These curtains really do a great job on cutting down the light coming in my bedroom. The room is on the west side of our house and the Florida sun beaming through heats up the room so I think these curtains are really going to help. They are light weight and have a silky feel. I like that there are blue, teal and tan colors on the curtains so they coordinate well with almost any bedspread I use. This is a good quality product.
