Hello everyone,
We are certainly not the only ones to have windows installed shortly after the shell construction is completed. After that, several other trades still need to work, and there is a high risk that the new windows—frames, glass, and seals alike—will be significantly damaged.
Does anyone have good tips or, ideally, experience with methods to protect window frames and glass panes? Many products are said to lack UV resistance and/or leave stains on the frames or glass later on.
Thank you for your help!

Bauherr am L21 Apr 2020 23:03@Müllerin do you mean the protective films used by the plasterer or something else?
The plasterer attached plastic sheets to the frame, but I don’t even know exactly what kind they were. This was summer 2018, it was 38°C (100°F), and I deliberately avoided staying inside the house because of the humidity... I really felt sorry for them, but they did a great job.
In any case, they removed the sheets afterward, so I can’t say exactly how thick they were.

We will protect the windows and frames with protective glass film. However, this does not provide significant protection against mechanical impact. Rick, can you recommend a specific product?
Thank you!
