Window connection / reveal in double-leaf masonry

What does that have to do with the window installer?

A lot. He is obliged to install the windows according to the General Technical Agreements (ATV) DIN 18355 (carpentry work) and DIN 18360 (metal construction work) in such a way that the building connection is permanently resistant to driving rain. In older buildings, the inner sealing is often done using permanently elastic material; in new buildings, it is done as described by .

And of course I have already seen that - it looks good if done correctly.

If acrylic cracks due to improper handling, a new coat of paint certainly does not cover the fraying at the edges. That is why it only "looks" good if acrylic is reapplied; ideally, it is replaced. Rhenish greetings

Building expert.. but the acrylic is purely cosmetic. The connection is made with window foam and in our case then tape (huge and so white which sticks window and masonry together). Outside with compressible tape. It will then be plastered accordingly. I have looked... even Viebrockhaus uses acrylic here for the interior finish.

Building expert, nice that you throw DIN standards at me - but you should only do that when it is appropriate and above all correct ;)

Driving rain tightness has nothing to do with the topic and is achieved outside, for example, by a compression tape and in the area of the windowsill by a corresponding fleece.

Inside, it is about the airtight connection to the masonry, which is again achieved with fleece and adhesive.

By permanently elastic material I mean rather silicone or similar.

But as I said, none of this has anything to do with plaster strips or acrylic, as these are purely optical measures.

No question, the worktop is sleek and neat, but it is certainly not standard. And it also works without neatness...

... but you should only do that if it is appropriate and above all correct ;)

What would be appropriate .. according to your experience ... ? Rhineland greetings

If you can correct something wrong ;)

In my experience, even a professional like you is sometimes wrong - as happened in this thread. Let’s just let it go :)

For my standards very cryptically formulated; does it mean "compatible with blondes" translated? Rhineland greetings
