What you see are two bedroom windows and adjacent to them is a third bedroom window (not shown) then adjacent to the third window -- on the main part of the patio is indeed a floor to ceiling sliding glass door that is 12 ft in length (three 4 ft sections) Then the house makes a turn and there is another 8 ft floor to ceiling slider. Given that this is the south side of the house and the climate can be very hot - floor to ceiling glass where those windows are would not be advisable. Given the proximity to the pool and the hard chlorinated water we have enough of a job cleaning the windows as it is --- from both water splashed from the pool and water from the pool sweep. The water stains are difficult to get rid of as them must be polished out and the cost is ~$150 - $200 per window. Also, building codes would not allow for merely floor to ceiling glass as each window must have egress in the event of a fire -- which essentially means you cant just have a picture window --- you would have to have a sliding glass door --- in this case --- 3 of them. feng shui = not Where the two sliders are the patio is covered and thus shielded from the sun. I understand the concept of what you're getting at, but in this case it would simply not be feasible.
