Jean, if you are talking about the panes, I am surprised you have
acrylic. There is polycarbonate - Lexan is a major brand - that
is virtually indestructible. You can smash it with a sledge
hammer with no visible effect - great stuff, but it scratches
easier than the acrylic.

As others have said - consider real glass. For breakage you can
go to tempered or laminated glass. When tempered glass breaks it
disintegrates into fingernail sized pieces with relatively
non-sharp edges: it can take quite a beating.

I currently have vinyl windows on my (Florida) porch. I've heard
that the latest acrylic windows are pretty good and I was
thinking about replacing the vinyl windows with them. Has anyone
used the acrylic windows? If so, are they pretty scratch
resistant? Would you use them again?

Thanks,

Jean
