Wood products are highly prized
for their beauty, warmth, and texture. So it is fitting that Lafayette

Woodland Harvest Collection. Custom Wood Blinds, and Decorative Wood Poles
are fashioned from the finest hardwoods.
The use of these traditional
materials furnish the foundation to create artistic desiugn and the practical
function. Lafayette blends the latest technology with handicrafted workmanship
to produce classic, yet imaginative wood fashions to fit any window opening.
Best of all, the Woodland Harvest Collection is backed by a lifetime warranty-your
guarantee of quality from a company that has produced superior fashions
for almost fifty years.

Wood:
The Responsible Renewable Resource
Many people are concerned that
their use of real wood products may contribute to the destruction of the
environment. The world press has reported widely about the negative effects
of the slash-and-burn agricultural practices in some tropical rain forests.
But these regrettable practices are in no way comparable to the responsible,
sustainable management of America's forests.
The annual harvest of American Basswood
(most commonly used in the WoodLand Harvest Collection) is currently less
than one-third of a year's growth. There has, in fact, been a large net
gain in the species. Such experience is typical of most species in North
American hardwoods. It should also be noted that wood is renewable and
recyclable, in addition to being biodegradable and reusable. The reality
is that wood window fashions are not only Beautiful and functional, they
are the responsible choice as well. |
