DURABILITY COMES
STANDARD WITH
HUNTER DOUGLAS ALOUETTE® LIGHTLOUVERS
Don't be Fooled by
Appearances
Although Hunter Douglas Alouette LightLouvers
look so light and airy, it doesn't mean they're fragile. The Alouette product is one tough
window fashion - it can even withstand abuse from young children!

of non- woven 100 percent polyester

of louvers provides stability
|
|
Interior of
louvers is reinforced with laminated fibers and thermoset chemistry, causing louvers to
bounce back to their original shape, even when dramatically deflected
|

Fabric louvers
are easy to clean and maintain
|
|
Aluminum
headrail is coated with an ultra-durable paint
|
|
Fabric bottom

extensive field testing

What's
so Great About Polyester?
The term "100 percent polyester" is tossed around
a lot when describing Hunter Douglas premium window fashions. What is it about this fabric
that makes it so durable? Polyester (the official name is polyethylene naphthalate) is a
polymer, which is a fancy name for plastic that is made into the fibers used in fabric.
Polyester has many fine qualities - it's strong, crisp and resilient, yet has a soft hand.
It's also resistant to stretching, shrinking and most chemicals, is washable and quick
drying. Polyester also retains heat-set pleats and creases, and is resistant to wrinkles,
mildew and abrasion, which makes it ideal for our window fashions. |
