Retained window to EWI, with sloping cill [Version ID #141]
Detail summary
EWI detail to an existing window, to be retained, with an existing sloping cill. This detail allows for the profile of the sloping cill to be retained whilst improving the thermally efficiency of the envelope by allowing insulation to be carried up to the window frame, in instances where the original window jamb is reduced in depth.
Technical description
Section detail. EWI to existing retained window, sloping cill profile retained.
Where existing position of windows is to be retained when EWI is installed, window reveals must be insulated to prevent cold bridge. Phenolic foam to be used in foam based EWI systems or in woodfibre systems where existing window jamb and head is too narrow for standard 40mm woodfibre reveal boards.
Care should be taken during the installation to ensure the continuity of insulation and air-tightness at the junction between window, existing wall and external wall insulation.

External Wall Insulation (Woodfibre) System With Rendered Finish
For use on solid and hard to treat cavity walls. Composite woodfibre board. UdiTherm SK back board, Diffutherm NF (T&G, renderable) top board. \ Fixed mechanically to substrate in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. \ Base Coat - levelling on substrate: 90% contact required around edge of boards between board and substrate to prevent thermal bypass. If substrate is very uneven, use base-coat material around edge of board to achieve contact. \ Thermal conductivity: 0.045W/m2K. GWP 0.
