RYB HOME Blackout French Door Curtain for Kitchen Front Back Door Window

I purchased these to blackout my bedroom door that leads straight outside. My wife and my brother in law both work nights so they both need a dark room to sleep during the day. The internal blinds on both of their doors just dont cut out enough. These worked very well. They were easy to install and fast. I used a couple magnets to better secure them to a metal door so that nearly 0 light gets through. I'm very happy with the quality, value, and useability of these.

Warning, long review! But a good read if you are detail oriented person, like me. I’ve been searching for a simple and easy (but classy) curtains for my back French doors. I live in city limits and neighbors can, at times, see into my kitchen. These curtains not only offer privacy but help reduce sunlight/heat/cold into my kitchen. In the following paragraphs/sections, I plan to explain how I went about my install then pros and cons of this product. Before I dive in, I’d like to mention that I bought a quantity of 2. I was a bit hesitant on if there were two panels or just one… easier to return one than have just one hanging up while waiting on the other. Also, I used rubbing alcohol to clean the surface area for the best adhesion. It’s important to note that rubbing alcohol may not work for every surface type out there. Use caution. Install: (Measure:) I measured the width and length of the window on the door then wrote it down on the instruction manual. I also measured the curtain - since I read a previous review that stated that the curtain was actually “smaller” in size than what is referenced in the description. I found that with my measurements I needed about 2” (on the width measurement) of the curtain to exceed the edge of the window. Almost the same scenario with the length, so I went with an inch above the window. This would allow the curtain to adhere on a flat surface above the window and hang over the lip of the window’s frame. This allowed the curtain to hang past the bottom of the window - for optimal coverage. (Marking measurements:) My door is metal, so I used a pencil and marked one inch above the center of the window (the bottom horizontal edge of the Velcro would sit above this marking) and one inch up ⬆️ and two inches ↔️ from the left and right edge of the window. (Three markings in total so that the Velcro was centered and level with the window). I measured the full length across of the two end markings to determine how long the Velcro strip needed to be. Cut the first one and used the first one as a template to cut the second strip. I then used a pencil to mark the two inches in from the edge of the Velcro so that they would line up with the markings on the door to be centered. Before removing the tape backing, I checked my markings against the markings on the door and they lined up. Removed the backing and adhered the Velcro tape to the door. (Curtain install:) I may advise letting the tape “cure” to the door for optimal adherence. I left it for about 20-30 minutes before hanging up the curtains. Pros and Cons: Pro: very easy and simple install that made such a big change in my kitchen. I could see an instant result in the reduction of sunlight. The color referenced in the listing accurately reflected the color of the panel. I went with the “linen” color to go with the neutral tones of my kitchen and to hide any future or potential stains that come about. In my opinion, solid color curtains show stains and creases easily. Light textured or light patterned curtains disguise it better. As far as sturdiness… I’d say that is very reliant on how clean the surface area is. After hanging up the curtains and then deciding to take them down for adjustments… it was rather difficult for me (a strong grown woman) to remove the Velcro curtain from the Velcro adhered to the door. Cons: and this is not anything the manufacturer could avoid… but it was an eye sore for me. After hanging up the curtains I noticed a ton of creases and wrinkles all throughout. While I could just let the curtains hang and the wrinkles will fall out eventually, I decided to just iron it for better aesthetics. The two straps that hold the curtain up in an “open” fashion were badly wrinkled. (Also worth mentioning, the straps hang underneath the Velcro strip adhered to the curtain, not over the top in front. I only have them flipped over the front to show how badly wrinkled they were) The tag says to iron on low. If you have a steamer, it’ll pull the creases out quickly. If you have an old school iron and iron board like me… it wasn’t that hard either. I started on low heat and gradually increased to maintain integrity of the material. I also used the steam feature on my iron to speed up the process. (Roughly 10 minutes per curtain) I took pictures to show the windows before curtains, one with and one without curtain, one wrinkled and one ironed… for reference. If you are renting or just don’t want to drill holes in your door, this is a great option! Would recommend!

i am so happy with this curtain. It has the best velcro. It looks great. went up in 5 min. it’s really good . perfect for my back door. i love it and the price was great!

I ordered the camel color single Blackout curtain for the long window at my front door to block out the sun and light. My daughter and I were very careful to measure accurately BEFORE I ordered. Yet the certain is a good 12 inches too short. The length of my front door window is 70 inches, so I should have 19 inches of spare material but I don't. The bottom of the window is not covered. It makes me wonder if they provided measurements with the top hangover, included. If so, that makes no sense. Why would they do that ? So now about 1 foot of my window is not covered by the curtain. Otherwise, I like the ease of installation, the color, the lightweight material and how well it blocks out the light. I haven't had any issues with wrinkling, but I did spray it with a wrinkle releaser when I first opened just to smooth it out a bit. I haven't used the tie offs yet, but probably won't. The Velcro adhesive (you get 2 strips that you cut to size) applied to the window frame easily and iz very sturdy and strong. The width of the curtain also seems to be a little off as well. My window measured 26x70 , this curtain is supposed to be 29x89, but it's not. The Velcro on the curtain stays put, so far. It's definitely going to keep it cooler in my living room because the sun comes directly through the front door window in the afternoon, so this is excellent at light and heat blocking.

This curtain was easy to install and instantly added privacy to my door window. The material looks great, helps block light effectively, and gives the room a more polished appearance. I love that no drilling was required, making setup quick and simple. Highly recommended!

We love these curtains. They install extremely easy, are very sturdy and strong. You can also roll them up and use the “hidden” Velcro to keep them up easily. They are sort and thick and very good quality!

The curtain looks used. Sticky adhesive strip was stuck together and hard to pull apart. Other than that curtain does a good job blocking light.

Exactly as expected, it was very easy to install, perfect for renters, it has very good coverage and eliminates about 95% of the light, I would recommend buyer to take measurements before buying to ensure coverage, I double check measurements before buying and it was a perfect fit

Nice material, works exactly as I expected. Very easy to put up.

This is just what I was after for my glass door. And looks stylish when rolled up

Simple. Neat

This is truly blackout as no light enters. However, the tape separates and the adhesive side stuck on the surface and the remainder of the tape on the curtain so, the curtain keeps falling down. I used all of the tape and still doesn't work. Now the surface is sticky with adhesive and its peeling off the surface when I try to remove it. I reached out to the seller and even after 6 days, no response. Worst service ever.

Excellent
