Classroom Window and Door Blackout Shades in Traditional Fabric (Polyester, 8 x 36)

Don't wait until it's too late. Every second counts during a lockdown emergency. ALP Shades are the only classroom blackout shades that feature a quick-release strap AND that secure at the bottom of the window, making them the best choice for every school. No other shade provides an immediate, secure and effective lockdown solution. Unlike many window blinds and blackout curtains, no tools, hardware, mounting brackets, or drilling is required. Our patented design utilizes a strong industrial strength hook and loop adhesive strip and tabs that hold the shade in place and provides the most effective method of dropping and securing the shade to the bottom of the window. Simply release the strap at the top so the shade drops over the window and press the bottom of the shade in place to completely block the intruder's view. Our simple solution to classroom safety requires no extra time in the event of an emergency.

When an active shooter can see into your classroom, students and teachers become targets. ALP blackout shades are much safer options than blackout paper or blackout blinds for windows. ALP offers blackout shades in two unique fabrics to protect your classroom: the premium standard in lockdown shade protection and a flame retardant, traditional blackout fabric made from industrial strength polyester that meets all NFPA 701 criteria.

Measuring accurately is critical to get the correct size for your classroom window. Before you order, please read the instructions about how to measure and review our "How To" picture. ALP Lockdown Shades are 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 to fit any window, such as sidelights, media centers, and entrance ways.

The quick-release strap on our shades ensures that every second counts during a lockdown. The adhesive strip at the bottom acts as a weighted hembar to drop the shade, and our patented design features adhesive tabs that secure to the bottom of the window, requiring no extra time in the event of an emergency. Unlike many window blinds and blackout curtains, no tools, hardware, mounting brackets, or drilling is required for easy installation and use.

Don't wait until it's too late. 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. Every ALP blackout shade is made in our own factory in New Jersey, ensuring high quality and American-made craftsmanship.
