Hello everyone,

we are planning a fixed window element in our living area (plastic with triple glazing; not openable) with dimensions of approx. W200cm x H220cm.

Our site manager now says that such a window (fixed) is too heavy and installation is only possible with a crane. Can someone tell me if this is actually the case?

I once read that such a window weighs around 130kg, which already speaks for a more difficult installation. Has anyone had experience with this?

For background: The place where the window is located offers us a beautiful view, which we would prefer not to have impaired by a mullion, hence the decision for a fixed element.

I look forward to your feedback.

Many thanks.

Grobi

I installed a window about 3m x 2.10m triple-glazed with [VSG]. It went quite well on the ground floor without major height differences using round sticks to roll it. But it was already heavy.

best regards

At the neighbor's, they carried it with 5 people, but only on the ground floor. Approximately 2.5x3m triple pane with safety glass. So the crane can certainly be justified.

We have 2 2mx2.2m elements (fixed) on the ground floor - normally triple-glazed; went without problems. However, the glass panes were delivered separately from the frame.
