A glass enclosure changed nothing as far as tax assessments and even if it did, the comfort it provides for the rest of the time I am living in that house and the work saved by not having to clean up the dirt in a screened in area would be more than worth it.

We DO live in Florida and I was always concerned about hurricanes ...having glass compared to acrylic.....well i just feel safer for glass windows can withstand 110 mph winds where acrylic windows are built to no wind standards and in fact it is recommended that they be taken down if 70 mph winds or more are expected. Especially when you consider the overall cost between glass and acrylic windows installed is really not that much differnet.
