In my opinion, that is nonsense. The difference between the two classes lies solely in the glass, not the frame. Usually, in a break-in, the glass is not attacked but leveraged. Both classes make no difference in that regard.



Standard yes, however, the price is adjusted if you only take double glazing. Triple glazing with muntins makes no energetic sense (according to GÜ), so the extra cost for the third pane is wasted. Or rather, I am currently trying to find that out with this thread.

Continuous muntins are practically frame components. Aluminum profiles have an outer and an inner shell with ribs in between for decoupling. Making them with muntins is a complex undertaking. For plastic, continuous muntins are a special design that also drives up the price significantly. For wood, the effort is somewhat less. Where muntins are deemed necessary for [Denkmalschutz], they are applied on the outside (however ordered separately, not DIY accessories).

In the installation depths of triple glazing, the muntins are naturally quite bulky, which can quickly give a reinforced glass feeling. Triple or double glazing differs by at least two centimeters in thickness, which also affects the sash and frame profiles to be chosen.

The thermal insulation gain of triple glazing does not come from one and a half times as much glass, but rather from twice as much air in between. Air insulates only where it is not replaced by something solid.

Forget muntins, forget continuous muntins even more thoroughly, rather enjoy the unobstructed view, the much faster cleaning, and the significantly lower price. And choose triple glazing—not because double glazing is too poor, but simply because it is the "upcoming substandard."

If the cost of muntins is not saved elsewhere in the window quality, a 1x1 m window runs into four digits. Around that amount, several annual vacations would be spent on muntins. For the dear wife, this can surely be converted into shoes and handbags as well

P.S.: Every multiple glazing requires a lot of force and makes a lot of noise when broken. The time for the burglar starts running from the moment they are noticed. Therefore, prying open is much more popular. But the protection against prying is the same, whether you use profiles for triple or double glazing.

What does the environment look like? Do the muntins fit in there? How should the house look overall?

(I wouldn't use muntins myself, but if it fits ...?)

So like probably 90% of all houses today. None of them have grid windows. Just leave out the grids. Then choose triple glazing and if you want add the "warme Kante," it probably won't make much difference in price, but then you'll have it done right.

White city villa with anthracite window frames and then muntins ... well, I'll diplomatically call that a "stylistic clash"
