Introducing American Made Sleepy Time Tracks: Side Tracks for Blackout Shades

SmileforHCA: My Andersen windows have a scalloped border, and I used a utility knife to trim the strips to fit. Have ordered again after trying them on one window to put them on two additional windows.

Hunter: These things are fantastic and work great! Bob the Blind Guy couldn't have been nicer or more helpful too. It only were they shipped quickly but I ended up having to mount them a little differently than usual and he took excellent care of me when I ordered the wrong ones. I live on the western edge of the Eastern Time Zone and go to work at 6:00am so it stays full daylight until after 9:00pm in the summer but I can block all the light out with an opaque roller shade with these on the sides. You couldn’t ask for a better seller or product.

Michele: Great product, accomplished what our blackout curtains and honeycomb blinds could not. These were easy enough to cut and measure and work really well in our child's nursery.

One thing to note - the adhesive doesn't joke around. Once you set it in place there's no way you are getting it out without ruining it. Be really sure when you are about to set these into place. I made this mistake and set the first beam a little too high. No problem - I covered the gap at the bottom with the extra from having cut it shorter.

Annette K.Annette K.: I have suffered for years between the months of April to September when the sun is up before me trying to make a sleeping mask do the trick but of course it always slipped off. I face the east and sleep literally 3 feet from the window.

For years, I just suffered. Then last summer I actually went to the big box stores looking in different aisles like trim work, flooring and paint/wallpaper departments for L-shaped trim or something could could block out the light with no luck.

Then I found these on-line!

I messaged the seller as I too have painted window frames (very old wood), and knowing what I know, I thought instead of taping on, I'd pre-drill holes into the plastic and window frame then screw down. And it worked great! I've attached pictures to show you with the lights on in the house and the lights off (both during the day). The warmer image is the lights on. I wanted the flexibility to remove the strips to clean my window, Otherwise I would have just stuck them down with the tape. I saw a few reviews that mentioned it removed the paint from their window frame, but honestly, wouldn't any adhesive? That's just the way sticky tape and paint goes,...

NYCboi: This product does the trick but will have slight gaps at corners which would still allow a tiny bit of light in. I was able to utilize a whole single piece across the top of the top end of the window. But the heat from the sun buckled it right after installation. However, I was able to reattach it in the evening. By morning the adhesive adhered in place. Be sure to measure correctly or else even hairline gap will allow light through. Very useful product. Just a bit expensive.

Eric in TXEric in TX: This is a premium-priced product. Given that, I'm a bit disappointed that the adhesive did not stick to the walls. Initially, this darkened the room very well. You can see now that the edges left and right have small gaps that let in what actually is a significant amount of light. With the two-piece kit, I was able to block out light on the top and bottom as well. Unfortunately oh, it still lets in a noticeable amount of light on the sides... But better than it used to be. Perhaps customer service will reach out to me with a resolution / solution; otherwise, I may have to resort to glue or screws.
