Rod Pocket Blackout Curtains, 2 Panels 42x63in, Grey

Gray goes with the most rooms and shows the fewest marks, which is why it is the shade this panel sells most of. The construction is the three-layer weave: a middle layer of black yarn sealed between two outer layers of polyester, blocking 80 to 95 percent of sunlight and UV without the plastic hand of a coated blackout curtain.

A 3-inch rod pocket runs along the top and swallows any rod up to 2 inches thick, so no hardware is on show and the fabric falls in continuous folds, a look that suits a bedroom better than a header of metal rings. Two panels at 42 by 63 inches each cover a narrow or standard window as a pair. The weave insulates both ways, keeping summer heat out and winter warmth in, and softens whatever noise comes through the glass.
