September 2007 Sample Book Order Form
| FYI - Vignette®, Duette®, Applause® and Provenance® Changes |
Fold Index Change on Vignette® Modern Roman Shades 
Effective September 4, 2007, all Vignette® Modern Roman Shades will be indexed from the top down. Height adjustments will now be made at the bottom of shade rather than the top to coordinate easier with the new Top-Down/Bottom-Up lift option, since they are all fabricated using the same process.
This change eliminates the potential for a top fold being slighter longer or shorter than other folds. To achieve the exact ordered height of a shade, the bottom fold (attached to the bottom rail) may need to be slightly shorter than other folds.
Minimum Height Change Effects EasyRise™ Duette® and Applause®
The minimum ordered height for Alustra® Duette®, Duette and Applause® honeycomb shades with EasyRise® has been increased to 24”. (Increase went into effect July 2, 2007.)
The increase applies to standard and Two-On-One headrail shades in anticipation of the revised American National Standard for Safety of Corded Window Covering Products.
Important Provenance® Woven Woods Information
Hunter Douglas has discontinued all three sizes of beige headrails in the Provenance® woven wood line. The beige color will be replaced with the natural color headrail.
Headrails will be replaced as follows:
RWC600073 replaced with RWC600070
WWC902142 replaced with WWC902143
