A
More Traditional Look
When Alouette®
LightLouvers are
installed with a fabric-covered
valance, the look is more like a
traditional shade or blind, as shown
in the illustrations on this page.
Note that, when the louvers are
raised, the stacked louvers are not
concealed within the fabric-covered
valance.
How
it Affects Installation
At the factory, the
pivot pads are installed into the
valance end caps and secured in place.
At the customer’s home, the
installer simply attaches the
fabric-covered valance to the mounting
surface using Vignette®
installation
brackets.
Retrofitting
Existing Alouette LightLouvers
Existing Alouette installations may be retrofit with the fabric-covered valance (except inside mount bar systems and end mount applications). The ordered width of the valance should be the same as the ordered width of the installed Alouette LightLouvers.
When retrofitting, first remove the current installation brackets. Then secure the Alouette LightLouvers to the valance end caps and install the assembled unit using Vignette installation brackets.
See this Retrofit
Guide for complete details. Note: that the length of the louvers will increase by 1/4" after retrofitting. Inside
mounted LightLouvers will normally need to be shortened by that amount for proper functioning. Instructions
for doing this are included in this excerpt
from the Alouette Owner’s Guide.
