Best for
Oceanfront, lakefront, mountainside — anywhere the view IS the point. Modern luxury aesthetic. Wind-protection on coastal decks (full-height panels block prevailing wind).
Watch-outs
Sliding-glass aesthetic but requires careful drainage planning at panel base — water pooling at the base corrodes the channel. Some HOAs ban full-glass for aesthetic reasons (looks like balcony glazing).
