Hello there, one panel measures 52 inches wide on both sides and is the same color. Regards.
1 3/4 inch in diameter on the inside. It would be simple to slide a thin curtain pole.
I bought these to reduce noise, but they have almost no effect; I would not recommend them if you want to reduce noise; I am looking for a better solution.
I agree with the previous comment about noise reduction; in fact, I purchased this product specifically to reduce noise in my office, but primarily for the opposite effect you seek. I'd like to be able to work without having to hear my kids running around. However, through these "Noise reducing" curtains, I can hear my child cough softly on the other side of our 3000 sq ft house. I'd say they're ineffective, which is why I'm returning them so quickly.

I bought these in two colors: olive (for my son's woodland themed nursery) and chocolate (for our living room) and am extremely happy with them. Allow me to respond to some of the criticisms: br>br>Allow me to respond to some of the criticisms: br>1) the curtains I ordered were all the same length (I bought them all at 52x95 and they were all the same); br>2) No, just washing won't get rid of the wrinkles. I looked up "getting wrinkles out of polyester" on YouTube, followed the instructions, and my clothes are now wrinkle-free. br>3) If you want complete darkness, you'll need a combination of products or different curtains; however, I suffer from migraines and am sensitive to light, so these are perfect for me. These rooms used to get a lot of light, but now they're dark. Is it completely dark? No. But it's very dark. br>4) In full sun, I believe there may be a slight thermal reduction; br>5) Unfortunately, there is no noise reduction. br>br>Hey, here's the deal: They're fantastic for the price you're paying. I'm laughing at all of the complaints I've seen. True blackout curtains start at $100 per panel and go up from there. Each, to be precise. br>br>You only paid $37 for two. Is there anything else you're looking for? They're squishy. br>br> They are successful. They're on the same page. The colors are beautiful. Mine are floor to ceiling and have a modern, sleek appearance. br>br>Perhaps I was fortunate. Not likely. In any case, I'm ecstatic.
Lighter colored curtains, as they stated, do not block as much light as darker colored curtains. So, if you want a completely dark room, I wouldn't recommend the grey-toned option. The color white. However, they're ideal for my needs, and I adore how the color pops against a white background. I had originally planned to use all white curtains, but I'm glad I changed my mind. The backs of the curtains don't have a lining, so they're the same color as the fronts, which I like; you can see direct sunlight hitting my curtains in my photos. To keep the light from leaking through, I tucked the curtain into the window sill in the second photo. These curtains are in my living room, and they work perfectly to keep the sun from glaring on my television during the day. (You can still see where the direct sunlight was shining on the screen in the fourth picture, but it's not that noticeable when watching TV. ) So if your window gets direct sunlight for the majority of the day, I'd go with a darker color. For my 95" wide window, I needed four panels.
We didn't realize how noisy it was until late at night, when all the trucks were passing by. Between us and the highway is nothing but open space. When I bought these curtains, I was skeptical that they would actually block out a lot of noise. I understand that stacking bath towels can effectively block almost all sound, but it's also quite unsightly. The interstate noise was reduced to a low hum by using these curtains. Last night, I was able to sleep for a few hours. br>br>When combined with my existing blinds, they also do a good job of blocking out light. They do appear to be of good quality, and the color is true to the image.
These curtains are a huge letdown for me. The grommets are a gleaming chrome that looks like it's made of plastic. The curtains are all crooked as well. A curtain could be 45 1/2" wide on one side and 47" wide on the other. They're hanging up in a bad way. On some panels, the hems curve up, rather than being straight. They also flare out and don't lay properly. It's a pity because the material has a nice look and feel to it. They also block a lot of light, which I really like. These will have to be returned. When I have a chance, I'll try to upload some photos.
When it is turned on, it is not as effective at keeping the house cool as it once was. During the hottest part of the day, the sun shines directly into their room and into the living room. As a result, their room raises the temperature throughout the rest of the house. I decided to purchase this for them after recommending that they use a dark blanket to block out the sun last year. They did it for the entire summer last year, but not this year. br>br>As their room also faces a toll road, I can speak to this as well, as we do not have sound-proofing. windows that are bulletproof br>br>Right away, these curtains are a hit with my father. Because he works night shifts and sleeps during the day, he is the most likely to use these to nap during the day. The sun is probably blocked 95% by these curtains during the brightest time of the day, while 4% makes it out the sides, and up and down, and the last 1% coming through br>br>My parents have no blinds to assist them in any way. I believe there is more light coming through because I bought them the chocolate color to match their room rather than the black. Black absorbs color the best, so if you're light-sensitive and don't care about appearances, go with black. If you're not picky, the brown will work in a room if you're not picky. br>br>In terms of the heat, simply turning off the lights has made the upper level of our house much cooler. I don't believe it's possible to remove light without also removing heat. I don't believe the fabric itself dispels heat in the way some may hope because it isn't made of double layers or special material. Is it able to remove heat? br>br>Is it able to remove heat? Yes. Is it going to act as a barrier? NO. br>br>On the subject of sound, I mentioned that we live next to a toll road. This claims to deflect a lot of noise, but I believe it's similar to the heat situation, in which simply placing it against your window muffles the sound a little. I went into my parents' room and could still hear the cars speeding by through the open window. I'm certain the noise would have gone away if I had closed the window. br>br>For my parents, the noise from the cars has become almost white noise since we have lived in our house for over twenty years. They've grown accustomed to it, and the blinds don't seem to make a difference. I didn't get it to block out noise, but it does help. br>br>I purchased this to help with the heat and to block out light. I didn't buy it because of the music. I didn't get much proofing, but I did get a little of it. Would I say that this product accomplished what it set out to accomplish? Yes. My parents don't have to worry about their room turning into a sauna if they don't use the air conditioner, and if they do, it will work more efficiently because the curtains are in place.
These aren't "blackout" curtains at all. I bought two sets in light grey for each of my windows, and because I didn't have time to fuss with them and return them, I had to buy two more sets. This dims the room a little, but if I'd known I'd have to buy more, I wouldn't have bought them in the first place.
