We are building our house now, and after installing floor to ceiling windows on the first floor, we noticed that moisture was "pulling" through the masonry barrier inside the house through all 3 windows. The windows on the first floor were installed on the masonry barrier, but that is not the case on the top floor. Here, the windows are mounted on the floor slab.
On the first floor, the windows from floor to ceiling were sealed from the inside with sealing tape. Such sealing tape had not yet been applied to the exterior. (But it had already been applied to all the other "normal" windows).
Of course, I will discuss the situation with the window installers, but I would like to be prepared for the conversation.
