Jalousie Windows |
Also called a louvered window, a jalousie window is made like a glass shutter, from several parallel panes of glass that open in unison. The word comes from the French jalousie (jealousy) and, in the Sixteenth Century, referred to shuttered covers for window openings.Like today's wood shutters, those early coverings employed a series of wooden slats sloped to shed rain and direct sun but admit air and light. Jalousie windows were installed in many warm-climate American homes before the widespread popularity of air conditioning. In recent years, however, they've lost favor because most permit excessive air infiltration between the panes, allowing uncomfortable drafts and costly heat loss.
