We have the coolaroo inside shades on our northwest facing lanai. It has helped keep the heat level down in the summer. We have the medium % of vision block (I think 90 % or less blockage) so we can still see through them. We also have tinted acrylic windows which help as well. They operate easier than thr heavy Roman shades that we had before. I know some have talked about outside mounted shades but I would think weather, dust dirt and flying grass particles from mowers would mean a quick deterioration in looks.
