Great buy
I want to explain in detail why this product is worth every penny. I am on a low fixed income so I do everything possible to stretch every penny. I live in Arizona so I have equally high heating and cooling cost. It obviously hot in the summer but is also very cold in the winter so I bought expensive black out curtains which works well for the winter but in the summer they don't work so good. The reason they don't work so good in the summer is the radiant heat. It blocks the sunlight but the heat of the sun is absorbed into the curtains and they transfer the heat into my apartment. So I did my research and found this product insulates and reflects the sun's heat. Now when it is say 105 out I can touch my Curtains and they are actually cold to the touch. In 24 my A/C would run for 17 hours a day or so in the summer month on average now my A/C runs for may 1 hour a day. At night even during the hottest months it will get into the 70's so at Night I air out my apartment with windows open and I run a fan for air circulation before I had this product I could not get the inside of my apartment as cool as the outside because the heat from the sun was absorbed into my cinder block walls the best I could do without the A/C on would be to get my apartment into the 80's. If it was 70 outside my apartment would only cool to about 82 never into the 70's. Now I can get my apartment completely cooled off to the outside temp. So by not letting the sun bake my apartment when it is out I can naturally keep my place cool and like I said during the heat of the sun my A/C is only running for 1 hour a day. So if you think Insulated Black Out Curtains will work for you think again.... This will turn you place into basically a thermos.
