Land O' Lakes earned its name from dozens of lakes, and many homes face the water. West Shore Shade fits roller, zebra and woven wood designer shades for older lake homes and newer planned communities.
Solar screen roller shades are the best fit for most Land O' Lakes lake views. A 5% or 10% openness keeps the water in sight while cutting glare. Zebra and woven wood suit rooms away from the lake. West Shore Shade compares real swatches at your windows during a free in-home consultation.
Land O' Lakes sits in central Pasco County along US 41 and State Road 54. Older homes line lakes such as Lake Padgett. Newer planned communities such as Connerton and Bexley add many new builds. The light problem differs between the two. Each home needs its own plan.
Older lake homes often have a long rear wall of windows facing the water. Reflected light enters low and strong in the morning or evening. Solar screen rollers handle this while keeping the view. Older frames may also be deeper, which helps inside mounts. Docks, boats and wildlife are part of the view, so most owners want to keep it.
Newer builds often face ponds rather than open lakes. Their windows are larger and frames are often shallower. Many associations in these communities also set rules for the street side. We plan fabrics and mounts around both. Ponds still reflect light, though less than a large lake. Many homes also back onto conservation areas with open sun.
Lake homes often have docks and boats in view of the bedrooms. Unlined woven wood shows silhouettes at night, so add a liner there. Our own crew measures every window during your free in-home consultation. We bring real fabric swatches to that visit. Call (813) 252-6813 to book.
Every style is custom-made for your windows with chain or cordless lift. Here is how each one fits homes in this area.
Land O' Lakes lakefront rooms need glare control on the water side. A 10% solar screen roller gives the clearest view of the lake. A 1% or 3% fabric gives more privacy from passing boats.

Zebra shades fit Land O' Lakes bedrooms and front rooms facing the street. Close the bands for privacy or offset them for daylight. Dim-out zebra fabric darkens a room but is not blackout.

Woven wood shades suit the relaxed feel of a lake home. Reed bamboo or Snow paper blend works well in a sunroom. Add a light-filtering liner on any window seen from the dock at night.
Woven wood details →Land O' Lakes homes take sun from the sky and glare from the lake. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that about 76% of sunlight hitting standard double-pane windows enters to become heat. That happens during the cooling season. Solar screen rollers on lake-facing glass reduce that load.
The same roller, zebra and woven wood styles come motorized. Use a remote, a wall switch or your smart-home app. Every motor carries our lifetime motor warranty.
For the clearest lake view, choose 10% openness. For more privacy and glare control, choose 3% or 1%. A 5% fabric sits in the middle. We bring real swatches so you can hold each one against your own Land O' Lakes window.
Many associations in newer planned communities set rules for how windows look from the street. A neutral color or white back usually meets them. Rules differ by community. Bring your guidelines to your free in-home consultation and we will match fabrics.
Not always, but most bedrooms and street-facing rooms need one. Unlined woven wood shows silhouettes at night when lights are on. A light-filtering liner adds privacy. A room-darkening liner adds privacy and darkness for sleep.
