Hello everyone,
I am planning to have my windows replaced soon. One of the terrace windows that needs to be replaced measures 240cm (95 inches) wide and 218cm (86 inches) high. Currently, there is a wooden window from the 1970s of this size installed. Now the supplier tells me that, due to the weight, they can only install it as two separate units. When I asked further, they said that for structural reasons they would otherwise have to use laminated safety glass with a configuration of 8-16-10. Could this be correct? It seems extremely oversized to me.
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Jan
