ABSTRACT:
An improved more fabric-like, softer feel surface for a single layer or composite structures, such as utilized for vertical and horizontal blind louvers or slats. A patterned, textured or printed, surface can be formed on one or both sides of the structure. The improved surface provides an enhanced visual and tactile impression. The structure is formed of a single layer of a non-rigid plasticized thermoplastic polymer or a composite structure with a substantially rigid thermoplastic PVC, CPVC or ABS substrate and the softer surface formed by a non-rigid plasticized thermoplastic polymer layer or capstock formed on one or both sides. Either or both of the softer surfaces can be formed with different pigments, including pearlescent and colors, can be printed or patterned and can be embossed with or without an underlying pattern providing a virtually endless array of options.
