Blackout Drapery Shade Fabric Black and Silver 100 Percent Shading Light Waterproof Sunshade Cloth Light Weight (3Yards)

I needed material to be able to control sunlight coming through some photo studio windows but really didn't want to worry about getting bulky and expensive duvatine for the purpose. I found this fabric and has worked amazingly well. As other reviews have mentioned, it feels a lot like a tent fabric would feel but there is no ripstop. It is extremely lightweight, folds up into a very thin package but it completely blocks bright sunlight with zero issues! I only need it for occasional use and installed grommets in it to make it quick and easy to hang. Putting the grommets in caused no damage and the material itself has held up perfectly around the grommets while hanging. If I need to take some of this on location, I can carry it easily in a camera bag with how light and thin it is when folded up. Much easier than hauling around a blanket-like material. It's a bargain for the price.

Yes the fabric is thin and plastic-y, a bit thicker than a plastic tablecloth. But that works for us since we use this for travel with our baby. It folds up extremely small and it's really light. We bring some thumbtacks and painters tape, and it blocks out 100% of the light.

I adhered this with some gorilla glue spray adhesive to some reflective insulation foil to make blackout window covers for my car. They worked fine and absorb a lot of light, if you are surrounded by this stuff you wouldn't know if it was day or night. The only negative I have is that the material is a bit thin (not such a bad thing), and the black can come off if exposed to chemicals. In my case a bit of the spray adhesive got on it and the black color came off of the silver base material. Not likely going to be much of a problem for most people, but it makes me wonder if it could come off easily if rubbed on anything or something like that.

We live in Arizona where the heat is so excessive from May through September that without AC I think there would be more heat related deaths. Still, it manages to get through windows and doors even with several layers of curtains. This fabric provided instant results. Literally instant, when I installed a panel I cut to cover a glass patio door. I could not be happier. This is an affordable option to cover multiple windows during the hottest time of summer days. I highly recommend. It's lightweight, easy to clip to existing curtains with simple clothes pins, and is easy to cut without having to sew hems and finish off seams.

Easy to sew, and make velcro together curtains! Would buy again.

This isn't fabric/cloth, it isn't good for a drapery... It is however good to put inside of cloth to make a curtain. Even though it is very thin, it completely blocks the light and will make a really good lining - which is the only reason I'm not returning it.

I bought this to use while on a long vacation with my family. I knew that our rental property would not have good light control in the bedrooms and wow, was I right. My kids need their sleep and I knew that they wouldn't get much of it with bright light streaming into their rooms at 5:30am every morning. SO, I bought this and some velcro to put it up over the windows in the bedrooms. This fabric is pretty amazing. It's super lightweight, very sturdy (didn't tear at all when I was working with it), totally blocks light (crazy well considering how thin and lightweight it is) easy to cut and seems like it would be fairly waterproof. I'll definitely travel with it again for the same purpose, but can think of a ton of other uses for it if I had the time to do more DIY stuff.

Cheap and has holes. I didn’t check the product in time within my return timeframe so it was a waste of money.

Great for what I wanted it for. I wanted a liner for my regular curtains as I had bought a pair of blackout curtains but didn’t like the look they gave my room. I have two large windows that let in a lot of light even in the winter. My baby sleeps in our room as well so I wanted something to take out the sunlight during nap time and early morning. I got the 4 yards cut it in hald and sewed them into my regular curtains and it works great! No cold draft and cuts the light wonderfully. Since it worked so well I have reordered for the other window as I have 4 panels in total. It doesn’t go all the way to the bottom of my 80in curtain(short just about 6 in) but my window is only 50 in long so it does the job. I’ve included a picture of the curtain with the liner sewed in on the right. The curtain on the left is a blackout curtain for comparison.

Order arrived in a timely fashio. Fabric was light weight but really blocks the sun and was easy to work with (lined 3 pairs of curtains). Would reorder if I undertake a similar project.

In what can only be described as an utter failure in home design, my master bedroom was built with 3 skylights of multiple sizes that light up my bedroom at the crack of dawn. I was unaware of how early the sun rises until I moved into my house last year. On a clear, full moon night, I can literally read a book with the lights off. I needed to find the dark, so I purchased this blackout fabric. Overall it does a great job keeping my room dark (and noticeably cooler) allowing me to sleep in until my 7am alarm clock. One minor item and the reason for the 4 star rating - I'm not sure if it is the quality of the fabric or damage done to it post-production, but there are some spots in the sheet that do let the light through. Not excessively, but when you look up at the fabric you can see some blotchy spots and streaks in different areas. If you've ever spilled bleach on fabric it kind of looks like that. In saying this, the quality of darkness is not affected, just something that you can see and it looks a bit cheap.

I bought this material to line the curtains in my little girls room and it is amazing! Super light weight and it blocks the sunlight out so well. I will definitely order again when i do my own bedroom! Thank you

great material. So thin, yet strong! I tried pulling on fabric on cut edge to see what it would do. Did not fray! Easy to work with!
