Anything is possible Expand 😂 he can def get them I think it’s the fact we’ve been let down and now having to wait 3 weeks for them! The floor has arrived and waiting to go on so I think that’s why he’s looking at alternatives!

The gap will be bigger than shown in the black diagram above, because the tray would go on top of the lintel on the outer leaf, but if this were a wide first floor window, with few courses above, I wouldn't expect beads to flow all the way across. So if you're doing it yourself (rather than relying on your brickie) you could cut some solid insulation, & get a good tight fit, or perhaps you could get the bead installer to pump in from the inside, directly behind the tray - probably a bad idea - I'm full of them.

Expand Every day is a school day my man If you do as I have, and have spent a lot of time around people who don't care enough to come up with an idea, then you'll sleep well tonight I assure you

You’ve made me think about the bit below the tray though so might speak to builder if he does a split lintel. Maybe get him to stuff that void with dritherm just in case. I could also be patient and wait 3 weeks… I’m just impatient and I know he’s got lads ready to crack on with the second lift 1
