Default Stacking Sliders in an Iris

We are coming down for our design meeting in a couple of weeks and I have a question about the sliders to the lanai. We are building an IRIS and want stacking sliders that open all the way. Our rep advises that in the IRIS the sliders all stack on the same side in the nook wall. In looking at the floorplan it doesn't appear that there is enought wall to completely hide the glass doors. Does anyone have an IRIS with stacked sliders? Do they actually get completely hidden? Any insight would be appreciated.

I have an Iris. The sliders in the kitchen eating area have only 2 doors. One pushes back into the other. In the living room area there are 4 doors total which open in the middle. Lets name them panels #1, 2, 3, & 4, from left to right. Panel 2 open to the left over panel 1. Panel 3 opens to the right over panel 4. There are NO hidden sliders in an Iris. I believe the Gardenia is the only model with hidden sliders as they stack behind the wall. No room for that in an Iris.
Hope this helped. If you want, I can send you a few photo's if you send me your email address.

Our Iris in Charlotte has a four panel slider off the great room with three of them sliding from right to left (toward the master bedroom) and stacking in front of the fourth panel.

We just closed on our Iris in November. We moved the back wall out 2 ft to make it flat (like the back of the Lantana). The extra wall space gave us room to have stacking sliders....looks great and we gained an additional 2 ft in the living room also.

Thanks for the replies. My sales rep sent me a video that he shot at an IRIS build that shows the sliders stacking into the bedroom side wall. No glass showing in the opening.
