Hello,
a quick question: Were the window panes delivered to you without frames and then installed into the frames on site?
I was last at the construction site Tuesday evening, and there was already a shipment of window panes (really just the triple-glazed panes, without frames!). I found that a bit surprising. As far as I know, complete windows with frames usually arrive ready to install.
Best regards,
Andreas

Hello,
thank you for the responses. Considering the weight of the panes, separate delivery also makes sense!
One more thing, can someone tell me what kind of window construction this is? Normally, we don’t have laminated safety glass (LSG) in the windows (only the RC2N fittings), but this looks like double panes on both the inside and outside? That can’t be right, can it?

Hi,
*Bang on forehead*
Yep, you’re right, we have that in two places. Then that must be one pane for that part. I hadn’t thought about that anymore.
Best regards,

With us, the panes also arrived separately. Since the frames are made of profiles cut at a miter angle, someone with experience and the right tools (some kind of angle bracket, a surface welder, etc.) can assemble the windows on-site. An advantage of this method is that individual profile sections can be replaced if damaged—just cut a new piece.

In my many years in the industry, I have only seen or done this once with aluminum elements, because the components were too large for transport and therefore had to be assembled on site. For PVC windows, whose corners are welded and finished, this does not happen.
As a rule, fixed glazing and large elements have the glass transported separately. For fixed glazing, this is because the glass must be installed after the frame is mounted anyway, and for large elements due to the high weight and the resulting difficulty of handling during installation.
Some window manufacturers transport the glass separately because they believe it offers handling advantages during installation. This is a matter of opinion. The vast majority of window manufacturers do not do this.
