Vertical 4-Track Sliding:

Panels slide left/right, stack to one side for maximum opening
Fixed Panels:
Non-removable for areas wanting permanent protection without glass cost

Safety
Acrylic wins. 17x more impact-resistant, doesn't shatter into dangerous shards. Ideal for homes with children, pets, or elderly.
Weight
Acrylic wins. Half the weight of glass—easy to lift out for cleaning or converting back to screen room.
Cost
Acrylic wins. 30-50% less expensive than comparable glass systems.
Scratch Resistance
Glass wins. Acrylic can scratch if cleaned improperly, though minor scratches can be buffed out.
Insulation
Glass wins (slightly). Double-pane insulated glass provides better thermal insulation. For Florida lanais, the difference is minimal.
Our Recommendation
For most Florida lanais, acrylic offers the best balance of value, safety, and practicality. Choose glass if scratch resistance or maximum insulation is your priority.

An acrylic window is made from a type of plastic (polymethyl methacrylate) that is lightweight, shatter-resistant, and more impact-resistant than glass. It's often used in places where safety, clarity, and durability are important.
Due to Florida's hot, humid climate and hurricane risk, impact-resistant windows made from acrylic, laminated glass, or double-pane glass with UV protection are considered the best. Energy efficiency and storm durability are key factors.
The average cost to replace windows in Florida ranges from $300 to $1,500 per window, depending on the size, materials (e.g., acrylic or glass), and whether the window is impact-resistant or energy-efficient.
Acrylic windows are lighter than glass, offer excellent UV resistance, are more shatterproof, and can be more cost-effective. They're ideal for areas exposed to storms, making them popular in regions like Florida.
While glass windows offer greater scratch resistance and clarity, acrylic windows are stronger against impact, weigh less, and are less likely to shatter. For hurricane-prone areas, acrylic is often a safer, more durable choice.
Quality acrylic panels last 15-25 years with proper care. Modern UV-stabilized acrylics resist yellowing longer than earlier formulations.
Yes! Acrylic enclosure makes air conditioning practical. We're even offering a FREE 10,000 BTU AC unit with lanai enclosure purchases.
