Window Treatments to Preserve Your View

Blind & Shutter Gallery • May 1, 2023

Covering your windows with window treatments doesn't have to mean losing out on your view. Hunter Douglas has developed special fabrics and operating systems that widen your view-through and maintain your access to your outdoors. Our experts at Blind and Shutter Gallery understand the value of your outdoor view and enhance it with our quality Hunter Douglas window treatments, such as:

ClearView® Sheers

ClearView® sheers are special sheer fabrics that preserve your view of the outdoors while protecting your interiors from UV damage. ClearView® sheers are available in Pirouette® and Silhouette® sheer shades. Silhouette® ClearView® Window Sheers consist of S-shaped vanes gracefully fitted between two sheers; Pirouette® ClearView® Window Sheers only use a single sheer backing for a more modern, elegant look. These sheers allow for a shaded view of your outdoors, and both Pirouette® and Silhouette® window shadings can tilt at almost any angle for ideal light control.

Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds with MagnaView®

Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are aluminum blinds perfect for high-activity households or tricky moisture- and traffic-prone areas. Their durable ½", 1", or 2" metal slats come in stunning matte, metallic, and pearlescent finishes, and with the optional MagnaView® feature, nest together for twice the view-through than conventional metal blinds.

Somner® Vertical Blinds

Glass doors extend your living space by giving you easy access to your outdoors. Glass door window treatments should not inhibit this access, making vertical blinds convenient for glass door window coverings.


Homeowners can choose from fabric, vinyl, and aluminum 3 ½" slats and countless color, texture, and pattern combinations with Somner® Vertical Blinds. The patented headrail is engineered for smooth, effortless operation, allowing the slats to independently stack left, right, separated, and centered.

Operating Systems

Certain Hunter Douglas operating systems can also preserve your view-through:


Top-Down/Bottom-Up: Top-Down/Bottom-Up shades can be drawn from either the bottom or top for versatile, custom light control from your preferred angle. Top-Down/Bottom-Up is available on:


  • Duette® Cellular Shades
  • Vignette® Roman Shades
  • Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades
  • Provenance® Woven Wood Shades


Bi-Fold Track: The Bi-Fold Track is ideal for large windows and glass doors. Shutter panels fold smoothly together for a wide-open view. The Bi-Fold track is available on all Hunter Douglas shutters.


SimpleLift®: Streamline your window frame to maintain access to most of your windows. SimpleLift® uses a spring-automated system to easily and accurately lift and lower your Hunter Douglas blinds without the use of cords and conspicuous hardware.
