stretchable vinyl lanai enclosure
So - never thought we would want to enclose our lanai, but the time has come. I don't want to have to depend on the weather to use it for cards/entertaining.
Got 1st estimate from White Aluminum - single pane glass (we don't care if it leaks) and acrylic were nearly the same - per sales rep, since acrylic is petroleum based product, prices have skyrocketed lately.
When I asked if any other alternative, he showed me a stretchable vinyl product, said he had it in his former home for 12 years and still looked good when he sold the home. Doesn't scratch like acrylic, less than 1/2 the price of either and looked good to me. Can be clear or tinted. Doors can be easily removed if desired and kept in garage during nice weather months (although I doubt if we'd do that).
Has anyone tried this product? I was quite impressed. You can put your fist into it and it has a memory and comes back to original flat shape.
