Hello, My wife and I were excited to purchase these window blinds because we live directly on main street, but at $350.00 for two blinds I could have purchased two actual new 4-pain windows! We followed the directions on the Web site and when the product arrived it is too short and not wide enough. The company has refused to refund our money because it is a special order item. Well, perhaps if the company had taken a little more time to give their clients the information they need to make correct decisions I would not be out $350.00. Do not waste your money, and do not waste your time. Taken advantage of in Wisconsin.

I carefully followed the measuring instructions but instructions left out one crucial piece of information. The "eyes" that the the curtain hangs from is about 3" lower than the top of the curtain. Not knowing that I had to allow for the curtain to be hung about 3" higher than anticipated, my curtain is about 1" too short and lets in noise and light. If it weren't for that little snafu, I would have given a 5 star.

I am very happy with my new curtain. It has reduced neighborhood noise and as a bonus, darkens my room. I was very pleased with the ordering process, quick delivery, and quality of the product.

The curtains definitely reduce sound, approximately by half (depending on the frequency). Velcroing the sides makes a big difference. The quality is pretty good but could be improved. For the price I was disappointed the grommets were not all the same distance from the edge of the curtain (made hanging more challenging) and the fabric really should be adhered to the middle MLV layer in more places to prevent some pretty terrible bubbling/wrinkling of the frabric. It is worth the money to me but probably overpriced by about $30 in my opinion.

Really good black out job, but didn't quite get the noise canceling I was hoping for. Installation was easy enough, and all the hardware was included.

We purchased an Acoustidoor and it works extremely well. It blocks out the outside noise and has allowed us to sleep much better at night.

The curtains are very well made, will probably last forever ;-) They definitely drown out the street noise, but of course it's not sound-proof. They also make the room much darker, an added bonus. One suggestion: there is really no mention of the velcro on the website, and I would've liked a video or photos of how the curtain is operated (i.e. photos of how to roll them up properly, how to do the velcro thing, etc. I am sleeping better, which is what counts!

I've read some excellent reviews and some negative ones, albeit very few. I have found the product to work very well in my home theater, I use it in a large basement window well that I can't permanently cover but need some way to block sound coming in or out. I bought a 53 * 53 and did the install myself, went well. Thanks again for the great product!
