floor-to-ceiling windows

Wall-replacing glass panels

Floor-to-ceiling windows are windows that extend from the floor to the ceiling of a room, maximizing natural light and views.

They're a signature feature of modern architecture and luxury real estate: The apartment's floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city skyline.

The design creates a sense of openness but offers little privacy without curtains or tinting.
