We have had two houses and enclosed both. Single pane. Don’t get sucked into double pain unless you have a west facing lanai with unobstructed view. We put insulation in the first house with 280 sq ft lanai. In second home we did not with 500 sq ft. Hardly noticed a difference. We put two mini splits in second lanai. We love it. One thing that is nice the villages weather and temp from late Oct to middle of April is great. Mini splits use was minimal. We use our lanai all the time. It’s well worth the cost to enclose and pit mini splits in. Ask contractor to put in the flush ceiling mounted mini.
