Spanish term or phrase: Estancia acristalada
I'm translating a marketing text for a company that manufactures blinds and one of the properties of a particular blind system is described as follows:

"Mantienen una óptima luminosidad en estancias acristaladas sin condicionar la usabilidad de puertas y ventanas."

When I Google "estancias acristaladas" I get various images of rooms with lots of large windows and skylights, often wall-to-wall windows, but I don't know if there's a particular way of describing this kind of room, other than just translating it as "rooms/spaces with large windows"?

neutral  Rebecca Reddin: 'Glazed' would refer to a specific aspect of some glass in order to let in light but not let an outsider be able to see inside, which doesn't appear to be part of the content.
