About Us
Clearview Window & Door Accessories’ Mission is to provide premium architectural products as
well as premium customer service to each of its customers. Through constant improvements,
strides for forward thinking, and reliable high quality products, Clearview will continue to strive as
the industry leader in premium architectural accessories.
Clearview is the industry leader in specialized window and trim architectural products. Founded in
1985, Clearview Designs Inc. produced custom windows and doors for private customer, builders,
contractors, and eventually for the entire window and door industry. This success came with
national recognition, including international media coverage in The Wall Street Journal.
In 1995, Clearview Designs became Clearview Window & Door Accessories. Envisioning a need
for high quality custom muntin bars as well as curved and lineal trim for the architectural industry,
Clearview and its founder, Richard Albright, began to concentrate in these fundamental areas. The
name “Clearview”, which was famous for its windows and doors, would soon become the industry
standard in premium architectural products. The achievements of Clearview can be attributed to a
clear vision of success, strong leadership, hard work, and patience. Clearview continually looks for
new and innovative ways to provide its customers premium architectural accessories. It is with
these qualities that Clearview will continue to achieve lasting success in the future.

Curved Mouldings

Muntin Bar Designs

With over 20 years of experience with manufacturing
curved casings, brick moulds, jamb extensions, and other
trim accessories, Clearview provides the highest quality
curved mouldings in the industry. Our innovative yet
proven design process allows us to provide our customers made-to-order curved mouldings in virtually any
shape and size. Because of the high tolerances required
when manufacturing curved mouldings, we use a great
deal of technology to provide a quality product with each
and every order. When it comes to curves, we don’t slow
down – we excel.

Our experienced engineering staff will provide you with a
muntin bar design that encompasses both elegance and
structural integrity. Thorough steps are taken to ensure
each muntin bar design is manufactured for the correct
type of window frame and is manufactured to align with
the muntin bars in other adjacent window frames. Once
the design has been finalized, the order is placed and the
manufacturing process begins. Each muntin bar design
is cut to size unless otherwise specified. When your order
arrives, you will notice three qualities that set our muntin
bars above the rest: the clarity and quality of the wood is
unsurpassed, the assembly of our muntin bars is flawless,
and their beauty will amaze you.

Our curved mouldings are constructed one of two ways:
Traditional Finger-Jointed mouldings consist of several
pieces of hand-selected premium wood joined together
to create one continuous moulding. The moulding is then
cut and shaped to the moulding required or needed.
Traditional Finger-Jointed mouldings come in both stain
grade and paint grade finishes.
Laminated mouldings consist of hand-selected premium
laminates. These laminates are curved to the shape of the
moulding and are bonded together with a clear high
quality adhesive. Because the wood laminates used for
curved laminated mouldings all come from the same
piece of lumber, the wood grains align very well. This
provides an attractive final product ideal for a stained
finish.

Lineal Mouldings
Whether your order of lineal moulding is 10 lineal feet or
100,000 lineal feet, you can be assured that each piece
of moulding will have the very best quality. Each profile is
computer generated and the grinding templates for the
knives are made with a CNC machine. This process and
the precision involved with such a process creates profile
knives that provide high quality results each and every
time. The knives are then used in our state-of-the-art
Weinig moulder. Weinig produces the best moulders in
the world, and we are proud to offer our customers the
high quality products that this moulder is capable of
providing.

Prefinished and Primed Products
All of our products, including lineal and curved mouldings, as well as muntin bars, can be primed and prefinished. Here are the finishes available and suggestions for
making your selection:
Our Standard Primer is useful for products such as
casings, muntin bars, and other interior products. This
primer provides a good undercoat for interior products
that will be painted upon installation.
Our Deluxe Primer is a high quality primer that is ideal for
brickmoulds, subsills, and other exterior products. This
primer provides a good undercoat for exterior products
that will be painted upon installation.
Our Prefinish is a superior paint available on all of our
products. Without the added task of painting products
before or after installation, this white satin finish is ideal
for quick and clean product installations – something
both you and your customers will enjoy.

Mouldings and Profiles
Our library of available profiles for casings, brick moulds,
muntin bars, and other trim accessories is extensive and
always growing. If you are unable to find a profile that
fulfills your needs, send us a sketch or a wood sample of
the profile. Our engineering staff will develop your profile
in our CAD program and submit the design to you for
approval. After approval, you can submit your order to
Clearview, and we’ll begin processing your custom
profile.
