(NAPSA)—Imagine a window covering that could “paint” your rooms with light, a totally new window fashion—louvers that seem to float in front of your windows, combining the architectural statement of a shutter, the softness, durability and convenienceof a shade and the variable light control ofa blind. A company that, ever since inventing the first lightweight aluminum blind in the 1940s, has been innovating new ways to cover windows, did imagine such a product, and applied its know-how to producing it. The window covering, from Hunter Douglas, consists of soft, elliptically shaped fabric louvers with a pivoting headrail that is part shutter, part shade, part blind and all about the art of controlling light. The extra-wide 2 3/4” louvers soften and diffuse light with their elliptical, cellular shape. They also control it by rotating 180 degrees from fully opened or fully closed— and anywhere in between—in either direction. What’s more, the louvers raise and lowerlike a shade and appearto float at the window because there are only two front support cords. Alouette” Light Louvers offer an exclusive Pivotal Operating System” so the color-coordinated headrail and bottom rail—which are also elliptical in shape—pivot with the louvers, virtually disappearing into them for integrated form and function. A myriad of fabric options make Alouette Light Louvers go well with any dcor, from traditional to contemporary. The translucent Clair and room-darkening Clair de Lune” (considered ideal for bedrooms and media rooms) come in 50 fashionable color and pattern combinations. Fabric options This cheerful New Orleans breakfast room has tall win- dows featuring a brand new type of window covering. include: a solid print, a traditional linen weave and a print with the look of hand-sponging. There’s even a choice in how they are operated:tilt bar, lift tab or tilt shuttle, depending on preference or window typeorlocation. Due to its unique lightweight fabric construction, the product is available in widths up to 84” and lengths up to a generous 120”. The cellular construction insulates against summer heat and winter cold becauseair is trapped in the louvers. It also protects against 99 percent of UV rays when closed. Although the window treatment looks light and delicate, the non-woven fabric and carefree, bounce-back features mean it’s durable and easy to maintain. The louvers can be easily cleaned with a feather duster, low-suction vacu- uming or compressed air. Spot cleaning is also easy using a damp, soft cloth.
