If you are going to spend this kind of money, do it right. We just enclosed our lanai and here’s what we did:
1) Used double pane windows with sliding windows on the ends for cross breezes.
2) leveled the floor to match the height of the floor in the main house
3) used the same tile as what’s in the house so the lanai looks like an extension to the house
4) add electrical outlets, cable rg6, and rg45 Ethernet cabling
5) use quality blinds to block the sun and heat from coming inside.
6) used Custom Windows to do the work. Since we have the sliders that open all the way behind the walls, we don’t really need any additional heat/cooling source.
