Options for new window to EWI, for single brick reveal, retrofit [Version ID #219]
Detail summary
Two alternative options for new window installation to a single brick reveal; alternatives to the reveal detail to sit at the head of the window, with either no subframe or reveal; or with a timber studframe and stainless steel reveal.
For use on Victorian single brick reveals; where original window was originally sat behind and larger than structural opening in outer face of existing masonry wall. Window retrofitted from the outside after completion of insulation.
This detail is designed to reduce thermal bridging and improve air-tightness whilst spreading structural load of new window and maximising glazed area. The timber box also acts as self-finished internal reveal. (May be painted/ varnished as required).
Technical description
Section details. EWI to new replacement window, on box into former window location. New triple glazed window to replace existing. Additional reveal works to preserve character of original window. Windows should be installed from outside, with insulation fitted tight up to box and appropriate air-tightness work undertaken as shown on detail drawing.
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.
