A lanai (named after the sixth-largest Hawaiian island of Lana'i) is an open patio. If a lanai has a screened enclosure, it is a screened lanai. In general usage in Florida, a lanai means a screened lanai, in my experience. A Florida room is a porch with screened windows. Dirigo

Our sales agent said that what diferentiates a Florida Room from an enclosed lanai is that a Florida room has heat/AC ducts in it.

A paved outdoor area attached to the house is a patio.
Enclose it with screening for the walls and roof, it becomes a bird cage. Or instead, put only a solid roof over it and it is a lanai. Add screening for the walls and it becomes a screened lanai. Or, put a solid roof over it with screened windows and it is an enclosed lanai. Add heat and A/C and it becomes a Florida room. Sometimes, as in Barefoot’s case, you’ll see part of the patio is an enclosed lanai or Florida room and the other part is a bird cage. When it’s warm and dry you can use the bird cage with its increased ventilation. And when it’s cold, raining, or out of Africa hot, you can use the Florida room. When a lanai is a free standing structure (most often octagonal shape), it’s called a gazebo. |
