We are having All Season Rooms do ours the day after tomorrow. The lanai is 15 x 30 with one end being a bedroom wall so no glass on the 3rd side. We are using argon filled insulated glass with a lifetime transferrable warranty which is great for re-sale. The configuration is for each 15' section on the front of the lanai there will be 4 panels, the two outer panels will be fixed and the two in the center will slide open with sliding screens so they can be used as exits if we choose to do so. The 15' side wall will be made of two 2 panel doors that will slide open from both ends with sliding screens and the center two panels will be fixed. This configuration will allow us to easily clean the outside of the glass without removing any of the panels, will give us 50% of the airflow that we currently have without the panels and the ceiling will be insulated to help a little. I'm not concerned about insects coming in if the screens don't seal tightly with the lights on after dark as if that becomes a problem we will simply close the doors when the sun goes down, we don't plan on making this an extension of our living area, it will continue to be used as a combination lanai/sun room. The main reason we are doing this is so we can use it when it's raining and when it's cold outside along with not having to clean it so often especially in pollen season.
