Fixed glazing vs. turn/tilt

Mists up on the outside here when it's colder. However, not at the current temperatures (around 0 degrees).

Question to the group: Does triple glazing fog up on the outside in the morning for you, or does that only happen with building renovations?

That is a good sign of the good thermal insulation properties of your glazing

The conservatory builder told me today that 4mm glass in triple glazing is bad because there is a risk inside that the panes could crack if the child taps them with toys. I think that's nonsense.....but I thought I'd ask in the forum. What do you think?

I have to pass on that. I can ask a neighbor (window installer) in the next few days if no one here can provide an answer.

It's nonsense too.
We have 4/16/4/16/4 glazing throughout the entire house - almost all floor-to-ceiling.
It withstands wooden toys, children running into it, Bobby cars, etc.

Here I am "digging up" a thread that is not too old :)

With modern triple glazing, it can definitely happen that panes "pop" when, for example, a (decorative) pillow rests on the inside of the window and the sun shines strongly from outside. This can lead to a heat buildup and ... boom! (or bang!).

That is why windows probably cannot become arbitrarily small, as the small panes are very rigid and cannot expand due to the increasing internal pressure caused by the heat.

By the way: we also have triple fixed glazing in our bay window. Additionally, a tilt-and-turn door in the kitchen and a double-wing tilt-and-turn "Christmas tree door" (because that's where the Christmas tree can come into the house ...) in the living room.
