  • Great for black out shades.
Color: U-shaped White-2pcs Size: 58‘’
The media could not be loaded. Great at blocking light! It’s completely metal and seems to be constructed really well. Fits my windows well and I’ve had no issues with my automatic shades. Installation was relatively easy. However, you’ll need a saw and a drill bit designed for metal. After cutting them to my desired length the end caps were a bit different to attach. Definitely worth the investment. ... show more

  • A little expense for what they are, but they do work and are made well
Color: U-shaped Custom Size: 1.6"W x 115"H
I have a Yoolax roller shade in my bedroom that is surface mounted on a window. Quite a bit of light gets past the edges when closed, so I bought these to help cut down on the light leakage. These are very sturdy and have a soft fabric "brush" on the inside edges to protect the edge of the window shade. I had to shorten these channels to fit my windows, I just used my table saw with a fine tooth blade to cut through the aluminum channel. The plastic cover on both ends is removable, just make sure to clean out the channel as there are some grooves that the end piece needs to fit in to lock it in. I used a thin run of double sided tape to adhere these to the outside trim of the window. The weighted bottom of the Yoolax shade fits nicely in the channel and the shade still opens and closes without binding. Looks nice and the color is very close to the metal valance of my roller shade. ... show more

  • Helps block extra light
Color: L-shaped White-4pcs Size: 1.6"W x 79"H
I got these to put around some roller shades I had installed as they were inside the frame and did not go edge to edge. They certainly work but aren’t perfect. Installation was mediocre. I had to cut these down with a small hand saw and the edge was very rough. I put that at the top behind the valence but probably should have sanded it for safety. The peel off paper on the adhesive was also a pain to remove. It ripped several times when I was peeling so I needed a small razor to find the edge again. The adhesive itself is very sticky. So much so that when I tried to quickly remove it after touching it to the wall to align it better, it took off some of the paint. I don’t think there’s any risk of it falling off, but will update this review if it ever does. I don’t use the hardware or the included as the adhesive felt plenty strong. Similarly, I haven’t added the included blackout tape to line the inside yet. I’m sure that will help a bit. As it stands though, this certainly does help block out some of the light but you’ll really need to use guides to push a shade flush against the inside track if you want it to block everything. It looks pretty good now that it’s installed and I could probably paint over it if I wanted to match the wall color in the future. The value is also pretty good relative to other options. Size is fine now that I cut it down. Overall it’s a good option, though I’d prefer to see easier adhesive tape removal and some kind of included guide to keep it level when installing. Feels easy enough to include a plastic piece that can clip on to each end that can keep the piece square to the edge of the frame when you’re installing. ... show more

  • Does not block light
Color: L-shaped White-2pcs Size: 1.6"W x 79"H
I followed the instructions and was very excited. However, once installed it did not block light from entering the room.

  • Great quality, and works!
Color: L-shaped Custom Size: 44''-115''
I was a little reluctant to buy it because I know they aren’t returnable. I measured with my tape measure, confirmed the measurements when they messaged me after purchase and I received them in a very hard cardboard tube so the pieces were not damaged or bent at all. After ordering two sets and seeing how great they were and worked, I ordered two additional sets, and it was very happy with the quality and with the consistency! The measurements were perfectly spot on. I don’t think the black tape is necessary for anything. I think it’s supposed to absorb light, but it doesn’t do anything so I left that off. The tape that comes on the pieces with the adhesive is very strong and super easy to stick up! ... show more

  • Great product, but poor packaging
Color: L-shaped White-2pcs Size: 1.6"W x 79"H
Great product, but the packaging was inadequate. These blackout PVC light blockers are heavy duty and do their job very well, IF they are straight. The ones I received were mailed in a long three-sided cardboard box which did nothing to protect the product. The light blockers are 79" long, which, as you can image, had a high probability of getting bent (they were, see photos). A more rational packaging would have the product taped to a wooden pole (or something similar) to prevent bending during transport. Rather than request a return, I straightened the blockers the best I could using hand weights and a strong vise, which eliminated 75% of the bend. I had to use screws to mount to the doorway, however, since the adhesive wasn't strong enough to overcome the remaining bend. It turned what would have been a simple installation into something more complicated and time consuming. That said, these light blockers are very sturdy and do what they are intended to do. I added black felt to the sun-side of the L-shaped surface, which helped eliminate most of the reflected light creeping in between the edge of the shade and the door frame. I would buy again, assuming more care in how they are packaged. ... show more
