Buying curtains??Help..
 

my apartment has only blinds and my cat has basically destroyed some of it.. i wanna get some nice curtains that LOOK nice and maintain heat & let zero light in..

There are so many options im confused.. What site do you recommend and what type of curtain do you think i should buy?

Black out curtains - do a google search. Hotels use them.

Tab top are the easiest to hang and launder. Jc Penny is a good store to start with, they are always well stocked and do quick special orders.

Measure your windows from both the inside and outside frame and grab youself a sales clerk. Go on a Tuesday .. when they are all bored half to death. If you really can't decide, check your local yellow pages, decorators aren't that expesive, when you are looking for window treatments.

does penny's sell black out curtains?
I find them a must. I love ability to close curtains and door middle of day and have room be pitch black.

hope this helps..
"Maximum light absorption and heat insulation in a curtain is created through a lined curtain, which typically consists of an uncoated fabric at the front to provide the look and feel of the curtain, with a separate coated fabric attached at the rear to provide the insulative qualities. The coated fabric is typically referred to as a lining, which simply refers to a coated fabric that does not have any particular colour or pattern"

Yes and the mylar filled curtains are specially pleasant.
