ᐅ Floor-to-ceiling windows or double French doors with a Juliet balcony?

Created on: 5 Sep 2020 12:13

Hello everyone,

what are your experiences with floor-to-ceiling windows with a fixed lower section or double doors with a French balcony on the top floor (see pictures)? The space is currently planned as one room (multi-purpose room for office, guests, play, etc., facing southwest) and should be able to be divided if needed.

Unfortunately, I have never had either of these window types in an apartment before. I would really appreciate your feedback. Should both options be roughly the same price?

Thank you very much.

Do you consider that a lot or a little? I clean whenever I think it’s necessary. For example, I notice that the east side gets much "dirtier" because it rarely rains there, so especially in spring, pollen settles more. The kitchen also needs cleaning more often than, for example, the living room.

If there’s enough space, I would agree with @11ant: always choose wide rather than tall windows. The greater height of the incoming light simply allows it to reach further into the room.

I think that’s a lot. We clean twice a year; otherwise, only individual windows more often if needed.

We have 8 floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the house, each with a fixed lower section. It’s a bit more complicated to clean for my wife, but manageable. However, because our house is on a slope and we only have neighbors on one side, French balconies would have blocked the view.
