Custom Windows did a great job glassing in part of our lenai.
Ours has very high ceilings and we wound up using fixed panes above stacked sliders.

Also where there was some irregular geometry we employed fixed panes as well.

When all sliders are open we have 80% open compared to before enclosing.

We had a heat gain/loss done and could not justify double pane.

When we had ours done 4 years ago there was a code in Sumter County that to have HVAC added (Mitsubishi unit) the floor had to be raised to the same level as the home interior. We chose to not do it.

From what I understand that code has been changed and no longer required. Check it out.
