pm101101Hello everyone,
Does anyone have experience with floor-to-ceiling frameless sliding windows?
We want to install glazing with these types of systems for our living room window and dining room window. I have received a quote for Soreg-Glide panels for the dining room window (about 25sqm (270 sq ft)) for 36,000 euros net, which is around 1,440 €/sqm (134 $/sq ft). The other window is priced at 28,000 euros for 21sqm (226 sq ft), which corresponds to approximately 1,330 €/sqm (124 $/sq ft) including installation.
Are other systems similarly expensive, or are there more affordable alternatives? Are they really worth the extra cost? Has anyone had experience with them?
Thanks in advance and best regards

In this context, I would like to remind you of the statement by @hampshire
Additionally, @rick2018 also has experience with such *ahem* balcony doors ;-) which Günter Strack would probably have commented on with "you have to treat yourself sometimes" :-)

Factor 4-6. Depending on which type of "standard" aluminum profiles you use.

Of course, it also depends on the resistance class, color fastness, drive mechanism, and so on.
Whether it’s Skyframe, Swissfineline, or similar, you’re looking at prices at least in that range.
Josko or Cero are more affordable options, but they don’t reach the same level or only within certain limits.
It really depends on the specific requirements and use case.
Soreg is part of Schüco.
Whether the additional cost is worth it for you, you’ll have to decide yourself.
Make appointments with the different manufacturers and take a look at their systems. Differences include opening widths, drive types, possible security classes (especially for operable elements), and details in the finish.
We’re glad we went for it, but the pricing was really tough.
The shell construction must be very precise. I hope you’re managing contracting by trade. With a general contractor, this will probably cause problems with such glass elements (interface issues).
@Muc1985 will also have large window areas. They seem to be leaning towards Josko.

We also have electric frameless sliding windows on the main living floor, and it was definitely worth the extra cost. However, in the basement, we went with regular wood-aluminum windows with frames. You need to be careful when installing these on terraces or in gardens, as there are many accidents caused by people not expecting them and thinking they are open, then walking into them.
