Just a suggestion!

Thanks, but these windows are actually made of a flexible plastic, not like the acrylic found on storm doors. I doesn't seem like they could be replaced with acrylic or glass without also replacing the entire window frames. This is on the side of a patio villa, and I am told it was built at the same time the home was, around 2004. Does anyone else have these type of windows on their lanai? Any help is much appreciated
