Internorm KF520

[Johnnyire]

We are thinking of going with Internorm KF 520 windows, has anyone pics of them installed? We saw them in a showroom and they looked great however I would like to see how thick the frame is, can it be hidden in the cavity? Also I have one massvie windows so will be two sections, id love to see how the frame will look at the joint? Thanks

If you are having a joint, get a detailed drawing of how they join them. 
we have two windows that join and they have a joining strip that fits into a routered out channel in both windows, loads of sealer applied and screwed together. 
 

a friend had a similar thing fitted and he could actually see through the gap between the two windows, no method of sealing at all just a couple of screws 🤬.

Thanks Russell, I will email them now to confirm. Do you have the KF 520 window?

I wasn't aware this was that sort of forum. 😉

By the time you are near to finishing your build you probably wish you had a crack pipe.

We have internorm KF410 windows with one large window in two sections, one fixed and one opening.

 

This coupling is actually very good. 

 

 

 

It is invisible from the front of the window and our fitters actually fitted it correctly (although I am a little concerned it sticks out at the top) unlike our very expensive internorm entrance door to sidelights junction that is a very different design and fitted very badly.

 

You big windows will be supplied without the glazing units installed.  For the installation of the glazing units into the frame Internom supply a sealant type stuff, fix-o-round to be applied around the perimeter to supposedly improve stability and sound reduction/airtightness.  Our fitters didn't use it (they used packers) hence we have a box of fix-o-round on site.  Fitters claim the fix-o-round isnt necessary but I suspect they just couldn't be arsed.

We have the 410 in our current build and have two large units joined using same detail, works well, no fuss. The strip can be trimmed at the top with a multi cutter btw.
