Blackout curtains use a lined or triple-weave fabric to block most of the daylight from a window. Panels differ in width, in how they hang and in how strong a claim the maker makes about light blocking, so the word blackout in a title does not guarantee the same result across listings.
The six sets below are all 84 inches long. Widths, hanging styles and light-blocking figures come from each product’s listing page, and we flag where a title and a bullet disagree. We have not used these curtains ourselves. Every light, UV and insulation figure is the maker’s own.
