Florida is known for its gorgeous sunshine and spectacular views. Inside your home, though, the two don’t always work together. Uncontrolled light can create glare, heat, and discomfort—making it difficult to enjoy the view you love. That’s why we’re excited about an innovation from Hunter Douglas: ClearView® sheer fabrics.
These advanced window shades are designed to deliver both light control and a clearer view-through, so you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without sacrificing comfort. This feature is available in collections like Silhouette® Window Shadings, as well as Pirouette® Window Shadings and Duette® Honeycomb Shades.
What Makes ClearView® Different?
ClearView® sheer fabrics offer a noticeably sharper view compared to traditional sheers. While standard sheer shades soften the landscape, ClearView uses a darker, more transparent rear sheer to enhance contrast and clarity.
The result? Outdoor scenery appears more defined, more vibrant, and more true-to-life—without losing the soft, filtered light that sheer shades are known for.
ClearView® Across Multiple Shade Styles
Silhouette® Window Shadings
With Silhouette® Window Shadings, ClearView® enhances the signature floating vane design by creating a crisp, detailed view through the window. When the vanes are open, they appear nearly invisible, allowing your outdoor scenery to take center stage.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
ClearView® is also available with Duette® Honeycomb Shades, combining improved visibility with energy-efficient construction. This makes them a smart option for homeowners who want both insulation and view-through benefits.
Pirouette® Window Shadings
With Pirouette® Window Shadings, the difference between ClearView® and traditional fabrics is easy to see. ClearView delivers a sharper, more defined outdoor view, while traditional sheers create a softer, more diffused appearance.
Benefits of ClearView® Sheer Fabrics
Beyond the enhanced view, ClearView® offers several benefits that make it ideal for Florida homes:
- Reduces harsh glare from intense sunlight
- Diffuses natural light for a comfortable atmosphere
- Helps protect interiors from harmful UV rays
- Maintains a strong connection to outdoor views
For homes with large windows, these benefits can make a significant difference in comfort and usability.
ClearView® vs Traditional Sheer Shades
So how does ClearView® compare to traditional sheer fabrics? The biggest difference comes down to clarity and privacy.
ClearView® offers a more open, crisp view to the outside, while traditional sheers provide a softer look with increased privacy. Both options have their place—it simply depends on your priorities.
The good news? You don’t have to choose just one throughout your home. Many homeowners mix both options depending on the room and the level of privacy needed.
