Default Re: Glassing in the lanai

We glassed in our lanai, enlarged it also. Yes it is considered a "room", the asseror came out and measured the outside. We have not received the amount of increase yet but don't expect it to be more than 200/300 dollars. If you heat and cool it it is even more. We just went from lanai 9x20 to an L shape 10x12 and 15x18.

The acrylic are rated to 75mph and should be taken out if winds are expected above that.

Our builder had a room on a house which went thru the tornado, the house have a fair amount of damage but the room had a tear in a screen and a scratch on the glass.

we put in a portable room air conditioner and some solar shades.

We are in "the room" all the time.
