Hello everyone,
We are in the early stages of planning our house and are currently visiting various model home exhibitions.
We saw a house featuring a window wall about 4 meters (13 feet) wide spanning two floors, which definitely looked very impressive visually. The windows were divided into sections measuring 2 by 2 meters (6.5 by 6.5 feet) each, with two elements stacked vertically.
My online research showed that window costs are not as high as I expected
Of course, installation costs are extra.
Is it easy to combine multiple units like this? In this case, four pieces of 2 x 2 meters (6.5 x 6.5 feet)?
What other drawbacks might I be overlooking? I’m aware of insulation values and cleaning concerns.
Has anyone worked with panoramic windows like these and can share concrete cost examples?
Maybe it will just be a passing idea and we’ll move on from it in a week.
Thanks in advance!

- Fixed uPVC window – 300 x 260 cm (10 x 8.5 feet) – 750 EUR

Exterior wall? Why should the difference between the pane and the wall outside be relevant for radiant cold inside?An exterior wall has two sides: inside and outside. An interior wall also has two sides, both inside.
Now guess what I compared.

I assume you have compared the inside surface of the exterior walls with the inside surface of the window glass?

Usually, I adjust the heating at our place. Unfortunately, my boyfriend notices every degree I turn it up and sometimes secretly turns it back down. But I always notice it immediately... :-(
A friend of mine also installed an extremely large glass facade spanning two floors. To create the feeling of height, the open space needs to be quite large – and that space does cost extra money. Otherwise, her biggest concern was actually heat protection. However, she hasn't moved in yet.

Fixed plastic window – 300 x 260 cm (118 x 102 inches) – 750 EUR Putting everything else aside, that price won’t work.
Get a quote, but don’t be surprised if you end up paying 5 to 6 times your 750.
Online prices and local market prices are two completely different things.
