Posted By: gravelldBy shims do you mean the plastic tabs for leveling? Normally they are removed once installed. Use a crowbar to take the weight of the window and remove them. That's what I was taught anyway.
Posted By: Nick ParsonsI cannot see the scale. What's the dia of the duct? How about (if it's 150mm or so) a 200mm flowerpot with the hole taped with, say, Tescon Vana. Seal around the perim with decorators' caulk.
Posted By: Doubting_ThomasHadn't considered silicone for the duct seal but I suppose this might be quite simple to remove as a single lump later, provided it has something to form against.
Hadn't considered removing the plastic shims. I guess my concern would be that a grout replacement (as suggested by GreenPaddy) would be less thermally efficient but that squirty foam wouldn't take the load.
