glassed-in

Behind transparent panels

Glassed-in describes a space enclosed or surrounded by glass panels: a glassed-in porch, a glassed-in shower.

The term typically applies to areas that were once open or that use glass instead of solid walls, allowing light while providing shelter from weather.

A glassed-in balcony becomes a sunroom; a glassed-in display case protects its contents while keeping them visible.
