ᐅ Panoramic Windows – Are the Window Prices Affordable?

Hello everyone,

We are in the early stages of planning our house and are currently visiting various model home exhibitions.

We saw a house featuring a window wall about 4 meters (13 feet) wide spanning two floors, which definitely looked very impressive visually. The windows were divided into sections measuring 2 by 2 meters (6.5 by 6.5 feet) each, with two elements stacked vertically.

My online research showed that window costs are not as high as I expected
  • Fixed uPVC window – 300 x 260 cm (10 x 8.5 feet) – 750 EUR

Of course, installation costs are extra.

Is it easy to combine multiple units like this? In this case, four pieces of 2 x 2 meters (6.5 x 6.5 feet)?

What other drawbacks might I be overlooking? I’m aware of insulation values and cleaning concerns.

Has anyone worked with panoramic windows like these and can share concrete cost examples?

Maybe it will just be a passing idea and we’ll move on from it in a week.

Thanks in advance!

Unfinished interior with floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the garden; open ceiling, building materials.


No panoramic window...

Are such windows now also opaque from the outside when light is shining inside?

I don’t believe opaque windows will become widespread...

As far as I know, these one-way mirrors used in interrogation rooms only work because it is dark behind them. Therefore, such windows would only be effective during the day, but not in the evening.

Why should these windows be opaque? If it is glass, you can see through it. If someone does not want that, then this type of glazing is not suitable for them.

The problem today is that building plots are sometimes only the size of a towel. I think for this kind of glazing, you need a large garden.
