Yes. It completely blocks out the light.I hang it in front of my garage window.

My particular one does not. I understand that you can special order one with black borders and backing. I did not asthe location of the screen did not require it. This screen was installed where light is not an issue; however, there is lightabove and behind the screen that causes the image to fade when the lights are on. I think that if I had installed this overa window I would not be satisfied.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your question.The window have zip up covers that should be helpful for darkening at night.

Yes, it does. It won't cover entire window, but covers almost. It has to be used to side windows. This protects from sun pinch, not to block light.

No. You can see light if its in front of the panel, but it's not transparent which I take to mean easily seen through. If you sew, it's like an interfacing that's dense.

I don't think it would block all light from a day window but I wouldn't call it transparent at all. These are very nice tablecloths and they have a quality look and feel. I have a white one used in a wedding meal. Looked great.

Yes, it does block well for privacy. The light shines through but it is diffused and cannot be defined from the outside. I am very pleased with the results for privacy issues.

No, you cannot see through it at night. You roll the covers down to let in light and then roll them back up at night from the outside. They have Velcro to hold them in place.

No. I actually got it for the opposite reason. I wanted to allow light into my place without sacrificing privacy and it does that quite effectively. If you are looking to darken a room, this is not what you are looking for.

Not really. I it was back lite I suppose you could see through. It's very pretty

No it doesn't, but believe it or not even though it's vinyl it isn't "see through." We use ours just fine, without any additional blockage.

Yes it's finished in the back but why would you want to block a window? I'm an interior decorator and I wouldn't block a window with a bookshelf

Not completely, though the fabric is thick and would certainly make things quite dark, like a heavy curtain. If you are looking for a total blackout, I would recommend this product: http://blackoutez.com/ It is reasonably priced and worked well for me when I was working night shift and needed total darkness during daylight hours. Hope this helps.

I think It does. Mine are not exposed directly to the sun and yet the room is not dark. Other reviewers say that in a window facing south, It blocks heat and sun

Yes, but everything is blurred. The weave is somewhat open to allow air to flow through. I have a light beige material, but I think the darker color would limit the viability. I just went outside to see if you could see into the windows at night. Absolutely. Probably not a good choice for privacy.

No, it is not opaque. It does have tiny holes so stays like indoor light though my windows are shaded, but not dark. This is what I wanted, to keep the natural light without the sun and heat. Because of the tiny holes, it will let a steady rain through, but most would run off. If you want it to shed rain and stay dry underneath, then you need an awning, like a Sunsetter instead, which is much more expensive.

No. It's way too dark. More of a hazard but the backs come out great. I did the front side lights and they are blacked out very minimal amount of light. I left the front ones alone.

Yes transparent.. but the backlight is dimmed and the letters or not visible during night time.
