Don’t wait until it’s too late. Every second counts during a lockdown emergency. When an active shooter can see into your classroom, students and teachers become targets. 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. ALP blackout shades are much safer options than blackout paper or blackout blinds for windows.

STANDARD AND CUSTOM SIZING: IMPORTANT: Please add 3″ to your glass 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 to fit any window, such as sidelights, media centers, and entrance ways.
HIGH QUALITY BLACKOUT FABRIC: the premium standard in lockdown shade protection.
QUICK-RELEASE 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. ALP Lockdown Shades feature a quick-release strap. The adhesive strip at the bottom acts as a weighted hembar to drop the shade. Our patented design features adhesive tabs that secure to the bottom of the window, requiring no extra time in the event of an emergency.
FLAME RETARDANT, TRADITIONAL BLACKOUT FABRIC: Made from industrial strength polyester that is flame retardant. Meets all NFPA 701 criteria
EASY TO INSTALL, EASY TO USE: Unlike many window blinds and blackout curtains, no tools, hardware, mounting brackets, or drilling is required. A strong industrial strength hook and loop adhesive strip and tabs hold the shade in place. Simply release the 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.
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 shades are much safer options than blackout paper shades or blackout blinds for windows.
Made In USA: Every ALP blackout shade is made in our own factory in New Jersey.
