Preserving Your View with High-Quality Clear Vinyl

When choosing the best material for your porch enclosures, maintaining a clear and lasting view is essential. At Porch Enclosure Systems, we offer a premium clear vinyl product known as sheet glass to meet this need.

What Makes Our Clear Vinyl Superior?

Our clear vinyl comes in large sheets, measuring 110″ by 54″, which is the maximum size available for pressed clear vinyl. These sheets can be oriented either horizontally or vertically to best suit your space. For curtains wider than 110″, we offer the option of centering the clear vinyl or using two sheets with a minimal 2″ seam between them.

Unlike lower-quality options like roll glass or polished clear vinyl, our clear vinyl is pressed into sheets. This pressing process increases the density of the vinyl, resulting in several key benefits:

  • Enhanced Clarity and Longevity: The dense structure of our clear vinyl is less susceptible to staining, cloudiness, and typical expansion and shrinkage due to temperature changes. This ensures your view remains crystal clear for years to come.
  • Resistance to Dirt and Pollen: Thanks to its dense composition, our clear vinyl sheds dust, dirt, and pollen more effectively. Often, a simple rinse with rainwater or a garden hose is enough to keep it looking pristine.
  • Stable Sizing: Cheaper clear vinyl products, like roll glass, may stretch or shrink over time, leading to a looser, less tailored appearance—similar to that of a shower curtain. In contrast, our sheet glass maintains its form, ensuring a snug fit that preserves the aesthetics of your enclosure.

Our clear vinyl is enhanced by the top fabric that not only compliments the design but also offers crucial protection. When rolled up, this fabric layer shields the clear vinyl from potential damage and adds a barrier between the vinyl and the pull cord, especially during extended periods of being rolled up. This ensures that your clear vinyl remains in top condition over time.

Experience the Difference

We encourage our prospects to conduct a simple test at home: Place two pieces of masking tape 53″ apart vertically on your porch, then sit and stand in your favorite spots. This exercise will help you visualize the impact on your view. Most find that the fabric’s placement has little effect on their overall view, and the clarity of our high-quality vinyl is more than adequate.

Our PES significantly changed how this New Jersey couple uses their outdoor space. The high quality sheet glass, fabric and hardware allows the homeowners to convert their outdoor space in a fully functioning 3 season room. 

Even in the snowy cold of Steamboat Springs, our enclosure transforms this outdoor space into a protected retreat, perfect for enjoying the winter views.

Upgraded clear vinyl, combined with durability and comfort, makes the overall experience truly worthwhile. 

See for Yourself

The height of our clear vinyl is more than sufficient to preserve and even enhance your view, as seen in the photos above. Our customers consistently express satisfaction with the outcome and enjoy unobstructed views once their curtains are installed.
