Hello, I am currently having the windows replaced in our single-family house (built in 1980). The whole process is being carried out "according to RAL installation". Old wooden windows are being removed, new plastic windows installed. I have two questions - also considering that this is the first time I am experiencing a window replacement "live" and I do not fully trust the craftsmen. 1. After two windows have been replaced, I notice that the new windows are not completely flush with the inner windowsill. There is a gap of about 0.5 - 1 cm. Is this "normal" and can it simply be sealed with silicone or acrylic? 2. The gap between the masonry and the window is filled with PU foam. As a finish, strips are glued onto the cut foam. Does this procedure correspond to a RAL installation? I have tried to find information online and here only diffusion-open or closed sealing tapes are mentioned as a finish... Many thanks!

Hello andi2333,

a few months ago, we also replaced our old wooden windows with plastic windows, have similar problems, and were forced to deal with installation according to aRdT.

The additionally attached vertical strip in the reveal was probably installed because the window was measured incorrectly, i.e., it is too small for this opening.

Your new inspection openings lack the side finishing strips; they are only smeared with silicone...

I would be interested to know which window manufacturer you chose and whether the building inspection has already taken place???
