We had double thick low E glass at our previous home. It does stop noise. Ours had a blush tint, color to it. You may object that the color does not match your other windows.
The sliders, assuming you will keep them, you will need better hardware, tracks etc.
You may find the extra weight a problem.
We are having ours enclosed and our contractor said as long as we leave the sliding glass doors in it is not taxable.

I don't think your contractor has a clue about whether or not your tax assessment will increase.

He might but would not count on him.

I called Sumter county and asked.

Yes, that is correct (at least for Sumter County), as per the county tax office when I asked them, and verified once our enclosure was completed. Already addressed in post #10.

Custom Windows and Design did mine a few months ago and is going to be doing my mothers. Yes due to Covid and lack of workers there is a delay in getting the work done
