This isn't even counting the metal window shades. I miss those things so much. Absolute dark.
I mean, also it completely covers the entire window with no gaps.
Can do that with other materials pretty easily
My local home store has cloth ones that are measured to your window and have rails, you just slide them down over the window and it blocks the light 100% eithout heating as much
o yaya as long as it has rails, prolly great! That style is just not nearly as common here from what I've seen. I have not had the same curtain experienceoutside EU. I feel like it's one of those things that's hard to explain.
Mine wasn't fancy electric like this one, but even so, it's so magical to live that life: https://youtube.com/watch?v=QpRg3648gBY
That looks like a safe house mechanism.
How much are they paying for Windows?
uhhh... what? I'm not trying to disagree with you about the transparency of metal... I'm just saying that I've seen a lot more blackout curtains that miss a spot than I've seen full-coverage curtains that let light through.
Most of them are made from plastic.
