What's This?

New Options For

Affordable Wood Blinds From Hunter Douglas

Now there is no reason for your budget-conscious customers have to settle for anything less than 
Hunter Douglas wood blinds.  The popularly priced Chalet Woods® collection has recently been expanded to better fit the needs of your customers.  We have added the best features and the most popular options to Chalet Woods.  The updated Chalet Woods Collection includes: 

A new selection of 2½" slats
The top ten best selling colors in Chalet Woods are now available in a 2½" slat.  The 2½ slats for Chalet are flat (rather than the beveled slat of Country Woods Refelections).  The slats are the same thickness as the 2" slat, but the deeper look of the wide slat makes a strong appearance that provides a clearer view to the outdoors.  

A Revised Color Palette
Colors have been added and removed from the Chalet Woods collection to keep with current color trends.  There are a total of eighteen stain and paint colors in 2" slats and the ten most popular colors are available in the 2½" slat.

LiteRise™ For Enhanced Child Safety
Previously unavailable in Chalet, LiteRise™, the popular Hunter Douglas,   cordless lifting system can now be added as an option to make it easy to lift 2" Chalet Wood Blinds with the touch of a finger. 

LiteRise™ is available on blinds made with the 2" slat only. The de-Light™ feature (below) and decorative tapes are not available on Chalet wood blinds made with LiteRise™.

Chalet woods blinds are made with the HeadMaster™ low profile headrail. A cord-tilt is standard for both slat sizes, but wand-tilt is also available as an option for the 2" product only.  

Traditional Routed blinds have cords running through holes in the wood slats.

 The de-Light™ option eliminates the holes and cords running through the wood slats 

A decorative tape can be used to accent the look

Chalet may be ordered as traditional routed blinds or with the de-Light™ feature that eliminates rout holes.  Blinds made with traditional rout holes may be ordered with standard ladders or with optional decorative tapes.  

New Colors In Decorative Tapes
The colors of decorative tapes have been expanded as well and new prints have been added to the collection.  which have also been expanded.  

Chancellor 3¼" Valance

Standard 3" Valance

Upgrade To Chancellor Valance System
A stylish 3" valance ias provided for each Chalet wood blind.  The bolder 3¼" Chancellor valeance is available as an optional upgraade. Both valances are available in all eighteen colors of Chalet Woods. Both  valance options may be selected for either 2" or 2½" slats.  

All valances are mounted with the hidden valance clip (left) that is easy to install and is completely out of view. 

The new Chalet sample deck contains everything you need to sell Chalet Woods in a compact slat deck case that is easy to carry and use and protects the sample slats
