Hello everyone,
I have a question – how was the window frame connected to the reveal on the inside in your case? For us, it was done with acrylic sealant, but unfortunately, it is now cracking around the front door and sliding patio door. It’s not a major problem, but it doesn’t look very neat either.
Good luck

What does this have to do with the window manufacturer? A lot. They are required to install the windows in accordance with the General Technical Agreements (ATV) DIN 18355 (carpentry work) and DIN 18360 (metal construction work) so that the building connection is permanently resistant to driving rain. The interior sealing in older buildings is often done using permanently elastic materials; in new constructions, it is done as described by @AOLNCM.

And of course I have seen that already – it looks good when done properly. If acrylic cracks due to improper handling, simply repainting will never hide the fraying at the edges. Therefore, it only looks "good" if acrylic is reapplied; ideally, it should be replaced.

Building expert… the acrylic is purely for cosmetic purposes. The connection is made with window foam and, in our case, then tape (a very large and white tape that bonds the window and masonry). On the outside, compressible sealing tape is used.
It will then be plastered accordingly.
I checked… even Viebrockhaus uses acrylic for the interior finishing here.

Sebastian793 Sep 2016 07:59Building expert, it’s great that you’re citing standards, but you should only do so when it’s appropriate and, above all, correct. 😉
Driving rain resistance has nothing to do with this topic and is achieved on the outside, for example, by using a compressible sealing tape and in the area of the window sill by a suitable fleece membrane.
On the inside, it’s about creating an airtight connection to the masonry, which is also done using a fleece membrane and adhesive.
By permanently elastic material, I mean more like silicone or similar.
But as I said, none of this has anything to do with plaster beads or acrylic, since those are purely cosmetic measures.
No doubt, a work surface is neat and tidy, but it is certainly not standard. And it can be done without being perfectly neat...

Sebastian794 Sep 2016 23:20If you can correct something that is wrong 😉
In my experience, even a professional like you can be wrong sometimes – as happened in this thread. No hard feelings 🙂
