Hi all
Looking into installing one of these on the rear of our house. Got some rotten French doors to remove, and the opening will be partially bricked up. The "oriel window" will extend out by 300mm so needs a base structure to sit on. The window manufacturers have given me a drawing showing a steel frame for it to to sit on, but for a cavity wall (our external wall is solid 9 inch).
So after discussing it with some builders the frame could go through the wall and angle down and be fixed on the inside (make sense??). Ive been told the steel could create a cold spot inside though? Could this frame be made of timber? The width of the opening is 2.4m wide (!) x 1.5 height and 300mm depth.
Any thoughts!? Ive attached the tech drawing, a photo of an example window and our opening where the window would go (on the right of the rear of the house, not the large opening for future set of sliding doors)....
Cheers for your help!
