Gray 108 in Extra Long Blackout Curtains 2 Panels Set - Room Darkening

In this review of the Gray 108 in Extra Long Curtains, the bottom line is straightforward: these pinch pleat drapes are best for anyone needing true darkness and improved room comfort. The set delivers a full blackout white backing that blocks sunlight and UV, and the lined fabric adds thermal and noise-reducing benefits. The panels arrive ready made with hardware and multiple hanging options, so they suit homeowners who want a heavier, linen-look curtain that prioritizes privacy and energy efficiency over perfectly smooth fabric out of the package.

Key Features

• 100% Blackout: The white backing prevents direct sunlight and UV from entering, creating full darkness for sleeping or media rooms.
• Thermal Insulation: The lined construction helps balance room temperature and can reduce heating and cooling load.
• Pinch Pleat Design: Each panel has seven pleats that lend a tailored, linen-like appearance suited to modern and farmhouse interiors.
• Ready Made Set: The package includes two panels, 16 metal rings and 16 adjustable hooks so the curtains hang immediately and the hook adjusts height by about 1 in.
• Multiple Hanging Ways: You can hang with rings and hooks, use the back tab to hide the rod, or use clip rings if preferred for styling flexibility.
• Easy Care: Machine washable in cold water and tumble dry low with cool ironing on the front side to refresh the panels.

Who It's For

These curtains are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, nurseries or media rooms where full blackout and extra length matter. The 108 in length and dense backing make them particularly useful for tall windows, sliding doors, or rooms where privacy and light control are priorities.

Shoppers seeking a crisp, wrinkle-free linen textile straight out of the package or those who expect a lightweight sheer will want to look elsewhere; these heavier panels ship very wrinkled and need time, steam or ironing to smooth fully. Also, buyers who require clip rings should note clips are not included.

Cons
