20 Best Length For 300 Blackout (2023 Updated)

Due to delays in construction, et al, I did not get the lovely black curtains up until several months after receiving them. I opened the box, expecting to press them prior to hanging – NOPE! The folds dropped out of them before my eyes! Shortly they were hung in place and are everything I wanted: ABSOLUTELY light-blocking, marvelous rich elegant look (they hang from just below the ceiling) and slide along the rods smoothly.

Especially given the most reasonable cost, they are everything I was planning for my south-facing Great Room. Bravo!.

These are gorgeous. Feels like silk and humongous so perfect for a massive wall of windows and 10’ ceilings!

Have nice weight to it. Love it. Wish they have more color selection.

I was ready to return these because after I ordered them, I noticed one hidden picture on a review that showed a black liner. So beware, from the outside, you will have a black curtain! And I was using them in our large living room windows.

Also, as others noted, “white” is more of a pearly gray. I happen to love it next to my darker gray walls. I decided to keep my sheer white curtains in the middle and close the blackouts for privacy at night.

It looks less like a shower curtain. And I used 3 panels per window. I was pleasantly surprised at the feel and quality of these. I don’t usually like shiny curtains but this has the right amount of sheen.

And as long as you thread them with the seams inside, they look fine from the street. (otherwise you see the white against black seams). I haven’t tried to iron these yet, as you can see. I haven’t had much success ironing with a “cool iron” in the past and it’s a pain.

These pics are right out of the bags. Overall, I was expected to be disappointed with this delivery and ended up being thrilled! These will provide the nighttime privacy I want and look very nice during the day! As long as you’re aware of the color and black liner, I think you’ll be happy with these for the price! I am!.

I received a Sun Zero Norman Textured Thermal 100% Blackout Grommet Panel. It’s a grid textured design and is machine washable which is a plus for me. I love the neutral color as it can match with everything around the house.

Sun Zero Total Blackout technology has been tested to block out 100% of light, reduce outside noise by up to 35%, and decrease energy lost through your windows by up to 35%. This is very useful as our bedroom is close to the busy road, and it’s where the sun rises.

The thermal properties will help keep summer heat and winter chill out of your home. Also, this has built-in metal grommets so it’s easier to slide-through on curtain rods up to 1. 5″ in diameter. As our window rods were installed exactly as the width of the window, you can still see a little glare of light on the sides.

Though you can see how it blocks the sunlight. This’ll be very helpful whenever my husband is on nightshift.

Seller is great and the quality is nice! The seller provided me with free samples to help me in choosing the fabric, responded to my questions in a very timely manner. The curtains were also shipped quickly.

I ordered two 12-foot panels and just placed an order for two more 12-foot panels and 2 15-foot panels. I’m so excited to get them all hung up. They totally transform the space!.

I was having the a hardest time finding curtains for the windows in my living room because the ceiling is 20 feet high. I got several quotes from department stores and custom curtain makers but I was going to have to choose between the curtains and my daughter’s college tuition.

I found the curtains on Etsy and Irina sent me free material swatches. The curtains were ready quickly and are perfect! I ordered 3 pairs and they are all perfectly even. They look great and were so affordable and well made.

I highly recommend this shop.

I am so happy with my 18. 5 foot panels! The linen fabric is gorgeous and the stitching is perfect! The turn around time was quick and they arrived carefully folded and individually wrapped in plastic within a heavy duty cardboard box.

They were wrinkle free when I unfolded them. It is next to impossible to get a shot of them from floor to ceiling because of the height of my family room, but they drape beautifully and the quality is excellent! I would highly recommend this vendor!.

I highly recommend these curtains. I live in AZ, have direct sunlight in my bedroom and while unlined, they do a fantastic job of blocking light. The fabric is beautiful, soft, rich and elegant to touch.

They look beautiful open and closed. I’ll buy another panel for my daughters room and perhaps even for the lounge. They are a bit more expensive, but comparing with reviews on Amazon blackouts, these are a safer, proven and tested solution.

You can’t go wrong. And the color is true dark gray, not quite charcoal, but rich and full gray.

The fabric is very soft and certainly is a good thermal insulator, but not a complete blackout curtain by any means. This is ok in our space, but if you are looking for total darkness you may want one of the poly lined curtains.

On the bright side these have no odor, something I have heard a lot of complaints about with other curtains. The fabric is super soft, a bit wrinkly and not sure if I can iron or steam as it says dry clean only.

The grommets are super smooth and they open and close easily, plus they are weighted at the bottom. All around good thick curtains, although calling them blackout is a bit misleading.

Looked and looked for the right curtains for our bedroom. These are beautiful. The color is exactly what we wanted (think charcoal). The length and width are just right and they are black out. They are so luxurious and add a real dramatic flair to our master.

Completely satisfied!.

I bought these curtains for my living room and I love them! The white part of the design is darker and more of a taupe rather than a cream or white but are still pretty! They are made with a thick durable fabric.

Even my husband said how much he liked them!! I only gave 4 stars due to the color being slightly darker than the picture. Other than that I would highly recommend this product !.

I paid $206. 40 for these curtains. They are nothing close to the photo. This is one of two orders I’ve made. Return practices with this company ate deceptive and the products they sell you can do better at Walmart vI requested.

These curtains have a beautiful color and design. They match our paint perfectly. I would give them five stars, but I don’t care for the fabric. It’s very slinky and shiny. Because they matched so well, I kept them but would have preferred a cotton fabric or at least a cotton blend.

My fault for not paying closer attention to the fabric type.

The description is misleading. it should clearly state there are two small panels that put together will cover a 50″ wide panel. I laid my fabric panel on the floor, then positioned the two panels on top, and used the rings with fabric clips with teeth to hold them together.

Then I hung the panel up; you can’t see the liner material at the top. This added some body to the top of my panel, since the material was very flimsy. They do include fabric pins and a way you could attach the panels using the pins, but my fabric was not strong enough.

The liners are a heavy material and make the panels look more substantial. I tumbled them in the dryer to get some of the wrinkles out. A lot cheaper than trying to buy fabric to line my drapes, and now my guests can close the drapes to keep the room dark in the morning.

These are great. I use them with curtains hung on curtain rings. Understand the 54” is made up of two 27” halves, so as long as the area you’re covering is 54” or less, they’ll work. My curtains on each side are wider than 27” on each side, but it doesn’t matter, because I never have a reason to pull them more than half way across.

I was also concerned about these looking bulky under my curtains when the curtains are pushed to the side. They don’t. They lay flay and very nicely and look no different.

I put the first set of the Eclipse Thermalayer curtains up behind the main curtains in the window that gets the hot afternoon sun. The room I put them up in gets the late afternoon hot sun directly in through the window!!! Then I had to open the second set of the thermal curtains and get them out of the package.

I felt of the first main curtains and then felt of the curtains that did not have the thermal liners behind them. The outer curtains that had these thermal liners were already cool to the touch!!! The next morning, the hottest room in the house was cool all day!!! I have already ordered more for the other two bedrooms.

And I will be ordering more for the rest of the house. We have an older home that there is no place to put insulation because there is no attic. I just used the rod pockets at the top of the thermal curtains to install them.

1st. LOVE THIS CURTAIN. We’ve had the spice color (burnt orange) for almost 2 years now and then we moved and the room we put it on has an extra window so we decided to buy another one. Besides the fact that the price is perfect, the product it self is awesome.

It definitely blackout the window and it is thick. It does not look and feel cheap at all. 2. This is why i can’t give 5 stars like i originally wanted to. For a month i have been battling with BBB about the vendor sending me the wrong color.

The plastic package it came with does say spice but the panel itself is the chocolate color (another color available base on the site). Long story short, after 4 shipments, 8 customer agents and 5 weeks of phone calls to BBB we had enough.

We only lasted this long because we already have 2 curtains but this was stupid. BBB agents was nice but all they did was wait and wait wait and promise this and promise that. Nothing was happening so we finally stoped the order and cancelled the whole thing.

Goodluck to the others. I’ve also had the agents tell me that it looked like they had other claims besides mines regarding this panel being shipped wrong. Other than that it is an awesome panel.

I ordered linen colored for my bedroom. They block all light and look very nice hung. Overall I’m very pleased today. But, here’s what I experienced that makes me think they will not last more than a few years.

That’s why I give 3 stars instead of higher. – I hung them in the closet for a few months (got delayed putting them up) and not a single wrinkle straightened. So I had to carefully iron them on their front with steam and low iron.

– NEVER iron on the back. It stuck to the iron and removed the backing, thankfully just a 1 inch square. That square has total light coming through it and looks bad. Good thing I did it at the bottom.

– While hanging in closet, the grommets made green spots on the curtains, like when you wear bad jewelry and your finger turns green. They came out with spot cleaning of mild soap and water but it was so irritating.

So the grommets are some poor quality. – After my experience of the grommets and the backing, I do not think I will wash these ever. I believe they will not make it through. It’s too bad that I suspect they can’t be washed based on what others said and my experience with the iron.

They really look sharp, slide nice on a rod, and block light well.

After spending weeks looking for the perfect curtains and reading tons of reviews, I finally settled on these curtains for my living room. I purchased them over a month ago and they have yet to hang in my home for more than a few hours.

The toxic smell coming off of these is unreal. I have small children and a husband with allergies and the fumes were taking over my whole house. I have washed these curtains twice (the second time rusted the grommets) and they have literally spent every day for the past month hanging on my clothes line to try and air them out with no improvement.

I would have serious reservations about purchasing them to hang in a small childs room as a room darkener. The chemicals used on the backing of these curtains cannot possibly be good for the health of anyone.

I never write reviews on anything I buy, but feel compelled to warn buyers. Yes, I am disgusted over the waste of almost $70 on 4 panels, but am more disgusted that a company can have such disregard for the health of it’s customers by using toxic materials.

I formed 300 AAC cases with a Lee die which are acceptable with this gauge. They do not fit in my new rifle which is to a minimum headspace. I bought Federal ammo which fits my rifle fine but fails the gauge.

I bought SB forming dies to correct the problem with the Lee dies and they produce brass like the federal which runs fine but fails this gauge. Lyman notes a disclaimer that case that are. 010 -. 020 under in the neck to base may still be used.

This is because this gauge is actually not to the true SAAMI limits. It is a subjective reference.

Bought this to insure the brass I was reloading for a 300AAC Blackout would be uniform. Unfortunately, the old saying “looks good on pager”. Here is the problem, the chamber on most AR style Bolckouts is no uniform.

With that in mind a tolerance in measurements of 100th of an inch will result in a round not cambering. This could be a potential hazardous problem, with a round firing that has not been fully chambered.

The only sure way is to use a micrometer, painfully slow, but much safer. Again I can only speak for the AR type rifle.

I have used this product for several years. They are extremely valuable when reloading for semi-automatics especially AR-15. I initially bought one for my 45 ACP and have since purchased one for all my rifle’s and handguns.

Since using this product I have never had any jams. Every bullet cycles smoothly.

Using to convert 5. 56 to 300 Blackout. At the 300th case, the inside neck expander had worked loose and stripped the threads on attachment shaft. Have tried to order replacement parts and not buy the whole die set, So far no success.

First time using RCBS die sets. Lesson learned, every 100 cases remove decapping part and inspect. This die set comes highly recommended by many reloaders for “forming” brass conversion to 5. 56.

I bought these dies to load. 223 Remington. The dies do a great job. Just make sure to use a case lube when sizing the cases or you’ll be sorry. I use Hornady One Shot with great success and haven’t had a stuck case yet.

I’ve been reloading straight wall handgun cartridges for over 35 years. One die that comes with carbide handgun dies is a neck expanding die. This set of dies only come with a sizing die and a seat/crimp die.

When I try to place the bullet heads into the case I have a heck of a time because they don’t want to fit because the neck of the case has been sized to what seems to be the same diameter of the bullet head.

So, because I’m used to having the neck of the case expanded I also purchased a neck expanding die. Some people may disagree with expanding the neck of the case but let me tell you, by using a neck expanding die you’ll immediately be able to tell if the case has any neck cracks, which should be discarded immediately.

These particular dies give you the option of giving a roll crimp or a taper crimp when seating the bullet depending on the bullet head you use. Read the directions that come with the dies. The most difficult process is seating the bullet to the proper depth.

If you’re using a bullet head that has a cannelure the seating depth is easy to determine. If you are using a bullet head without a cannelure I recommend that you use some type of caliper type micrometer to assure the overall length.

One process I use is when setting up the dies for seating and crimping of any caliber is that I use a sized, flared, un-primed and un-powdered case and use a trial and error method to achieve proper bullet depth seating and crimp tightness.

After I’m satisfied with the results I use a kinetic bullet puller to remove the bullets (which are seated at all different depths) re-size the cases again then prime & powder the cases, place the bullet head in the case and start loading the bullets, knowing that the seat & crimp die is properly set.

I have used lots of different brands of dies; Redding, Wilson, Forster, Hornady, Lee, Lyman and RCBS. Comparing apples to apples I will pick RCBS over Lee or Hornady. RCBS dies just work, I like the decapping assembly of the RCBS much more than the Hornady.

I’ve broken several Hornady decapping assemblies but never broke an RCBS, or a Lee. I like the RCBS seater die better than the Lee or the Hornady. It has no moving parts to cause problems like the Hornady and no cheap aluminum like the Lee seater die.

The fit and finish of RCBS seems to be better than Lee. Also RCBS has excellent customer service if you ever have a problem they will send you a replacement shipped free!.

I ordered 10 panels for my living area windows. They are very nice but I’m rating them a 3 due to the panels being very creased and wrinkled. I’ve already spent 8 hours steaming these panels and they still need more steaming.

Also while steaming the panels 3 of the panels have snags. I don’t want to go through the hassle of exchanging them so I will keep the panels. I would like to suggest to Egyptian to find a different packaging method so these panels are not so creased and wrinkled.

A plus is, they definitely blackout my living room.

I absolutely love and recommend buying these curtains — they are very beautiful. I will say, the colors are slightly off from how they are pictured – but not dramatically so. I bought the purple, navy, green, and black curtains; The green are a bit darker than pictured, though the black ones were pretty strait forward.

The purple were a bit lighter than I expected, but still beautiful. The navy ones were also a bit darker than I thought they’d be. Nearly black – very dark navy, but I like them anyway. They are almost like a midnight black – they are going in our bedroom, so it has a nice feel to it.

(They look almost a bit grayish blue in the picture to me, but they are just a really deep navy blue. ) The backing on the curtains is of good quality, and they look stunning in our rooms. I did wash them in cold water, and dry on medium as the instructions say, and recommend ironing them as they tend to hold their fold marks really well.

If you are looking for a nice blackout thermal grommet panel, though, look no further – these are fantastic.

These are EXCELLENT blackout curtains. I suffer from migraines and live in sunny South Florida in a very sunny and bright coastal apartment. While I love the brightness, it can be murder when dealing with a migraine because of light sensitivity.

In addition, my apartment is right over the pool, so the big security floodlights shine right into my bedroom. I hung these curtains last night. I am happy to report that it was pitch black in my bedroom when I went to sleep.

They also filter out some of the noise. NOTE: The photo shows the curtains to be ultra shiny, which I was afraid would be too “a la Scarface/80’s look”, however, they are not nearly as high-sheen as shown.

They have a sheen to them, but it is more of a raw silk type of look which I like. The silver grommets give it more of a casual than a formal look. Once out of the package, I sprayed them with Downey Wrinkle Releaser and then tossed them into the dryer on Medium for 10 minutes each with a dryer sheet–80% of the creases came out.

The curtains themselves are nice and thick and feel like quality material. I will say, however, that the light pink color is not like pictured, it’s more of a “it’s a baby girl!” Pink if that makes sense.

I was expecting a very soft pink to go with my other blush decor but this is definitely not that! Tried to get a picture but the lighting adjustments on the camera make it seem softer than it is. Still works well at keeping the light out though!.

I purchased these while working overnight and nobody told me how dangerous they’d become ! I would get off with the sun already out so once I closed these I would automatically pass out because it blocked the sun so well, WELLLL, nobody told me they work so well to the point that you’d sleep through your whole next shift ! Lmao so definitely worth buying , just purchase a good alarm clock with it !.

“Love” is the word to use! These curtains replaced brown thermal curtains in my great room/theatre room. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It completely blocks out the sunlight through my three large triple-windows and French doors here in sunny south Florida.

The material is so rich looking and drape beautifully. The thermal lining is unique in the same color, rather than the white thermal I had and seems to be doing a great job. Even acoustically it appears to make a difference.

Thank you Houzz!.

I live in eastern NC and summer here can get very hot with temps reaching 99-100 degrees. I bought these exact same curtains several years ago for our beach home. They really cut down on heat in the summer and cold in the winter.

So I bought some for my living room at home. Still the same exact quality and price. Blocking the sun out and keeping my rooms cool help with the power bill. Just wish these had been around when I used to sleep days and work nights.

Great for shift workers.

Excellent quality, great light blocking, and soft fabric. I read all the reviews before purchasing, so was concerned about wrinkles from packaging. I put them in the dryer on low temperature for five minutes the hung on the curtain railings.

Perfect! No wrinkles and they fold back beautifully. Room is warmer and light is well blocked. Outstanding value. Highly recommend.

Was so excited about this product. It offered perfect sizing for what we needed. Material had an imperfection, snagging. I can live with that. However, the 45″ option had totally uneven edging. It looked like waves on the bottom.

We ordered a pair of 45″ panels and they were terrible. Didn’t even try the matching 84″ panels that we ordered. The 45″ curtains were at eye level and just couldn’t live with that. Returned the product with absolutely no problem.

Once confirmed, my order came very quickly, and I live across the country. EL didn’t end up having the length I requested, so they called me and we discussed it, agreeing on a longer length at no extra charge to me.

I appreciate the extra effort they gave to call me. The curtains are gorgeous and I love them. I do need to take them up a bit, but luckily, I can sew and I know how to do it. It’s also difficult sometimes on colors you see on-line, but these curtains really are the color they show on-line.

On the above-mentioned phone call, I did confirm that I could return the curtains if I decided the color wouldn’t suit me, but I won’t be returning them. I would definitely order from EL again for any future linen needs.

This became our first order from houzz and Whole Sale Beddings. Due to her love of everything pandas, we have been in search of the “perfect” black and white bedding set for our young daughter who has been asking to transition from a little girl room to a big girl room.

I came upon this set on houzz as a totally last minute Christmas present. I totally took a gamble on this arriving in time (12/24) as the original shipping date suggested a 12/27 delivery. Not only did the bedding arrive early (12/23) but my daughter LOVES it!.

The only issue with this purchase was when upon opening the Full Sheet set, we realized that the 8-pc set which was delivered didn’t exactly match the description online. Expecting a top sheet and a comforter, we instead received 2-Euro Shams.

Shortly after the holidays I emailed houzz and they got to work on resolving this. Ultimately Wholesale Beddings reached out to me directly via phone, respectfully explained the discrepancy to me and went above and beyond in ensuring that we were 100% happy with our purchase.

We can’t say enough about the customer service at houzz and Wholesale Bedding and we are very pleased with the quality of this bedding.

I honestly have to say since I put these up in my bedroom, I’ve slept better than I have in years. They block car headlights and the neighbors’ flood lights that are on all night. They also keep the room warmer during frigid nights.

I hung them easily right from the package; they weren’t wrinkled at all. The baby blue color is pretty, though I might have preferred a slightly paler color. I must get some for every room to keep out the winter cold.

Best curtains I’ve ever had.

I’ve had these hanging in my livingroom for over a year. They are beautiful and do a great job insulating a south facing window. They have not faded. Even though my dig loves to move them aside, they do not show “puppy marks”.

My only complaint is that they shrink, despite washing on cold and hanging to dry. The sides are puckered and the hem now rises above the sheers hanging behind these curtains. They were the perfect length but now they look silly.

I really like the design and it will fit well with my room but they shouldn’t really be called blackout curtains. My windows get full sun all morning which is why I need blackout curtains. These are more like a gray-out, even with blinds closed beneath them.

Just FYI.

Having just decorated the spare bedroom it needed new curtains. We have used Dunelm on line before and this time they did not disappoint. Items shown in stock and were quickly delivered. They are good looking and are good VFM looking more expensive than the cost.

They were delivered quickly and on time considering the items were delivered in 3 separate deliveries due to them coming from different locations/distribution centres. Just waiting for the carpet fitting before they go on the rail and it is all finished.

Curtains were a lovely colour, great quality and made the room look warm and cosy. Good blackout curtains too

I had these delivered and was disappointed as soon as I opened the packaging. The fabric felt cheap and the colour was mucky. I hung one curtain in case they improved on hanging but it just got worse as they are actually a self-patterned check! Like a gingham cloth.

This looked awful with my damask bedding. I returned them.

Simple, organic and natural. Nice fabric, well made. Great sourcream color. Filters light beautifully. Buttons complete the look! I tried all the tricks for ironing linen, using steam setting in dryer, ironing over a damp cloth.

After several hours and many panels later, simply sprinkling curtain with water and using steam iron worked best. I had forgotten that my mother always sprinkled and rolled clothes before ironing. Once up, they look amazing.

Goes well with farmhouse, casual and rustic decor.

These blackout Lush Decor brand are superior. Your room will be dark because of the the two types of materials used, yet they are still pretty lightweight. We had some trees removed outside and the light coming in was tremendous and hot.

Our friend is a weatherization technician and told me a good blackout curtain can help lower utilities in summer and winter and we do notice a difference. We have blackout curtains at work and this brand is so so much better quality.

You cannot see thru the Lush Decor brand at all.

Excellent dies to work with accurate and precise. Have already reloaded 150 rounds with various bullet weights. Now to the range for some testing! Thanks Cabela’s for quick service and delivery.

I’m not going to say do not buy this now because I never had the chance to shoot it. However, I ran into a major problem as I was drawing the bow back to check peep sight it dry fired and cracked the cam.

I needed help to find out who actually created this now. Turns out elite archery did. But if you ever need any parts replaced you HAVE to go through bass pro. Elite made this bow for bass pro and cabelas only so that means no other archery shop can order replacement parts.

That’s not great because these stores will not make you a priority to get you parts to fix your product. I ended up returning this now and bought a Mathews bow. Be careful when buying store specific products because if you need it fixed you are at the mercy of bass pro.

I got this bow early this year, I’ve been shooting it for a few months now. It’s a solid bow at a great value compared to some of the other bows on the market. That being said, it’s definitely not a matthews, it’s not the quietest bow out there and not the smoothest release in my opinion.

Solid option if you’re looking for newer technology that’s a little more budget friendly. By far the best bow under the blackout brand thus far.

Bought the 50-60 lb model. Don’t really need to pull 70 lbs anymore. Set it up with a QAD Ultra Rest HDX rest and a BlackOut 5-Pin Bow Sight. After a few shots and slight adjustments to the sight, it was lights out.

No paper tuning needed. It is fast and accurate. Highly recommend this bow.
