ALP Lockdown Shades Classroom Darkening Review

STANDARD AND CUSTOM SIZING: IMPORTANT: Please add 3" to your width and 5" to your length before choosing your size to ensure a proper fit. Available in 9 standard sizes which cover most interior windows in elementary, middle and high schools, as well as universities and colleges. We also offer custom sized shades for windows to fit any other size window, such as sidelights, media centers, and entrance ways. QUICK-RELEASE VELCRO STRAP: Every second counts during a lockdown. The most effective shade must be easily and quickly secured at the top AND bottom of the window. Our shade features a quick-release Velcro strap and patented design with tabs that provide the most effective method of dropping and securing the shade to the bottom of the window, requiring no extra time in the event of an emergency. DON’T WAIT UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE: When an active shooter can see into your classroom, students and teachers become targets. A blackout shade can save lives, but it is crucial that it completely blacks out the classroom to effectively ensure the safety and security of everyone. Our shade is a much safer option than blackout paper shades or blackout blinds for windows. EASY TO CLEAN, FLAME RETARDANT FABRIC: ALP Lockdown Shades are made from easy to clean, flame retardant fabric. Simply wipe with a damp cloth. Our blackout shades are made from industrial strength polyester vinyl that is flame retardant and meets all NFPA 701-1 criteria. EASY TO INSTALL, EASY TO USE: Unlike many window blinds and blackout curtains, no tools, hardware, mounting brackets, or drilling is required. Strong adhesive tabs hold the shade in place. Simply release the Velcro strap at the top so the shade drops over the window and press bottom of shade in place to completely block the intruder’s view.
