Hello,
I am currently planning to build a modern high-timber-frame house and many of the panels are to be glazed with triple glazing, so that no frame is visible. Since I am still in the planning phase, I can design the timber frame accordingly, but I am not exactly sure how to best approach this.

Here are my ideas: Each panel with fixed glazing gets a recess milled on the inside of the house. The depth of the recess corresponds to the thickness of the triple glazing plus a few millimeters, the width of the recess about 2 cm. A rubber seal can then be glued all around in there, and the pane is laid from the inside into the recess. From the inside, a board the width of the timber frame beam is then screwed in so that the pane is clamped between the board and the timber frame in the recess. Of course, a second seal would be added here. In this way, the windows would actually be frameless, with the timber frame itself representing the frame in this case. However, I am somewhat concerned about watertightness at the lower edge of the glass. How can I reliably ensure that water running down the pane does not somehow get between the glass and the wooden timber frame? Would a simple silicone joint work permanently?

Alternatively, I could order panes with fixed frames. The frames would then need to be larger than the panel so that the visible glass corresponds to the size of the panel. I would then screw the frames bluntly onto the timber frame from the inside with a seal and cover it again with a board. Alternatively, this could of course also be done from the outside. Here, the panes would sit in their own frames, which would certainly mean more predictable watertightness, but the solution would not be as sleek as the completely frameless one.

Or is there a system that is used exactly for this purpose?

I would be very grateful for suggestions and criticism.

Regards,
Marian

Take a look at swissfineline. I last saw them in a penthouse. They cost a lot of money though (a six-figure amount in the 250sqm penthouse). Whether they fit for the half-timbered house? No idea.

What does the architect say?

Swissfineline is great (personal experience). They do something like that for you for a lot of money. But probably more the frame outside in the insulation level. has already given a price range. However, it will not be a low six-figure amount.
