How well do they block out light? Are they UV protected material? I need them for 12' sliding glass doors. Will 4 panels cover that?

Hi M. Lachance. I have mine in the bedroom...they block the light perfectly! Yes 4 panels will cover the area. In order to have a medium gather when closed, take 12' x 1.5 = desired curtain total width (18')...divide that by 60" (total width per panel) = 3.6 (or 4) panels needed. Good luck! You have chosen a beautiful curtain...Did you know you can get lots of matching accessories...go to Lonestarwesterndecor.com...I am extremely pleased with the quality of items made by HiEnd Accents. The "Cheyenne Red" collection is also beautiful. Hope I've helped you. I have no idea about the UV protection factor, but it was no concern to me in making my choice. Cheyenne Hi M. Lachance.

Yes for sure 4 panels should cover. They are very dark and block out light really well.

I use it for a decorative shower curtin. I only purchased one panel. One panel will cover the length of a bath tub. The height covers the sliding tub doors from the top of the doors to the floor

they block a lot of the light...and not sure about uv protected ? I think 4 would barley cover your door

I don't know if they are UV protected material. They block out the sun great. On hot days we close them when the sun is the brightest most days we just leave them opened with the shear part hanging down and it works great keeping the sun out. Not sure about your sliding glass door question sorry.

No I installed mine in many window frames. They work great after a year of use. Roles in smooth and holds up very well against the sun too. I was worried they would be too dark but they are a perfect balance. You can see through them just great. I hope this helps you.

They do a really good job of blocking out light. They also do well at not touching my eyes while I'm sleeping either so I think it might work well for you too.

I bought them to block out blue light from my computer and e-reader. They aren't tinted so I wouldn't recommend them as sunglasses.

The ones we had were sufficient for blocking out the sun. And worked as I had hoped. If it is not clinging, be sure you remove the protective film! I took them on and off as needed.

No. They are not super thick and are lighter in color - so they would not be good black out curtains; however, they would block the view, they're not sheers. Hope this helps.

I put the solar panel on top of my gutter, the lights wrap around our bay window and with sun all day they stay on until daybreak. They give enough light I can walk around anywhere in there. Absolutely love those. Well worth to purchase.

I use these as sunglasses for events I wear them to, they do a good job blocking the sun b/c of the dark tint. However, they have no UV protection and partially block your peripheral vision. And don't wear them in shaded areas, they're too dark to see well in anywhere other than daylight.

Jon - Yes, all of our materials (other than rear projection film) block essentially all light from passing through. This material will work great for going over a window. Thanks!

They have an IR-3 or IR-5 rating and an ANSI Z87.1 that requires listing the UV protection level but I couldn't find it anywhere on the goggles or any sites offering them. I use them for glass and metal working but you might hold off using them for UV until you know for sure. Most IR rated optics do block UV but I'm not sure if that's intrinsic. It's the opposite end of the spectrum that these are explicitly designed to protect your eyes from.

yes they work great. I use them when I ride my motorcycle and they are tinted along with uv protection which makes everything clear and my eyes don't hurt even after being on the highway in the sun all day. Are they safe around a bright welding light no they don't take the place of welding shield but they work for daylight.

I'm not sure if they block all UV and Blue rays, but they are awesome especially for the price. I look at a computer screen at work constantly and when my eyes start to hurt, I put them on and it really helps. They are nice looking too.

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.

These have a descent brightness to them, effective to about 4-6ft. the longer tubes are typically brighter, I would suggest put a mirror behind either fixture to maximize uv effect. If you have the room, I would suggest a 48" tube fixture

No glass cover so if you use normal bulbs they burn out fast. I use 194 LED bulbs - 15 SMD LED wedge base tower, from Superbrightleds.com. Work great so far. If you are getting LED bulbs make sure you get ones with at least 100 lumens up. Good luck.

No , the panels are not lined. They're pretty thin. If you're wanting these panels to keep out light, you would need shades or another panel in addition

I have the black, gray and green curtain. It's thin enough to allow light in, but still able to provide plenty of privacy. Hope this helps.
