Hello,
it is clear that a sealing tape suitable for the purpose should be applied from the frame to the window.
Therefore, my question: the window has a mullion (see photo). Is it better to use one sealing tape or two tapes that are then applied on both sides of the mullion?
Thank you

What is a wind barrier?
There are numerous types of 3D compressible sealing tapes, and when installed according to the manufacturer's guidelines, they work effectively.
Some non-professionals believe that a fully decompressed compressible sealing tape is airtight, but this is not the case. If you are lucky, it may still be sufficient for thermal insulation.

...and as temporary UV protection, for example for expanding foam before applying, for instance, external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) and/or plaster.
With 3D compressible sealing tape, this is actually not necessary. profil65 schrieb:

There are an incredible number of variants of 3D compressible sealing tapes, and when installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, they work.
Some non-professionals believe that fully decompressed compressible tape is airtight, but that is not the case. If you’re lucky, it might still be sufficient for thermal insulation. So, what now?
Is a driving rain barrier necessary in combination with compressible sealing tape or not?
(I, as a layperson, would have said yes, but I would also assume that compressible tape is “airtight” in terms of air and wind tightness. Since the compressible tape is installed deeper than the frame, a driving rain barrier does make sense.)
