Lockdown Shades
Improve Classroom Safety with
“Code Red” Lockdown Shades in Vancouver
Lockdown shades from Newco Solar Solutions are designed to provide a quick and easy way to obscure the visibility through classroom door windows in Vancouver in the event of a “code red” emergency. When an emergency occurs, putting the safety and security of students and staff at risk, these blinds can be deployed in seconds without hassle.
The shades are constructed using a durable, commercial-grade, allergen-free, flame-retardant, and blackout vinyl. Because each classroom is different, your shades will be custom-made for an exact fit and will be mounted securely to the interior side of the door using stainless steel screws. The weighted aluminum hem bar allows for an immediate free fall of the fabric once the red Velcro strap is pulled.
When not in use, the lockdown shade can be neatly rolled up and secured using the Velcro. There are no mechanical or loose parts associated with the shades, allowing them to be safely used around students of all ages.
The team at Newco Solar Solutions would like to see lockdown shades installed in every classroom throughout Vancouver, Canada, as part of the school's emergency preparedness, training, and planning program. Let’s work together to make our schools safer and give teachers more time to protect our students and themselves. Contact us today to learn more.
Safety planning is an important part of maintaining secure educational spaces. Lockdown shades provide window coverage that can assist schools during emergencies by reducing visibility into classrooms.

► Emergency preparedness support: These interior shades can be included in school safety plans to provide an additional measure during lockdown procedures.
.
► Classroom functionality: The shades can be used during school hours for light control and privacy management.
