We installed acrylic windows in our lanai about 1 year after we moved in. We decided to upgrade to glass windows. The acrylic windows went from floor to ceiling but the glass windows only go down to about 3 feet from the floor. That area is now walled and has electrical outlets so we have a little less window area than the acrylic. We basically didn't really do any other modifications to the lanai. We did replace the siding on the interior of the lanai with wall board but pretty much that was it. For the work we used Custom Windows who we had used earlier for the acrylic windows and driveway paving. The glass windows were tinted so that you couldn't see in during the daytime but at night it works in reverse, you can't see out.
We didn't add any AC or heat and for the most part that works for us. We have sliding doors into the living room which we had before.
So far I'm very happy with the work on the lanai. In the future we may add AC and heat but for now we're just staying put.
