Hello,
we are currently in the phase of selecting windows with the carpenter.
I have received several offers.
All windows are triple-glazed. However, one carpenter says that nowadays windows with a frame depth of 82mm (3.2 inches) are usually installed, while another says 70mm (2.75 inches) frames are sufficient. Of course, the 82mm frames have a better Uw value (thermal transmittance). But how noticeable is the difference? Does it perhaps also look better aesthetically?
Please share your experiences.

What kind of ears or nerves do you have? When the windows are closed here, you can hardly hear anything.But of course, it also depends on the type of windows you installed.

Well, that's already a statement.
One window manufacturer even goes as far as saying they would now generally only install at least 82mm (3.2 inches) frames.
I would say, my gut feeling is: More windows = More insulation = Better... I still need to clarify exactly how much the additional cost will be.
But thanks for now.May I ask how much the extra cost was?
