Sun Zero Easton Extra-Wide Blackout Grommet Sliding Patio Door Curtain Panel

Effective enough not totally blackout curtains but good enough

Not good qualityWaste of money

We have a very large patio door that needs to be covered to keep the sun out and our house cool. We considered vertical blinds, but they were way to expensive. I came across these curtains, and they're perfect!! They don't block out 100% of the light, but they do keep the heat out. My door opening was 150", I ordered 2 100" panels and they work great. The material is super soft, and not too heavy. They were awfully wrinkled when they came, so I put them in my dryer on the "steam/wrinkle release" cycle, and they wrinkles came right out. I am super impressed at the quality for the price.

These are nice well made curtains. Just got done hanging them and they look great. One word of advice when hanging, They MAY be 84" long (more like 83" finished) but that's from the top of the rings so you lose 3 1/2 inches when hung. I measured 84 1/2 off the floor to mount the rod and the curtains were 4 1/2 inches off the floor. Had to lower the rod and patch the holes.

So, I bought a whole HOUSE full of these curtains for a vacation rental property. I bought only 4 panels for one room to start, so I could see the color. All good (sure wish I had unpacked them first) so I ordered about another 20 panels for finish the house. Where to start? The colors in the various dye lots were WAY OFF. I mean WAY off. The first sets on the 84 inch drapes in Stone Beige were a kinda nice color ... I have warm gray/beige tile floors and they looked fine. Not great, but fine. The colors in the subsequent sets had degenerated into a cheesy beige with almost a pinkish cast ... and that got even more pronounced when they were hung and closed on a sunny window. Which brings me to problem #2. To call these "blackout" is simply false advertising ... they are sorta room darkening but they are most assuredly NOT blackout. Next, they are quite wrinkled as curtains so often are from the pack. My solution has always been to soak the curtains in water and hang them wet.... the wrinkles fall out as they dry. Easy. Nope ... did the same with these and they got WAY worse ... the hems and edges curled and wrinkles appeared in new places. They will have to be fiercely ironed. On yeah, and even without the dryer they shrink a little. Finally, all the curtains are hung in 1 inch rods ... no problems. The description says that they fit on 2 inch rods and, on one window, I have a 1.5 inch wooden rod (necessary to span a long opening without a center support). Yes, they do fit over the rod and yes, with some coaxing, it is possible to open the curtains. It is, however, totally NOT possible to pull the drapes closed on a rod 1.5 inches or larger (at least not a wooden one). Sure regretting this purchase.

Super nice fabric and exactly what I wanted. Unpackaged, there were a few wrinkles but I put it in the dryer for about 10 min and it was perfect. Would highly recommend!

We have ordered many items from Amazon & this is the first return. The item ordered was Sun Zero “Easton” blackout sliding patio door panel. Two were ordered together. When they arrived they were labeled Sun Zero “Lichtenberg” (not Easton) as ordered so I have no idea if they were what was ordered or not. After opening and hung on a rod, the two panels were not the same length, one being about an inch shorter that the other. When packing to return, the panels looked slightly different in color in direct sunlight and must have been from two different dye lots. The fabric was nice and heavy but with no extra backing, so definitely NOT room darkening. The product description was NOT accurate, nor was the product even what was ordered, maybe, who knows? I was very disappointed because I took a long time comparing on line and these did not match each other in length (or same dye lot). Will not be buying drapes on line again. :/
