This is about my planned extension, which will have almost exclusively fixed glazing (only the door leading to the terrace can be opened).
Now I am completely unsure about how many sections I should divide the panes into.
The window facing the terrace (east) is already fixed, and the main question concerns the large south-facing window and the "smaller" north-facing window, whose total size and position are already fixed.
South window:
This one must be divided at least once.
So the options are:
5335mm (210 inches) total
2 sections -> 2667mm (105 inches) each
3 sections -> 1778mm (70 inches) each
North window:
Here a single section would also be possible.
The options are:
2750mm (108 inches) total
1 section -> 2750mm (108 inches)
2 sections -> 1375mm (54 inches) each
Larger windows would of course look nicer, I think, and there would be some symmetry since all sections would be about the same size (267cm (105 inches) and 275cm (108 inches)).
Now I am starting to worry about the risk of glass breakage and the higher replacement costs that come with large panes.
(A glass breakage insurance is relatively expensive compared to other insurance policies.)
How would you decide in this situation?

All of this is achievable without much extra cost.
My main concern is how this behaves in the event of a possible defect and how likely that is.

How is the shading handled?
