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.

Thanks for that clarification. As I said previously, ours are double paned glass. He can call it Cat 2 all day long but it’s his definition not the FL building code.
