Hello 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

First of all, the question about the goal: Do you want a maximum frameless view when the window is closed, a maximum frameless opening when the window is open, or both?

The decision is in favor of Soreg-Glide. Unfortunately, I cannot take the time to compare different systems or window manufacturers. Your contributions have been very helpful in assessing the price levels. Thank you!

We designed our house based on the view from our hillside, so from top to bottom. That means living, dining, and kitchen are on the upper floor. Sleeping, bathroom, walk-in closet, and office are on the ground floor. What do you think about my idea to use slim panoramic windows like ski frames facing the view on the upper floor, and to use standard window frames on the ground and basement floors? How have the prices developed since the thread is now 3 years old?

Last year, during the period of extremely high material prices, we discussed this issue with our architect while planning an extension for the kitchen. We were initially told that a 3 x 6 m (10 x 20 ft) element would cost around 40,000 gross, which was given as preliminary information for further planning.

"3 x 6 m (10 x 20 feet) element at around 40,000 gross" – ouch!

We only laughed briefly and shortly after put the entire planning on hold, since the single-story extension of about 36 sqm (387 sq ft) would have ended up costing nearly 100,000 euros.
But as I mentioned, this was at a time when building material prices had reached their peak.
