We have a window frame where the top course of bricks on the outer wall is made up of bullnosed bricks.
Something like this:
We have bought a window and the installation has not completed yet. The window has been installed on top of the outer wall. Like this:
From the inside:
It looks kind of strange now (at least to my eyes) since there is now a gap between the sill and the bullnosed course of bricks.
I would prefer it if the window was positioned more towards the centre of the wall like this so the bullnoses can be seen:
I believe that this can be achieved by adding some wood into the cavity fixed to the breeze block like this (shown in red) so the window can then be attached to this wood:
Our builder is looking to see if this is do-able... there are some concerns around building control, thermal bridging and the wood rotting away in the long run...
Are there any common solutions for this kind of thing?
Thanks!
