We are hoping to make it a sleeping area in a pinch during the spring, summer and fall so also wondered if it needed to be heated or would leaving the slider into the house open, get enough cool air into the lanai. Costs seem to mount with every idea!
Who was your installer and are they still in business?
Thanks for any input......from anyone.

We have had our acrylic windows for 7-8 years..I'd have to go find the receipt to get you the exact time. We are very careful cleaning them. My husband removes them (easy to do) and takes them into the courtyard where he washes them using our power washer (gently!) I can get his instructions but I will bet my life he uses Simple Green for the cleaning solution. Wipe gently and let them finish drying. Our windows are not floor-to-celing. You should check with your electric company as to cooling and heating the space. When the heating and air conditioning was laid out for your home it was done according to specific requirements, square footage, windows and doors, etc. Adding space to be heated and cooled may well put a burden on your heating and cooling system. We do not leave the sliding doors open to this space unless our heat or air is off. We hired Express Windows in Belleview to do the work.....we were very happy with the job they did. As far as I know they are still in business.
