To answer your specific question, we used Brian Terry Vinyl. They did a good job, on time, and within estimate. The total cost for acrylic sliders was @ $7000 for a 22x11 lanai. Now for the other part. I agree 100%with VT's post. Contact Sumter County to get the current building codes. We discovered that we had to add a window to our bedroom for an additional escape route. Which we did. Our neighbor was told the same when she inquired about enclosing her lanai.
Next, we were told installing glass windows changes the status of the lanai from a porch to living space. It requires different building standards and becomes taxable! Do your due dillagence!
