wants to enclose his back de beautiful size what we do is we come down we have an architect on our team a it takes measurements and boom we bump into a problem what's the problem right in middle of the house as you can see there's a triangle coming out there's no way I can e to start the prle after the triangle which takes out a lot of waste a lot of dead space or Here Comes our brilliant solution we make two systems and in the in the center we do fixed glass so doing the center is look to do fixed glass brilliantly they decided to make two systems since this was too big to make one system regardless while the aluminum louvers have a limit how big they can go I made one system here one lubd system here and in the center they beautifully made fixed glass as a skylight let's see let's see the Cent over here so do and let's see from the inside what's going on in this parola here we go so the glass door just slide open let's see how far it goes beauti Ari don't tell me you
