Hello,
we are currently quite unsure about the fall protection for our floor-to-ceiling windows. Originally, windows with built-in separation and fixed glazing at the sill height were planned. However, my wife recently became enthusiastic about a modern French balcony.
The enthusiasm cooled down noticeably once we saw the high price of the stainless steel railings. Now we are facing a dilemma.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two options?
What would be the approximate additional cost for the lower fixed glazing compared to the French balcony?

I also have a fixed glazing panel in the lower part. I think it’s a good solution and visually more appealing than with grids. In the bathroom, the fixed glazing is additionally fitted with decorative glass for privacy. I find it quite practical that you can still see through the upper part normally.
Admittedly, cleaning isn’t ideal. You probably need to get a telescopic pole for that.
I don’t have prices on hand at the moment but could check if needed – below is a “standard” floor-to-ceiling window of the same size installed.
