We went to open houses that had enclosed lanai, sitting for 10 minutes. Single pane if there was any noise outside, (cars, lawn mowers, barking or sometimes loud talking) it was as if there wasn't a window there at all.
Double did a better job for noise, but we found a triple that seemed close to sound proof.
Splinters, In full sun without shades they seemed to work ok. Full shade, I would hold off until you live with it awhile. Open windows and see what works.
We choose not to enclose, we enjoy the outside, have water resistant curtains that keeps elements out if needed.
