We wanted year around use of our West facing lanai so we added double pane sliding doors (Custom Window), luxury vinyl flooring, non-motorized shades (RK Sunshades) and Mitsubishi ductless a/c (Munn's). The shades were added to eliminate direct sunlight and glare. Non-motorized because there are 4 blinds and the motors are $295 ea. - I can do a lot of pulling for $1,200!
