The roller shutter boxes immediately catch my eye: Are they properly insulated and sealed already, or does it worst case draft through there? No idea what was done in that year of construction.

What an answer, thanks a lot. Since we’re not fans of muntins, losing them is not a big deal. The tip about the layout might make sense in the kitchen. We’ll see.
With Prof m profile and 85, do you mean the depth?


What do you mean by reserve of the glazing bead?

Yeah, I’ve got to look at that too. It’s on the list. It’s quick to do if I’m seeing it right.

Sorry, that was clumsily expressed: you can see on the glazing beads how much reserve the sash profile has. The glazing beads themselves have no reserve; you replace them when you install a thicker glass unit. You can read about the glass units at the source of the mentioned explanations (external posts unfortunately cannot be linked here).

Yes, the profile depth of the new window elements, in case they are replaced. The simpler ones have a depth of 68 or 70 mm.



Yes, exactly, thanks for the addition.
I was referring to new windows including profile for the triple glazing. For the existing ones, that probably won’t work.
But even so, the questioner here will achieve a saving from the current U-value of 2.5-3.0 to about 1.0-1.2 with new double glazing with warm edge, which results in about 100-150 kWh / m² window area per year in reduced heating demand.
What is not improved then are weak points in thermal insulation on old window profiles as well as ventilation losses due to old or defective seals.

Exactly, the seals can also be replaced individually. If I remember correctly, we obtained them as standard products from suppliers, so they are presumably (although available in different versions) not specific to the profile – so a replacement should not be a big deal, even if the manufacturer of the windows no longer exists.

I am not familiar with this year of construction. But I can tell you that replacing windows is not a big deal, as long as they are not too large (windows are quite heavy). It might be that some plaster inside the jamb flakes off a little, but that is quickly repaired and painted over. At least that was the case for us. I have not replaced a front door yet.
