Most lanais have a ceiling fan(s). This helps some. There are two ways to enclose a lanai. This has to do with taxes. If it is enclosed and there is No air condition and heat and/or there is a step down to the lanai it is taxed at a lower rate. If it is enclosed and there is air condition and heat and No step down to the lanai it is taxed at a higher rate. If you decide to install an HVAC system for the lanai you will have to insulate the ceiling above the lanai. If you get a glass enclosure it might be tempered glass because there is a door single or double pane is a big price difference. It might cost $10,000 - 20,000. Prices are high right now because all the contractors are busy and the supply chain is slow.
