Almost every contractor I've spoken to doesn't know or interpret the building correctly.
Best source is the building dept for info.
Don't use aluminum framing the heat lost in winter and gain in summer will make you regret it.
Also get the right glass insulated is not the only thing to look at it is also the type glass
Do it right!

Agree, we had the floor raised and tiled to match the interior floor and eliminate a tripping hazard. Not required but makes life, for us, easier. We also have a small bird cage at one end of the Lanai if we want to be outside and had the cement pad extended and pavers installed if we really want to be outside. Lots of options but I agree with the poster, if you are going to be here a long time, do it right.
