Our 100% Aluminum Acrylic Porches, Lanai's, Enclosures & Sunrooms offer a durable, water-resistant enclosure system built on a waterproof structural frame, giving homeowners reliable protection from rain, moisture, and everyday weather exposure. The acrylic panels are engineered to withstand winds up to 75 mph and can absorb hard, direct impacts far better than traditional glass alternatives, although they are not hurricane-rated. This makes acrylic enclosures an excellent budget-friendly option for transforming a patio or lanai into a comfortable, enclosed space without the higher cost of impact glass systems. With strong aluminum framing, long-lasting clarity, and reduced maintenance, acrylic porches provide a cost-effective, attractive solution for upgrading outdoor living areas. Most acrylic enclosure upgrades fall between $35–$45 per square foot, offering a cost-effective solution when existing structures can be utilized.
