The window is either screwed to the outer leaf or in the case of uPVC metal straps are used to fix it to the inner leaf. The latter are shown above. These are then plastered over.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50625#Comment_50625 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50625#Comment_50625 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:58:45 +0000 marktime https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50639#Comment_50639 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50639#Comment_50639 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:13:15 +0000 chuckey http://www.screwfix.com/sfd/i/cat/02/p1792502_x.jpg

Hey! that's one of my drawings as well! [though credit to Tony for the fine tuning to suit full-fill]

I also think the window is best placed in the insulation zone as its position relative to the vertical DPC eliminates the risk of water penetrating through the outer leaf and around [bypassing the window] into the insulation itself, which, if organic, will cause problems]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50675#Comment_50675 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50675#Comment_50675 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:16:19 +0000 stephendv marktime the DIY approach might be a good option here as I'd have to import ready made versions.

The cavity closer is an important element independant of your thermal bridging question but the two can be combined to provide a single solution.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50741#Comment_50741 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3774&Focus=50741#Comment_50741 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:59:36 +0000 ralphd Posted By: fostertomWindow should go in the insulation zone, Passivhaus-style, ideally with some insulation mastering across the outside and if poss inside face of the frame.

I agree with Tom. After looking at the PassivHaus window installation details, I was quite impressed with how thermal bridging is minimized. In my own house I spent most of the effort avoiding thermal bridging in the wall, not in the windows.

The cold bridge afforded by the window framing is a detail to be addressed in the selection of the windowNo, nothing to do with the frame - the uninsulated (or virtually uninsulated) bridge is round the back of the frame - the stone is only (looks like) 25mm away from inside air, comprising 15 plaster and say 10 of the 'board insulation'.]]>
