Hello, I had a new kitchen window (triple glazing ug) installed in my RH built in 1986 and want to insulate the reveal.
At first, I wanted to insulate with multipor reveal boards but I am not sure how to do that with the window sill. Because these boards are 2 cm thin and very brittle. If the new window sill is to be made of Dekton/ glass or something heavier, then I fear that the reveal board will give way due to the weight.
Is insulation actually installed under the window sill and if so with what? Can you use a Wedi board?
What alternative possibilities or materials are there to multipor? If I stay within the system, it will be a bit expensive for one window and I would have to throw away a lot of material afterwards.
Attached is a photo of the window.
To the left and right of the window sill area is the old foam.
The new window was installed as follows.
Inside wind barrier, then Soudal MF 167 foam, compressible tape. The window was of course also screwed in.
According to the construction documents, the wall structure is as follows:
11.5 cm VMZ, 4 cm air gap, 6 cm core insulation, 17.5 cm rear masonry KSL.
