jalousie

Dr Green said modern architectural trends are worsening resilience and the move from traditional jalousie windows with slats to fixed glass can leave buildings more exposed.

Her family’s home lacked air conditioning, but they didn’t need it: their jalousie windows let in the sea breeze.

I’m replacing the old jalousie windows with full-length screens and putting in a beadboard ceiling.

The jalousies have all been closed, and the men are spread around the room as if assuming lookout posts.

I open the jalousies beside my bed and look out past the patio to the yard beyond.
