Sash window in wall

[Seanie_230]

Hello all
I am currently extending my kitchen into the outbuilding. I have a sash window replica being installed next week.
After the window install which is on the inside brick like it should be I need to put in 75mm insulation and 12mm plasterboard to comply with building regs on the external wall.

Has anyone got any pictures of a window that has been framed around, preferably with architrave so I can explain to the plasterer how it should look after the boards go in.
I see some people build a timber frame and window sill into the plaster.
How would you get to the window in the future if I ever needed to adjust the weights or something?
Cheers all
Looking forward to some pictures, I cannot see to google the right phrase.
Also it is easy to find someone to make the horns and glue them on?

Hi Seanie. The weights should be accessible via pocket pieces in the stiles of the frame. They should be uncovered by raising the bottom sash as far up as it will go. The horns should be part of the sashes, I would ask the joiner company making the window to make the sashes with horns on the uprights as they make the sash stronger and look better. I think wood paneling around the window to cover the insulation to look a bit like a folded away shutter would look nice, and architrave on the wall. If you felt like being fancy you could make real shutters, for example see below which is very Georgian, but an attractive solution to make up the thickness of the wall.

Hi there
Thank you so much for giving me an idea what to search for. The term "sash window shutters" worked a treat to see how a window will look with 82.5 mm built onto the internal wall.
I will be putting architrave on the wall and use a decent bullnose window sill.
It's a shame as my window is already made so the bullnose will have to be added on this time.

Well this is now I did mine. Only about 45mm in this wall.

20 x 45 battons added all around on the the face of the linings which brought it flush with the existing plaster then the moulding over the gap with a little squeeze of cork to fill any gaps to the plaster. I haven't bothered with a cill.

There can't be much wall left for you to insulate what with the boiler and cupboards under? Are you sure BC won't give a dispensation.

Hope the fitting goes well.
