Does one pack include two panels?

No. Each pack contains one panel, so a standard window needs two packs for a pair.

Will it block all light?

It blocks most light, but grommet tops let a little light through at the rod. A wrap-around rod reduces that.

What rod does it fit?

The grommets fit standard curtain rods. Check the rod diameter against the grommet opening before buying.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes. Wash on a gentle cycle and hang to dry, then steam out wrinkles.

Does it really insulate?

The dense weave slows heat transfer, so rooms feel cooler in summer and warmer in winter, though it is not a thermal lining.

Our take on the Ricardo Ultimate Blackout Grommet Curtain Panel

The Ricardo Ultimate Blackout is a single grommet-top polyester panel built from triple-weave fabric. The dense weave blocks light, filters UV and adds a layer of insulation against heat and cold, which suits bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms. Grommets slide onto a standard rod without hooks, and the panel is machine washable. Against lined blackout panels it is lighter and simpler to hang, but it is one panel per pack, so most windows need two, and the fabric is polyester rather than a natural blend.
