We enclosed our Lanai early this year. We are pleased that we went with glass vs acrylic. Heavier yes, but if it is a quality product and installed correctly, the glass panels slide easily, practically with one hand. The extra cost of glass over the years you will be in your home will lessen the concern about the price. Glass cleans easily with no concerns about using the wrong product which might damage the vinyl. We have a medium tint and had Cool-la-Roo blinds reinstalled since we get a lot of sun in the PM. Plus if down the road you decide to enclose your lanai, new codes dictate glass, floor leveled, outlets installed according to code, etc. Message me if you like and we can show your ours.
