Question from KJ

Nowadays, most of the window shades have acrylic foam lining to block out the sun. It is hard to find just cotton shade with extra lining. I have looked at some at Country Curtains.

What do you think about these lining? Also, when cotton/polyester curtains/shades are exposed to Florida sun, does it off gas?

Thank you

Debra’s Answer

I wouldn’t put an acrylic window shade on a Florida window. Heat makes plastic outgas.
