We had just recently sliders put in all the way around with sliding screen doors so we can easily clean the glass when needed. The arrangement we have gives us 50% of the screened air we used to have when it was just screen. So far it seems to be enough to allow air to flow when we want it. We used double pane argon filled glass doors, not tinted as we did not want to loose light. If you choose to put in sliders with fixed screening all the way around you will have to lift the doors out of the frames to clean the outside of the glass and i'm too old to be doing that as they are heavy. Another nice feature of doors with sliding screens is you can enter or exit your lanai in several different spots. We chose All Season Rooms to do the job as he was the only one that offered a lifetime warranty that is transferrable to the next owner his price was also very competitive. They did a very good job and we are well satisfied, no leaks, and no bugs, no regrets.
