This is the answer to the question What kind of protection to use for floor to ceiling windows?
Revision 1
We have transoms (about 1/3) installed in the bottom of our windows on the top floor. Also for exactly the same reasons. What we liked visually about the fall protection was priceless. Galvanized bars were out of the question.
So additional elements came into play – lintels. The price was neutral, as the grilles were not needed. Another advantage: The fixed glazing then of course was designed according to DIN 18008 as VSG (P4).
Thus, the optics are without interfering grilles. However, a white volume goes around evenly, which does not disturb the optics evenly.
Cleaning can be done with a ladder outside. This is not a problem. There is no need to open the windows to get air in if you have a ventilation system.
