We have enclosed our Lanai with acrylic and it is tinted. We do not face a wall but we are having vertical blinds put in this week to stop the afternoon sun. We had our floor painted and the speckles out into it. That worked great.
We also have both wicker and wrought iron. Wicker in our seating area and wrought iron for our table and chairs.
Also we bought a stand up air conditioner/heater/dehumidifier (from Lowes or Home Depot, I forget which) that is portable for use in windows. We had someone who works with acrylic to put in a whole for the vent and the drain tube. Because the drain tube was too low and we would have to cut through the metal from of the sliders we made a wood frame 8 inches high and bought an 18 inch floor tile to put on the frame and everything matches perfectly. By putting in this AC unit which is also a dehumidifier and a heater you will not have to pay taxes on an additinal room. If you have one installed it will be considered a room and you can get taxed on it. Good luck
