Plexiglass is another name for acrylic, which is a plastic that is fairly brittle, Lexan is a trade name
for polycarbonate which is very impact resistant
and quite a bit more costly.
I was talking to a sales person from White Aluminum,
and he said they have made protective windows with rolled in vinyl for folks that live on golf courses.
I think he said these go in front of the regular windows.
White Aluminum, has done quite a bit of lanai construction in TV.
