Hello everyone,
in the attachment you can see our problem. We have a corner glazing with a corner support cladding support in the living room (ground floor). On the front garden side in the living room (ground floor) we have two larger fixed floor-to-ceiling window elements. Above that is the children's room with two smaller window elements with tilt-and-turn function. The windows on the ground floor and upper floor and their middle window frames are aligned with each other. At least according to the window plan.
Now, the fact is that the rough openings correspond to the floor plan in reality. However, the windows are not centered with each other. I do not like the exterior appearance because the middle frames are not centered with each other and do not correspond to the elevations or the window plan. From the outside, it looks poorly planned and simply not nice. In the floor plan it says next to the corner glazing in the living room (ground floor), "corner support cladding support depending on statics." Does this designation let the developer off the hook? So do the upper and lower window elements not have to correspond to the window plan or the elevations because the corner support cladding support is the decisive factor or are the elevations and the window plan decisive?
Shouldn't the window manufacturer or the developer have taken the elevations into account during the measurement of the rough openings (for window production) and had the windows made accordingly so that the appearance of the window plan/elevations is maintained? The statics of the corner support cladding support were already fixed at that time, right?
To put it differently: Would you insist on the consistency of the two windows or am I hopeless in this regard?
Thanks in advance!!!
Best regards Manuel
