We had our house insulated early this year.
We replaced a couple of windows at the same time and so pushed the windows to the outside edge of the blockwork, and let the insulation form the entire outside reveal.
Now, a few months on, we have decided to replace the remaining windows (A bit more money became available). I obviously want to push these also to the front edge of the blockwork to remove the cold bridge.
The easy option would seen to be cut back to where the blockwork ends and tuck the windows behind requiring no additional work to the EWI, but a better option for getting the windows well sized seems to be to cut the front face of the insulation to the original window width, and then form a new reveal. Can this be done with no bead there, or is this likely to end in an ugly mess?
Thanks
Tim
