The Midnight Blackout Curtain Panel

What it is and what it is made of

The Midnight Blackout Curtain Panel is a single rectangular panel cut from 100% polyester knit at 80 gsm. The surface is matte, so it reads soft rather than shiny in a room. The fabric is a thin knit with a high shading range of 70% to 90%, which is what gives it the blackout name. It is a single layer, not a double layer panel.

This is a plain solid panel in black. There is no print, no pattern and no lining to keep track of. The panel hangs flat and holds a simple, modern line at the window.

Sizes

Each panel is sold on its own. Pick the size that matches your window and the drop you want. Widths run from 24 in (60 cm) to 66 in (168 cm), and lengths run from 51 in (130 cm) to 98 in (250 cm).

A common rule is to choose a panel width about twice the width of your window, so the fabric has room to fold. For a fuller look across a wide window, use two panels.

Color and header options

This panel comes in black only. Black keeps the window dark and blends with most rooms, from a bedroom to a home office.

You choose the header when you order:

• Grommet top: metal rings along the top, slides onto a rod and folds in even waves.
• Hook: a flat top that takes hooks, useful with a track or a rod with rings.
• Pencil pleat tape: a gathered top with soft, upright pleats.
• Rod pocket: the rod slides through a sewn channel at the top, for a clean, simple hang.

Each header changes how the panel sits at the rod, so pick the one that matches the hardware you already have.

How to fit and use it

Measure your window first, then decide on the drop. For a floor-length look, choose a panel length close to the distance from the rod to the floor. For a sill-length look, choose a shorter size.

This panel suits a bedroom, living room, dining room, office, cafe or hotel room. It is a good fit where you want to cut glare on a screen or soften light during the day. The high shading range of 70% to 90% means it blocks most light, not all of it.

Sold per panel. The seller suggests two panels for one window. If you want the fabric to close fully across the glass with folds, order two. If you only need to cover part of a window or want a single narrow panel, one is enough.

Hang the panel from a rod or track that matches your header choice. Let it hang for a day or two so the folds settle. A quick press on a low setting helps if the panel arrives with creases.

Care

Machine wash cold. Hang dry. That is the full routine. Skip bleach and skip a hot dryer, since heat can change how the knit sits. Wash the panel on its own or with similar dark items to keep the black even. A light shake after drying helps the fabric fall back into place.

Why shoppers pick this panel

It is a plain black panel with a matte finish, a high shading range and a choice of four headers. The size range covers small kitchen windows up to wide sliding doors. Because it is sold per panel, you can order exactly the number you need for the window you have in mind.
