Retained window to EWI, thin jamb (Plan)
Detail summary
Detail for external wall insulation to an existing window to be retained, where the existing window sits up against the inside edge of existing window jamb. This detail proposes Aerogel insulation to be used where the existing window jamb and head is too narrow for standard 40mm woodfibre reveal boards.
Technical description
Plan detail. EWI to existing retained window, perpendicular cill profile.
Reference Specification
Where the 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. All phenolic foam (PF): To BS EN 13166.
Notes
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.
All insulation to be continuous to avoid thermal bridging.
Preparation of external wall: Remove any existing loose material and prepare in accordance with manufacturer's requirements.
Any alterations to drainage and other fixtures, or work to prepare the substrate, to be agreed with contract administrator prior to work being undertaken. Prior to start on site inspect the form and condition of the structural substrate; institute repairs and/ or additional works necessary to make the substrate suitable to receive EWI system.
