Open When You Want.Protected When You Need.
EXTEND YOUR SEASON
The best outdoor spaces are designed to change with the conditions.
Outdoor conditions rarely remain the same throughout the entire day.
A warm, calm afternoon can quickly turn into a windy evening. Temperatures can shift, weather can move in, and the needs of the space can change within a matter of hours.
That is why outdoor comfort should never depend on one fixed setup.
One Space Should Be Able to Respond
Permanent walls provide protection, but they also permanently change the outdoor experience.
A completely open patio preserves the connection to the outdoors, but offers little control when conditions change.
Operable glass provides another option.
It gives the space the ability to remain open when conditions are comfortable and become more protected when additional environmental control is needed.
→ Open when the weather is warm and calm.
→ Partially closed to reduce exposure from one direction.
→ Fully closed when greater protection is needed.
The space can adjust without losing the views, light, or openness that made it valuable in the first place.
Flexibility Throughout the Day
An operable system allows the outdoor environment to respond gradually instead of forcing operators to choose between completely open or completely closed.
During a warm afternoon, the glass can remain open to allow natural airflow and an uninterrupted connection to the outdoors.
If wind begins moving through one side of the patio, the panels can be positioned to create more protection where it is needed.
As the evening cools, the glass can close further to help maintain a calmer, more comfortable environment.
Each position supports the same space differently.
More Control Without More Complication
When outdoor spaces can adapt, staff have more control over how and when the patio is used.
🔸 Respond to wind without closing the entire space.
🔸 Maintain outdoor seating as temperatures change.
🔸 Adjust the environment between afternoon and evening service.
🔸 Support dining, events, and private gatherings in changing conditions.
🔸 Keep the space visually connected to its surroundings.
The goal is not to keep the glass closed at all times.
It is to have the choice when the environment changes.
