Hi all
I am in the process of moving and have a fair bit of work to do, including fitting 3 new windows. Never done it before, but looks easy enough, just need to get the right size?
So i had a closer look, the windows fitted are aluminium type in a wooden frame and against the brickwork, just in front of the window is a flat piece of wood with a rounded edge! Also the window appears to be set back a long way, my question is what is the flat piece there for? (on the windows that have already been done, this has been replaced with a similar upvc piece) When i take my measurements should i go from the brickwork or do i have to put this piece in first? There is a possibility that the house is a timber frame (according to ep certificate) but i have not verified this, valuation survey says brick construction? built in 1970's and is chalet style. I don't know if this makes any difference to how the windows are fitted, also what would the extra piece be called, should i order with the window?
Thank you
