Blackout Curtains for Bedroom, Portable 100% Black Out Window Cover Film, Cuttable Blackout Shades Fabric Sheet, No Drill Window Blinds, Sun Heat Light Blocker for Travel Media Dorm, 57” W

Effective blackout solution
This was much easier to install than the static cling alternative and more effective than curtains since it covers the whole window and reflects more light. My picture shows regular blackout curtains on the left and this product on the right – covering the smaller window. Just covering the two small windows in that room helped cool it down a bit.My only problem was not being able to iron out the creases but that didn’t affect it anyway since I pulled it right when sticking it to the dots on the wall. It would have been a bit easier to measure precisely if I could have made it totally flat but that didn’t seem worth taking off a star, especially since it maybe possible but I was too nervous to increase the heat on my iron past the very low “synthetics” setting.I was impressed by how easy it was to cut without damaging this very thin fabric. It didn’t fray at all when I used scissors, exacto knife, or a sliding paper cutter.The dots are very sticky but I was able to reposition the one that I accidentally put on the painted wall in the wrong place (without damage to wall or loss of adhesive power). The Velcro also sticks to each other very tight and seems to be high quality. I have not tried using the other adhesive dots yet.

Needs small upgrade with purchase. A-
I’ll start with saying that this is a 5 star product with very minor issues that kept it from earning perfect praise.I am a nightshift worker and these made sleeping during the day much easier. In fact i have issues sleeping to well and to long now! It’s so dark i can’t tell the time naturally anymore. The material itself is good quality. Easy to work with but not flimsy either. There is not a glimmer of light that comes from my windows. And i can tell it helps keep a bit of the heat/cold out from the windows as well. I don’t think it can be considered “stylish” or looks good. But if you hide it behind curtains it is fine.Now the only criticism! I don’t feel like the very small velcro circles provided does this product well. Do they work? Yes. Do they work well? Kinda. Light will still slip through if you use these. Instead you can do what i did and buy a inch wide roll of velcro and cut to measure down all sides. Put on side on the edges of the window and the other on the product. I have it so dialed in that you can’t see without a flashlight in there now!

Not that great
Update!!!I’m not removing my first review just updating after a few weeks of use. I’d say the material is nice and it does black out the window. It keeps some heat out of the house but the area around the window is still quite warm! Does it reflect heat I’m not really feeling as though it does. I feel like I could put an emergency blanket up there for better heat reflection than this. Not to mention they sent a stapler to staple the velcro on the corners BUT this doesn’t work… it’s not just the velcro that sticks to the material it’s also the one that sticks to the frame of the window. The corners fall all the time…. the velcro is worthless and i am going to have to improvise with some command straps. I don’t want to use the non removable white sticky dots sent because I don’t want to have to go through the pain to scrape them off. I’m taking 2 stars off my original 5 star review for quality and in ability to keep heat out.All in all I kinda feel like I wasted money.Ok hear me out, I live in sothern California further east away from the beach… it gets HOT here in the summer and our AC can’t hack it. I tinted my bedroom window and my sliding glass door because those don’t recieve direct sun all day long. My dining room and living room windows are on the same wall where they both get blasted by the sun.I haven’t seen how well it keeps the heat out just yet but I can say it’s easy to install!!I may make a modification by sewing the velcro pads on to the fabric as yes they don’t stick well to it when trying to remove the fabric from the window during the evening time. I may also eventually change the velcro altogether with long thin strips rather than the dots so it’s a consistent strip.All in all I’m happy.
