*Was?: Excellent as a projector screen, excellent value for money.
Thankfully this enabled me to dispose of my PVC projector screen which easily creased permanently unless great effort is expended to restore it.By comparison to PVC this blackout is excellent as a projector screen, excellent value for money.Preferable to poly-cotton-backed, this polyester-only backed is better:+Lighter at 70% the weight of poly-cotton material backed material.+Not smelly.-Unfortunately not as white as before, nor as white as the poly-cotton version.What does a PVC screen have over rubberised-white black-out cloth at £3 per metre?:Compared to £3 per metre black-out cloth:•Black out cloth looks as good as PVC: White side has a very thin coating of rubbery-matt material (a tiny fleck may flake off) which reflects light (screen gain) as well as a PVC projector screen, the grey fabric side not so effective.•No diffusion of light within the material which a bedsheet fabric does (no sub-surface-scattering).•Black out cloth is nearly light-tight/blocks about 95% of the light, no issues there.•Black out cloth is as lightweight as PVC so light enough to use clear parcel tape to stick to a painted wall or to sufficiently durable wallpaper.•Black out cloth, clear parcel tape to the wall doesn’t need a bulky floor tripod stand, nor ceiling installation etc.•Black out cloth can be put up and taken down if needed, watch the wallpaper / paint. Putting up / taking down the PVC screen tends to permanently crease PVC.•Black out cloth comes folded in a shoe box for easier transportation than PVC which to prevent creases has to come in a cardboard tube.•Black out cloth has minimal creases, as it’s slightly stretchy applying a bit of final tension with an extra bit of clear parcel tape at the edges reduces any creases to a low-to-no crease level, it's just a case of pulling it tight which works with polyester-only-backed version, not poly-cotton.•Not sure if it's intended to be used as a waterproof material, though one's use-case may vary. PVC is basically water-proof, whereas I checked the latex-rubber side of this blackout cloth: after a few mins on the rubberised coating the tap water wets out the rubberised coating, but takes about 5 minutes to slowly start dripping through.•PVC doesn’t fray compared to blackout cloth, where sometimes blackout cloth edges can fray if you pull sellotape off the edges.Only the the 54" / 137cm wide is available: *Please* source a 70"inch (about 180cm) version, I’d buy 3metres length of that, x3qty at least, maybe a lifetime supply (x10qty).Besides for the curtains, I mainly bought the 54" / 137cm wide x 3m because I couldn’t find a 70"inch by 3m for the projector screen use.*Update 27.6.20: *now only the off-white light-grey'white' rubberised-coating is available.•The June 2020 blackout cloth I’ve purchased is the 4th of the 4 I’ve purchased from Pricebust through Amazon: This recent one is*light Grey*rubberised coating, with the same underlying backing fabric.•The previously purchased blackout cloths are*White*rubberised coating, with the same underlying backing fabric.•I’ve contacted Pricebust with a photo showing (attached to this review) the previous White vs current Light Grey rubberised-coating, *now Pricebust only stock/have available the Grey rubberised-coating.

Perfect linings for warmth and dark
These linings were absolutely perfect for lining replacement blinds I was making for my motorhome. Great quality, they block out the light completely and the thermal aspect really helps in the cold evenings to keep the heat in. Highly recommended.

White one side and grey the other - seems good quality though
Delivered when it said it was going to be. Does seem good quality and definitely white one side and grey the other. Doesn't feel rubbery which some cheaper blackout linings do, it has a nice satin feel to it. I haven't actually made my curtains yet, but cost and quality I am pleased with my purchase.

Excellent
Excellent price, quality, thickness and so easy to sew! Originally purchased two meters to make/libe a Roman blind, I was so pleased with the quality I purchased 10meters to line a pair of ready made front door curtains. Now complete blackout and when I opened them this morning after the first cold snap you could feel the cold air between them and the external door!

Good product
It was very easy to put together. I used the hem fixer roll to stick them to the curtain and it worked. The fabric is good quality. You can see the difference in pictures with and without it. The pictures were taken at same time with an hour difference and it was afternoon time. So, yes it does block out light. Saved me from buying new curtains

Nice quality
Used this to line a blackout door curtain. Really pleased with the result, it’s given the curtain extra weight and looks nice, as far as I can tell it’s helping keep the cold out too.

Material completely blacks out
Material itself completely blacks out but it’s difficult in my experience to achieve full black out because of light bleeding. I haven’t used this to line curtains, as curtains don’t need it, i used this as an extra curtain behind blackout blind and curtains to give extra blackout, as no matter what I had, there was still bleeding of sunshine. It has been made into two slot top curtains on a tension wire in the recess. I fixed light bleeding with double side tabs either side of the curtains and by creating a pelmet out of upvc for the top of the curtains to run in. It is now completely blackout. The material is true to the colour and I found it really easy to work with and sew.

Perfect product. Ignore bad reviews
The product's quality is perfet. It blocks all the light as promised. The cutting was pretty straight and I received 10% more than I bought (bought 4m and received 4.40m). I need a pitch black room for a good night of sleep and I'm installing this product with self-adhesive velcro. I have done it before at a rental home and the product and installation outlived the 6 years I lived at that place. YES, you can sew it but practice on its end first to be sure you get the hand to do it.
