Lanai Enclosure
We just went through the same thing you are going through, however we decided not to enclose our lanai. We were going to enclose the lanai with Florida low-e glass slider windows as we were told that they were more durable. We were also told about the increase in taxes if we put in air/heat, however check and see what your Warranty Office says. We were also going to put on a 18 by 16 room and our taxes were only going up $500 a year...well worth the money. Since we also were going to add on, we needed to check and see if our air/heating unit would support the addition. Don't know how truthful the person was, but we needed to buy a bigger unit to support the addition or put on a special unit on just the addition. Good luck in your decision, but in my opinion, I would go with the low-e glass. A little bit more, but the rewards are greater.
