These are our second pair of these curtains and they are fantastic! They provide enough privacy and blackout for night and day time! The length was perfect and holds its value! Would recommend these and will probably buy more once I need them!

Honestly at first the price did seam quite steep, but after putting them on they were exactly what I’d seen advertised. Definitely worth the price of you can afford.

Was thinking that the 52 inch one was too long, but then later realised that it helps to block out the sunlight at the bottom

And if your wondering if the white glitter on the curtain is the sunlight it isn’t, it’s just the materials on the curtain itself, so the sunlight is only coming out the sides.

To reduce expenses and to help protect the environment, in early 2021 our household started taking a number of measures to cut our energy consumption. Those measures have proven successful: total 2021 electricity consumption in our single-family, detached home in the US SE was about 8,000 kWh (3,200 of which was for HVAC), compared to about 11,000 kWh annual average in previous years. [UPDATE on 1/1/23: our total electricity consumption in 2022 dropped even further to just 5,500 kWh (1,600 of which was for HVAC) for the year. We have HALVED our electricity consumption. Huge savings.]

Much of our attention has been on our windows. In addition to improving energy efficiency, we have thought about privacy and, in certain rooms, blocking bright light (to allow for sleep by day, for photography and video production…). With all this in mind, we are very pleased with our LEMOMO Black Thermal Blackout Curtains. They’re thick, solid, soft to the touch, and – when installed from ceiling to floor – they do a superb job of blocking even the brightest sunshine.

We left our existing curtains in place and installed the Lemomo curtains on top of them. This meant that we needed curtain braces that extend several inches away from the wall. We found something that does the trick beautifully: TEJATAN – Double Curtain Rod Brackets (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W9FZJJ9). We can also recommend the rods we got: Ivilon Drapery Window Curtain Rod – End Cap Style Design 1 Inch Pole. 72 to 144 Inch Color Black (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9QCX9N)

Here are some other products we purchased at Amazon that we can recommend to those interested in cutting home energy consumption:

Kuman KW47-US Electricity Usage Monitor Plug Power Watt Voltage Amps Meter with Digital LCD http://www.amazon.com/Electricity-Monitor-Voltage-Overload-Protection/dp/B07DPJ3RGB Looking back, we can say that purchasing a Usage Monitor Plug has been one of our wisest and most useful moves, and a very inexpensive one at that.

Klein Tools TI250 Rechargeable Thermal Imager: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089QW8R9S This tool, along with the Usage Monitor Plug, gave us a very good picture of where we were wasting energy. It was thanks to this tool that we realized, for example, that our then uninsulated recessed lights were really problematic, prompting us to purchase the following.

AcuRite Wireless Indoor Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Sensor: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T0K8NXC We got two of these to go with our AcuRite weather station. They allow us to monitor temperature and humidity in four places at once: outside, in our living room, in our crawlspace, and in our unfinished attic. Thanks to these readings, we have established a smarter, more energy-efficient way of ventilating our crawlspace. They also helped us see that our attic needed additional ventilation in the roof, prompting us to purchase the following.

Love these drapes. Excellent quality. Great fit and BLACKOUT !! Highly recommended

I own a true “Tiny Home” and wanted lavender curtains. These are a bit darker purple than I had hoped, but they are good quality and I am very happy with them! I don’t believe that they really qualify as “blackout” curtains as they don’t have the backing on them. This pic was taken during the day and you can see they let very little light in, so they are close to blackouts. I bought them for more privacy and the color. I’m pleased with them and they close together better than my previous curtains.
