What Is a Lanai Enclosure?

A lanai (pronounced luh-NYE) is a covered outdoor living space that’s become synonymous with Florida living. Unlike a simple patio or porch, a lanai typically features a solid roof, concrete flooring, and can be enclosed with screens, acrylic windows, or glass panels to create varying levels of protection from the elements.

The term “lanai” originated in Hawaii but has been embraced by Florida homeowners because it perfectly describes our unique indoor-outdoor lifestyle. You might also hear lanais referred to as:

Types of Lanai Enclosures We Build

Screened Lanai Enclosures

The most affordable option. Screened lanais use aluminum framing with mesh screening to keep bugs out while allowing fresh air to flow through. Ideal for homeowners who want mosquito protection without blocking the breeze.

Typical cost: $3,000–$10,000 depending on size.

Acrylic Window Lanai Enclosures

Our most popular choice for year-round comfort. Acrylic windows protect against rain, wind, and cooler temperatures while still allowing natural light. Windows are removable, allowing conversion back to a screen room in pleasant weather.

Typical cost: $8,000–$18,000.

Glass-Enclosed Lanai Enclosures

A premium option for a true four-season space. Glass enclosures offer superior insulation, noise reduction, and the ability to add climate control. Impact windows and doors are available for added hurricane protection.

Typical cost: $15,000–$30,000+ depending on specifications.

Partial Lanai Enclosures

A flexible, budget-friendly option. We can enclose one or two sides of your lanai while leaving others open or screened, creating a hybrid enclosure that can be expanded later.

How Much Does It Cost to Enclose a Lanai in Florida?

Lanai enclosure costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity. Typical Southwest Florida price ranges for 2025 include (for a more detailed breakdown, see our complete lanai enclosure cost guide):

Cost factors include lanai size and shape, condition of the existing structure, roof requirements, material choices, permit fees, and any electrical or HVAC work required.

The Benefits of Lanai Enclosures

Year-Round Usability

Florida weather is beautiful, but summer heat, afternoon thunderstorms, and occasional winter cold snaps can limit how often you use your outdoor space. An enclosed lanai allows you to enjoy it regardless of the forecast.

Protection from Bugs

Southwest Florida’s mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and lovebugs can make outdoor living uncomfortable. Even a basic screened enclosure creates a bug-free area where you can relax, dine, or entertain without constant irritation.

Increased Home Value

Enclosed lanais can return an estimated 75–80% of their cost at resale. In Florida’s competitive real estate market, a quality lanai often becomes a standout feature, as buyers expect functional outdoor living space.

Additional Living Space

A lanai can be transformed into a home gym, office, art studio, playroom, or entertainment area. With proper enclosure, you are effectively increasing your usable living space.

Energy Efficiency

Acrylic and glass-enclosed lanais create a buffer zone that helps reduce heat transfer to your home’s exterior walls and windows, which may lower overall cooling costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most standard lanai enclosures can be completed in just one day. More complex projects involving structural work, electrical additions, or HVAC integration may take 2-5 days. We'll provide a specific timeline during your free consultation.

Yes, most lanai enclosure projects in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, and Sarasota counties require a building permit. This includes adding roofs, windows, or structural changes. Precision Aluminum handles all permitting as part of our service—you don't have to navigate the county offices yourself.

A lanai is a general term for any covered outdoor space, whether open, screened, or enclosed. A Florida room is a fully enclosed and often climate-controlled lanai that functions as additional interior living space. You can convert a lanai into a Florida room by adding windows, insulation, and HVAC.

Absolutely! In fact, we're currently offering a FREE 10,000 BTU AC unit with every lanai enclosure. For larger spaces or year-round climate control, we can discuss mini-split systems or extending your home's existing HVAC.

Acrylic windows are lighter, safer (they don't shatter), more affordable, and easier to remove seasonally. Glass windows offer better insulation, scratch resistance, and a more premium look. For most Florida lanais, we recommend acrylic—it's the sweet spot of value, durability, and practicality.

Yes. Studies show enclosed lanais return 75-80% of their cost at resale, and in Florida's market, outdoor living space is a major selling point. Many buyers specifically look for homes with enclosed lanais because they know the comfort and lifestyle benefits.

Lanai enclosures are low-maintenance. For screens, rinse with a garden hose periodically and inspect for tears. For acrylic windows, clean with a soft cloth and mild soap (avoid abrasive cleaners). Aluminum framing just needs occasional wiping. We'll provide specific care instructions for your installation.

We can do both! If you have an existing concrete slab and roof structure, we can add enclosure systems to convert it. If you're starting from scratch, we can design and build the complete lanai structure. During your consultation, we'll assess what you have and recommend the best approach.
