A Bright New Approach To Wood Blinds!

The New Chalet Wood Blinds Collection features expanded options, colors and finishes in a popularly priced wood blind

The new collection of Hunter Douglas Chalet Wood Blinds offers a more selections than ever before, along with more options and a great price.   Chalet Woods target market continues to evolve…the target market is made up of people who are:

  • 25-54 years old

  • First time home buyers

  • Families with children

  • Brand conscious.

  • Desire quality products at economical prices.

Upon introduction of the new Chalet product line, nothing has been discontinued from the previous sample.  BUT much has been added...

There are 2 new paint colors: Beechnut and Bavarian Cream. These are based on two of the current best selling paint colors in the country, so they may make a great starting place when helping your customer to narrow down their colors choices.

New Paint colors New Distressed finish



Distressed wood finishes have also been added to Chalet. This type of finish has been popular for furniture, cabinetry and wood flooring. Chalet Woods now has an upscale product offering with four new distressed stain colors. These colors have the same base stain colors as the most popular Chalet Woods stain colors. The slats and valance have the popular worm-hole distressed feature that you see in other wood products, but note that the bottom rail will not be distressed.

As an introductory price, the distressed finishes are priced from the current standard Chalet Woods retail list price charts. There is currently no surcharge or premium pricing. This pricing will continue until the next Reference Guide is published in 2007. Take advantage of this great pricing while its available to get your customers into a premium product at a competitive price. 

Two valance profiles, the 3” Standard Valance and the 3¼” Chancellor upgrade valance are available in all 24 colors, including the four new distressed finishes. 6 new colors are available in the 3-1/4” Chancellor Valance. New colors are also available in Decorative tape
