Are your jalousie windows worn out or need replacement? The exact type of window we currently have is no longer manufactured. They can be repaired, but to replace them, you will need to choose a new manufacturer. The new windows you choose should look uniform with the rest of the building.
There are several companies out there, but most of them use the same manufacturer. Tradewinds Jalousies are used by most companies on island. They are manufactured, sold and installed by RMA Sales, but other companies on island can get and install them. If you have your own installer, they can also just be manufactured by Tradewinds for your purchase. Please click/tap here to see the Tradewinds brochure for product and contact info.
These jalousies are aluminum extrusions and made with a blend of recycled aluminum billet, which would match our current windows the closest. If you can find a jalousie that matches or fits your budget better, feel free to submit those to the board. The board is not recommending these are the exact windows you have to use, rather just providing examples of the specifications that are needed for board approval. Jalousies like these would more than likely be approved for their uniformity. Just remember to adhere to the following House Rules:
