Project Source Gray Blackout & White Light Filtering 36-in x 72-in Cordless Temporary Shade Set

For South facing (too much) sun room

Even with an A/C, there were times I couldn't sit in the sun room in the afternoon. I replace the 2 light-filtering shades with these blackout shades in the corner windows to cut down the amount of heat coming in behind the sofa. I felt the difference right away. It was less glary & the temperature felt like it dropped 10 degrees. They are so inexpensive & are a reasonable alternative to expensive blinds if you only use the room seasonally. They'll help protect furniture & your skin. They're a m...

Great price for Temporary fix

It looks so classy and is easy to install. I don’t like the adhesive (I know it’s supposed to be temporary) but if you install it as shown on the picture (inner mount) the top peel off glue section does not adhere flat to the inner window. It sticks only on the outer edge and looks weird. I had to use to small screws on each end to make it lie down flat. I would give it 5 stars other than that issue. It blocks light extremely well. I have a store next door that has lights on 24 hrs a day with a ...

Quick results, long-lasting

These last a long time & stand up to heat well. I have a South facing sun room & my shades were up at least 4-5 years & had not discolored or become brittle in any way. HOWEVER, my over-zealous cat damaged 4 of them when she saw a MALE cat outside the window. These pop up so easily & because of the fabric texture don't look cheap. The material isn't flimsy & I even put one on my glass outside door, same South facing room for privacy.

Awesome temporary privacy shade!

These are perfect for what they are at this price. Using them for windows in an unfinished basement. You cannot see anything through them but the light filtering actually provides a lot of diffused light into the room. As others said, these are not meant to be adjusted every day, more of an open occasionally if you need to open the window deal. The adhesive sticks great to aluminum or vinyl but you might want to run a glue stick over it if you need it to stick to a painted surface.

Good for quick privacy solution

I did not realize my blinds wouldn’t fit the same when we had new windows installed. This product helped us with privacy while we decided on new window coverings. These were much better quality than the ones at the other big box home improvement store. The fabric is like that used in cellular shades, not thick paper. It does work better on a standard length window rather than a taller window.

These Are Really Handy When You Need Them

These are really handy to have and are super easy to install. We have used them when we had an addition done on the house and were expecting overnight guests before the cusom blinds came. Worked like a charm. Since then, we have had some of the custom blinds fail - in the Summer, of course, and needed to have some shade. These babies did the trick!

Great, inexpensive, effective window covering.

We bought this on a whim for a backdoor window to help cut down on heat beating through the glass. This was an awesome, inexpensive fix since virtually no heat comes through this back door glass anymore. Easy to install and looks great. Also, easy to adjust. We plan on buying several more on our next stop at Lowe's.

Be Aware

These are great for a temporary solution. However, I had to secure mine using my staple gun...they had fallen down within an hour of putting them up. I ordered the 72 in length for my 70 in tall window...they are about 10 inches short. I suppose if I pulled out all the pleats, they would be 72 inches.

Great value for areas where blinds are overkill

Easy to trim and works great as a light-filtering privacy blind for the small windows in my bathroom. We didn't really want full blinds anyway, and these cheap fabric ones work perfectly. They even come with little clips!

Description is inaccurate for the size in length

The length says 72" however it is nowhere near that. My window measures 70" long and the blinds come down maybe 3/4 of the way so they are not long enough
