We enclosed our lanai with sliding glass doors under the existing roof. One side has 9 feet of screen and the other 6 feet. We have ceramic tile throughout the house and were able to get the same tile for the Florida room. We took the sliding glass door out separating the living room and lanai or now Florida room, and brought the lanai (Florida room) floor up to level. The next step is to put insulation in the roof above the room and a vent for air.
We made one mistake, though. We should have purchased smoke glass instead of clear glass. Also, we purchased see-through shades instead of regular shades. The sun heats the room up and now we have to figure out something to shield the sun, maybe canvass awning.
We are very happy with the room and the workmanship was excellent.
