer light and better temperature control to bedrooms and living rooms, combining practical thermal insulation with a simple, modern look that fits neutral decor. The pair of panels is useful for reducing glare during daytime naps and for limiting sunlight exposure on furniture and carpets.
Key Points
Each package contains two panels that are 70 inches wide and 84 inches long, designed to cover larger windows or to provide fuller coverage when used as a single curtain layer. The top of each panel has ten silver metal grommets with a 1.6 inch inner diameter, which makes installation and smooth sliding on a standard curtain rod straightforward. According to the manufacturer, the fabric blocks about 85 percent of sunlight and UV rays, so darker color choices will generally block more light.
Technical Specifications
- Name: ChrisDowa 70-inch blackout curtains (set of 2)
- Panel size: - 70 inches width x 84 inches length
- Grommet inner diameter: - 1.6 inches
- Light blocking: - Approximately 85% sunlight and UV blockage (manufacturer claim)
- Care: - Machine washable below 86°F, gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry low, warm iron
Advantages
The fabric is described as thick and soft without a chemical odor, which may make these panels suitable for bedrooms, nurseries, and living areas where comfort and low odor matter. These curtains also offer some noise reduction and privacy protection, adding a layer of sound-dampening compared with thin sheers. Energy savings are another potential benefit because the material helps reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, which could contribute to lower heating and cooling costs.
Usage Recommendations
For best darkness, choose the darker beige tone or layer with a lining or a second panel. Thread the rod through the grommets for easy hanging and ensure the rod diameter is compatible with the 1.6 inch inner grommet measurement. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at temperatures below 86°F and tumble dry low to keep the fabric soft and maintain the blackout properties. Consider that the 85 percent light-blocking figure is an approximate value from the manufacturer and that complete blackout may depend on window frame gaps and mounting method.
