Hello,

could you maybe give me one or two tips on how your windows look? Currently, the windows in the old building are to be renewed, inside and outside, but the previous owner did not take any window sills or the depth of the window into account. This means that the window is basically flush with the wall, except for 1-2 cm.

I had actually gotten used to it, but when you are already doing something new, you naturally wonder if you could do it better, especially since it is supposed to last longer.

Currently, as you can see in the picture

The window is in the kitchen and sits about 10 cm above the countertop. Do you find the height okay? Or what would you do better overall?

How thick is the exterior wall? Windows are usually significantly thinner than the walls.

What does it look like from the outside?

Wtf??

Inside, from the window to the parapet edge, we have 16-17cm with a 36.5 cm brick. But the distance is determined by the roller shutter box, nothing else. Without a roller shutter, you have to ask the window manufacturer what is standard for them.

Hello guys, thanks for the quick feedback!

I should have mentioned that it is a prefab house. Accordingly, stud depth 90mm. With exterior cladding (2x OSB double cladding) then 120mm as well as inside 1x 10mm OSB and 1x 12.5mm drywall then 122.5mm.

Modern windows have a profile depth of somewhere between 78 and 92 mm. If you then add the roller shutter guide rail, you basically have no choice but to reinstall the windows exactly the same way.
