  1. jalousie

    A jalousie is a type of window or door design, typically used in warm weather environments, that consists of parallel slats of glass or acrylic that open and close in unison, similar to a venetian blind. It allows for excellent control of ventilation and sunlight while maintaining privacy. The name 'jalousie' is derived from the French word for jealousy, supposedly because the slats allow one to see out without being seen.
