- Does this pair really block all light?
- It blocks most light, but not every sliver. Bright direct sun can still show at the top and sides, so add a wrap-around rod or overlap the panels for a darker room.
- What size window does a 72 by 72 pair cover?
- For a gathered look, plan on roughly 1.5 to 2 times the window width, so the pair suits windows up to about 48 to 72 inches wide. The 72-inch length works for standard windows, not floor-to-ceiling glass.
- How do I hang these curtains?
- The hidden back tabs slide over a rod and gather the fabric as you go. You can also thread a rod through the rod pocket for a flatter look, but the tab header is the intended style.
- Are they machine washable?
- Yes. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble low or hang to dry. Skip bleach and high heat, which can damage the blackout coating.
- Do they help with heat and noise?
- The heavier weave adds some insulation against drafts and dulls outside noise a little. Treat that as a bonus, not a substitute for insulated windows.
- Is black the only color?
- This listing is the solid black option. Joydeco makes the same panel style in other colors, but check the size and header match before mixing.
- Where is the Joydeco 72-in Blackout Back Tab Pinch Pleat Rod Pocket Curtain Panel Pair cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $39.91, as of our latest check.
