Default Solar shades or cellular shades

We have an addition that has ceiling to floor windows across the back wall.
we are looking to either put up solar or cellular shades

Has anyone had any experience with 3 Day Blinds or RK sunshades or Shades Brothers?

We would be looking for motorized......please let me know your experience or suggestions

Thank you

Default Face south

The windows face south but they do have a reflective film that helps with the heat .

Our concern is more privacy at night,,,,in the day no one can see in, but at night you can see straight through the house and anyone in the house.

so we will be looking for something that is light filtering

We actually like old fashion blinds as these are adjustable, we have these in all of the windows, so I cannot suggest other types of shades. We do have roll up shades in the lanai and these are nice however, they are up or down with ho adjustment for the amount of light.

Default RK Sunshades

We had ours put in 3 years ago. They were very good throughout the installation process. We had a couple of questions after. They do a great job of walking you through any questions via the phone, or the come over right away to make any necessary adjustment. Great people.
