Can this muslin fabric be used to block out window sunlight?

I was making an outdoor backdrop. When it was early morning and in the shade with no back lighting it worked fine. But assoon as the sun would hit something bright in the background or the sun came out and hit the back it showed real bad. I did not test to see how it work if the sun was hitting the front.

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.

Not really, it will tone it down but quite frankly I was much happier with the black sheet that I bought from walmart

We used it to cover our skylights. It isn't reflective but I guess you could make a shade out of it if you were an experienced seamstress or tailor. It would block bright light like one of those pull down shades you see at many restaurants.

no. This umbrella is pretty cheap to the point that it does not block all of the light--you will loose light meaning it will go through the black fabric.

I think it would depend upon the length of the curtains and if there is direct sunlight into the room. I think it almost always pays to line curtains - they hang better and avoid sun fading. The lighter weight fabric you are considering using would work this way for curtains, but probably not for what we consider to be drapes.

I used it for a canopy on a gazebo and it worked great, but unfortunately I cannot say if it will work on cotton. Like I said it worked great on the gazebo and it did not change the the way li blocked the sun.

Yes. I put shade cloth over the top and 1 side for privacy. Works and looks good.

We use it in our motorhome to block more sunlight in the morning. We put these up using little velcro tabs and remove the shades when we pack up or if we just want the windows open for a breeze.

Yes. It is a diaphanous cloth that allows 85% of the sunlight through but if used correctly, will keep bugs and critters out.

We use our shades to block the morning sun on our covered porch. I don't know if you can see through them at nite.

It depends on your definition of "some". Mostly it block the view -- very well -- shapes can be seen but not detail and although the windows I covered are under a full awning, I have noticed no reduction in sunlight.

It would work great as a privacy screen. You might be able to see shadows through it but that's all. It really does block almost all the sun. We use it on a screened in deck to block the afternoon sun.

I purchased a roll of vinyl mesh screen(for a sun screen, not window screen) and I put the grommets along the top and tied them to my canopy on my deck to filter out the sun. Made them so I could roll them up. Worked very well and the grommets are real easy to use. Hope this helps.

YES... privacy and blocks the sun too. I really like it and it is NOT cheap looking like some I have seen.

I don't see why not - especially if the area is shielded from direct sun/rain - it's cheap enough - try it!

I bought the golden/beige one and I use it to block the western sun. I really can't see anything through it in the daytime. I imagine if you and a light were behind it, it would probably show images/shadows.

I don't see why not. The fabric is made for outdoor use, as are most Sunbrella fabrics. I chose it for its durability and, after more than three years, it has performed wonderfully.

You can see through it - It will block the sun like shade it but not completely.
