Transform Your Lanai: Achieve Poolside Privacy with Florida Glass Solutions

Swimming in your pool should feel relaxing and private, but many Florida homeowners face the uncomfortable reality of neighbors watching from nearby yards or lanai enclosures. Standard mesh screens offer little to no privacy, leaving you exposed like you are in a fishbowl. Fortunately, there is a smart solution that balances privacy with natural light: Florida Glass, also known as Glas-Shield.

What Is Florida Glass and How Does It Work?

Florida Glass is a vinyl-laminated screen mesh designed to look like frosted glass. Unlike traditional mesh, it obscures the view from outside while still allowing sunlight to filter through. This creates a private, serene environment without sacrificing brightness or the open-air feel of your lanai.

The product is often installed in the lower panels of a pool cage, typically from the chair rail down. This strategic placement blocks neighbors’ line of sight at eye level while keeping the upper sections clear for unobstructed views of the sky and surrounding landscape.

Benefits of Installing Florida Glass Privacy Screens

• Enhanced Privacy

The obscure screen mesh prevents neighbors from seeing into your pool area, giving you peace of mind and comfort.

• Natural Light Retention

Unlike solid walls or curtains, Florida Glass lets sunlight pass through, maintaining a bright and inviting space.

• Customizable Installation

You can choose to install Florida Glass on specific side walls or just the lower panels, tailoring privacy where you need it most.

• Durability and Weather Resistance

The vinyl-laminated material withstands Florida’s sun, rain, and wind, ensuring long-lasting performance.

How Glas-Shield Installation Transforms Your Lanai

A&F offers professional Glas-Shield installation services that retrofit your existing pool cage. Their team can assess your lanai and recommend which panels to upgrade for maximum privacy without blocking your view or sunlight.

For example, if your neighbors’ windows face your pool directly, installing Florida Glass on those side panels creates a visual barrier. Meanwhile, the front and top panels remain clear, preserving the open-air feeling and allowing you to enjoy the Florida sky.

Practical Tips for Choosing Your Privacy Screen

• Identify the areas where privacy is most needed, such as panels facing neighbors’ homes or busy streets.

• Consider installing Florida Glass only on the lower half of the cage to maintain airflow and light.

• Discuss with your installer about matching the screen color and texture to your home’s style for a seamless look.
