If you are looking for privacy, then light filtering shades are a great solution.   They work like lamp shades and bring light into a room while still providing complete privacy.  Different styles and fabrics can block up to 99.5% of incoming UV Rays, which will also create a cooler room.  If you have guests staying in your lanai that need privacy, want to brighten a room, or need a cooler room, light filtering shades from Shade Masters USA are a great choice!
