Floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floor without railing

...
simply fixed glazing.

Then there are always problems with cleaning, aren't there? Even the roller shutters can no longer be cleaned. No matter how often that is necessary.

Why would anyone want something like that, for looks or what?

Just have some drawn in on the building permit and then simply don’t build them. Many in our new development area only installed them years later.
I hardly believe anyone will come to check.
Legally, if something happens, you’re the one responsible.

I wouldn’t bet on that. Since we didn’t like either (glass) French balconies or fixed lower glass elements (which we currently have), we have now taken the middle ground and planned the windows not quite floor-to-ceiling but with about 40 cm of a parapet. Visually we like it, the building authority is satisfied, and it can also be cleaned.

They cost relatively a lot of money considering the uglification, slightly reducing the view.

Do you always lie on the floor to look out of the window?

but planned with about 40 cm parapet. Visually we find it good, the building authority is satisfied,

40 cm parapet? That must be questioned!

when it comes to optics: there are venetian blind systems in which an almost invisible (Glasscheibe) is integrated as fall protection
