Make Your Sun-Baked Lanai Your Favorite Room
In Clearwater, the lanai, pool deck, and covered patio are the heart of the home — but the intense Gulf sun, glare, and bugs can drive you inside for the best hours of the day, and the sun fades your outdoor furniture. Your favorite space goes unused when you most want to enjoy the Gulf breeze.
Exterior solar screens fix it. They block UV and radiant heat before it reaches you, drop the ambient temperature, cut glare, and add privacy, all while preserving your view — and they help keep out bugs and no-see-ums. That turns a sun-baked lanai into a comfortable outdoor room you can use year-round. Our premium exterior systems are engineered for Gulf Coast UV, humidity, and salt air, in a range of openness factors and manual or motorized operation. (Note: these provide sun, heat, glare, privacy, and bug control — they are not code-rated hurricane shutters.)

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior & Lanai Shades in Clearwater
How much cooler do exterior lanai shades make a Clearwater outdoor space?
Exterior solar screens can drop your lanai or patio’s ambient temperature significantly by blocking UV and radiant heat before it reaches you. In Clearwater’s intense sun, that’s often the difference between a lanai you avoid midday and one you use year-round.
They also cut glare, add privacy, and help keep bugs and no-see-ums out.
Will exterior shades block my view?
No — solar-screen fabrics preserve your outward view during the day while blocking heat, UV, and glare. The openness factor sets the balance: tighter weaves give more blockage and privacy, more open weaves keep a clearer view.
