Basics by Wayfair Global Medallion Print Room Darkening Grommet Curtain Panel
Skip unless Wayfair discloses the darkening treatment; water-repellent coating coatings on curtains often contain PFAS.
Room-darkening curtains typically require water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) or thermal coatings to function. Wayfair makes no public disclosure of what chemical treatment this panel uses, and the brand does not claim PFAS-free status.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
