ᐅ How are windows properly installed nowadays?

Hello everyone,

I am currently building a KFW55 house, and a window installer told me that until a few years ago, the reveals had to be smoothed out completely, a sealing tape was installed, and so on. However, nowadays the foam has been improved, and windows are being foam-insulated again.

Is that correct?
Thanks, regards

Here are the pictures showing the 3D strip.
The tabs on the right side embedded into the masonry are there only because this is a fall-safe window.

Best regards

Hello everyone,

We have just completed the shell construction phase.
Then the owner of the Polish window manufacturing company came and measured all the window openings (rough construction dimensions) to prepare the final offer.
Before that, he created a rough preliminary quote based on the architect’s drawings and their dimensions.
Afterward, we went to his office, where he presented and demonstrated the windows and roller shutters live on a demo wall.

The installation will be carried out using option 1.
