ᐅ What is the maximum size of a single-pane window?

Created on: 24 Sep 2019 10:05

Hello everyone.

Yesterday afternoon, we had a conversation with our window installer, who was commissioned by the general contractor.

It concerns a gallery window with a rough opening size of 201cm (79 inches) width and 213.5cm (84 inches) height.

The window is fixed glazing.

He claims that he cannot supply the window as a single piece, but only in two parts.

He justified this by referring to a standard, stating that a window can only be deflected by 8mm (0.3 inches) if wind pressure is applied, and so on.

Is this all correct? Or does he simply not want to install such a large (and possibly heavy) window?

You could also have a good view outside with the post. But why make compromises when you could achieve a visually perfect solution?!

In my opinion, the window looks visually much more harmonious from the outside, based on the profile picture, with a mullion in the middle. It fits better with the other window styles and the similarly divided front door (assuming the avatar picture is still up to date). From the inside, however—as you mentioned—the single-pane version will be more appealing...

The window manufacturer working with the general contractor resists strongly, so we will take the window in two parts. It’s disappointing that a window company cannot or will not accommodate such requests...

Really strange, we will have two windows measuring 250x210cm (98x83 inches) each. Originally, they were supposed to be about 10cm (4 inches) larger, but he said that wouldn’t be possible with the warranty. They would have still done it if we had wanted to. We have now opted for the “smaller” version.
So it has to work...
