Without a doubt, low E glass is the way to go. Screen resulted in too much dirt and wet area...always cleaning for everything was always dirty. PLUS in the summer it was tooo hot (Especially if you have a western facing lanai)and winter too chilly. We raised the lanai floor and actully ended up expanding our living area by enlosing it and adding heat/ac. WE can open the screen sliders and have 50% breeze( best of both worlds) for those months that are just right.
