When I worked for American Drapery and Blind in Renton, WA; I contracted out many Black-Out orders. The way they are made is the fabric part is what you see in your home. The rubbery part faces the street. Honestly, do you really want to look at the rubber? Black-out fabric is made to withstand the elements. You are paying the price for this fabric. It will last many-o-years.

Thank you all so much for your feedback....the curtain is up and I am very happy now. The window is not very large, but it will do for now. Ghee, this Texas hot weather is almost over. I have the this picture, nothing fancy just wanted to cool down the room. hopefully, it I will figure out shortly...thank you all again and have a great day!
