Flooring resistant to moisture like tile, vinyl...
Insulate the roof above the Lanai
Tinted glass to help cool

Your taxes will increase.
Our taxes did not increase when we converted Lanai to Florida Room. As I recall it is because they are on slightly different levels.

Glass was double pane low E.

We are considering whether to add a split so far 50/50 on whether we will do it.
