That’s good :xl:

What’s the weight of each unit Joe ? Must be 120Kg at least.

Don’t envy the fitters - I fitted (with help) a 60Kg reinforced glass for a Juliette balcony at home - that was fun and at least it was a regular shape.

Sure it’ll go well.

Last estimate I heard was 160kgs. It is built from 3 sheets of 6mm glass to reduce flex due to its size. 8-)

Nice, certainly looks a heavy and awkward unit to handle, hopefully they got some good suction lifts.

If it was me I'd be using a mechanical lift up onto level boards with the cill as the top will be hard to control. It's not going to be easy and one of the windows has a triple radiator in front of it. I reckon 5 of us will manage.

This is how it should be for install.
