Turn Your Screen Enclosure Into a Florida Room
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, acrylic windows are one of the most popular upgrades homeowners choose when they want to make their outdoor space more usable throughout the year.
These windows are commonly installed inside screen enclosures, lanais, patios, and composite roof structures to help reduce wind, rain, pollen, and outside debris while still maintaining natural light and visibility.
Many Florida homeowners use acrylic windows to transform an open patio or screen room into a more enclosed Florida Room-style space. When combined with a solid insulated composite roof and optional air conditioning, the area can become a comfortable extension of the home that’s usable during more seasons of the year.
In our experience, homeowners often add acrylic windows because they want:
More usable living space
Better weather protection
Reduced pollen and dust
Additional comfort during colder or rainy months
A brighter enclosed patio space
Better airflow control
More privacy from neighboring homes

Why Florida Homeowners Choose Acrylic Windows
Florida weather can change quickly. Between afternoon rain, wind, humidity, pollen, and heat, many homeowners find themselves using their screen enclosure less during certain parts of the year.
Acrylic patio windows help create a more controlled outdoor environment while still allowing natural sunlight into the space. Many homeowners choose them for patios and lanais that are already covered by a roof system because they help make the enclosure feel more like an actual room instead of just an outdoor patio.
For homeowners adding windows to a composite insulated roof structure, keeping the windows closed and adding a portable or mini-split AC system can help create a comfortable Florida Room environment with additional functional living space.
Our Recommendation on Acrylic Patio Windows
In our experience, acrylic windows work best for homeowners who want to make their enclosure more comfortable without fully converting the space into traditional interior construction.

Screen rooms
Covered lanais

Outdoor sitting areas
Poolside seating spaces
Homeowners wanting additional seasonal comfort

Frequently Asked Questions

Do acrylic windows help keep rain and pollen out?
Yes. Acrylic windows help reduce rain, wind, pollen, dust, and outdoor debris from entering your enclosure, making the space easier to keep clean and more comfortable during changing weather conditions.
Can I add acrylic windows to an existing screen enclosure?
In many cases, yes. Acrylic windows can often be added to existing screen enclosures, patios, and lanais depending on the structure and framing. Our team evaluates the existing enclosure to determine compatibility and recommend the best installation approach.
