Fitting upvc window & door in shed frame - What size gap

kujina · 9 Jun 2009

What kind of gap if any, do I need around the frames when installing a upvc window & French door into timber shed frame (4 x 2's)?

I already have the second hand window and door, and I'm currently finishing the timber frame.

normally 5 mm each side is what you would expect but it it goes into a timber frame then you will be ok, the 5mm is for expansion of the frame

I found a wickes instruction leaflet online as a pdf that says (page 11 under general informaton)

Brick or blockwork openings should be a minimum of 9mm larger to allow for adjustment and square fixing in the opening. Timber stud partitions should be made to the exact size ensuring that they are perfectly square.
