Single pane full length sliders, mostly due to cost. Didn’t think double was necessary

Love the mini split. Use both temps seasonally. Comes to temperature within 20 minutes. Lanai is about 14x28.

We face west & have roll down shades, which are often at 1/2 down on whichever side the sun is coming in

Floor not raised.

We love it because the main house stays at a more consistent temperature year round, saving energy costs. Lanai is much cleaner. Although we hear some traffic noise (mostly fire engines) it makes our lanai a 4 season room. We no longer use our inside dining room.

The sliders are rated for hurricane cat 1. We took them out once but won’t bother again. But it is doable.

Only problem we ever had, 6 years later, is one latch snapped off (our error). It was replaced quickly at no charge
