Moving Window Frames out into the EWI layer

[MikeGrahamT21]

Yeah I know what you mean about staying busy, its hard to stop DIYing when you've started! I'm currently midway through ripping loft insulation out of a 1960's bungalow, installing loft legs and brand new insulation, horrible dusty job though!

 

I only 'may' do one window next year, if I rip the floor up in that room, i'd do it while the mess was about, but I've not decided whether or not to do that yet, depends how much i overbought on the insulation i'm using for the loft!

Did you get anywhere with these? I’m thinking of doing the one window which is getting moved out this year possibly. I’ve got a sample of compacfoam now but just don’t think it’s strong enough to hold a full large window by itself and the fire risk i mentioned. Interesting material though for sure!

Few factors exist, type/loading etc. I have 3 lift and slide doors side by side, spanning 17 metres. Weighing approx 400KG each, sitting directly on top of compacfoam without any issues.

I can understand it under doors, as the length of compacfoam will be supported by something all the way underneath, but for a window, its going to be down to however many mechnical fixings plus glue, and thats the bit which scares me!
