It does the function of blocking the heat and sun but color is not the Terracotta like picture but more faded salmon color. Also not exactly same hem and length. Lots of work as I ad to iron all four panels and hang with double rod and we finished two windows. If your house needs to be energy wise with here in Vegas- I recommend these. But you'd better be careful with color and hem as they don't match with our decor with these color- but we don't want to be bothered with returning these.
