Other Window Treatments |
1. FABRIC/MATERIAL |
Hideaway Helper lock down shades are made with a high-quality, 100% polyester blackout fabric. |
Some window treatment options are made from lower quality, flimsy fabric that may not meet blackout standards. Others are made from materials that are more rigid, bulky and difficult to work with. |
2. DEPLOYMENT |
Hideaway Helper lock down shades require only seconds of reaction time and fall into place within a few moments of being released. This allows more time to get to a safe area, away from any danger.

While some require multiple steps (i.e. securing the shade at the bottom of the window after it has been released). In an emergency, there’s only time to react and move to safety. These extra seconds add up and people become more vulnerable to the dangerous situation. |
