Florida building code definition:
"Category II: A roof or a covering of an outdoor space with enclosed walls. The openings are permitted to be enclosed with translucent or transparent plastic or glass. The space is defined as nonhabitable and unconditioned."
Category 2 sunrooms are usually built with acrylic windows. This is the most common type of sunroom as going up to the next category is usual a substantial jump in $$$. Acrylic windows are a plexi-glass like material however they look just like glass to the untrained eye . Acrylic windows intended to be removed during hurricane force winds and are not totally water tight. They keep out 99.9% of water but some drips can still get through.
