Privacy & Florida Glass in University Park, FL

The villa streets of Palm Aire and University Park put lanais a few yards apart, and a screened patio that faces the neighbor's screened patio is not much of a retreat. Privacy screen and Florida glass solve that on the panels where it matters, without turning a screened lanai into a walled room. If your lanai looks straight into the one next door, this is the visit.

Two products, two jobs

Florida glass is not glass. It is standard fiberglass screen laminated with a vinyl backing, which makes it opaque and solid to wind and water while still going into the same screen channels as everything else. It reads as a soft, frosted panel. On lower walls it blocks blown sprinkler water and pool splash. On a boundary wall it ends the sightline from next door entirely.

Privacy mesh is a denser weave that cuts what can be seen through it and softens the light without sealing the panel. Air still moves. It is the middle option for a wall where a full Florida glass panel would feel closed in.

Both are usually installed as a band or a single wall rather than a whole cage. Florida glass on the lower panels of the neighbor-facing wall, with standard mesh above, is the most common corridor configuration, since it keeps the breeze and the view of the fairway.

Association approval

Every community here is deed-restricted, and privacy panels are a change rather than like-for-like, so they usually go through architectural review. Florida glass and privacy mesh come in shades that match standard charcoal screen, and the contractor prepares what the review needs before anything is scheduled.

As part of a larger job

Privacy panels install alongside a pool cage rescreen or a lanai rescreen, and they can be added to a cage whose other panels are sound. Because the frame is unchanged, the work generally does not require a permit in either county.
