Hello,
I have dormer windows installed and now the windows still need to be fitted. I have an idea of how it should be done, but I’d rather ask to be sure :-)
The beams are 12cm (5 inches) thick. I need 16cm (6.3 inches) for the insulation (mineral wool + vapor barrier), so I wanted to screw 48x48mm (1.9x1.9 inches) battens all around, which adds up to 168mm (6.6 inches). The window (Energeto 8000, triple-glazed) will be installed as usual: wrapped with the flashing tapes around the frame, aligned, screwed in, foamed in place, and the flashing tapes folded over (outside under white side coverings (see pictures), inside onto the vapor barrier). The metal window sill fits into the first window rebate at the bottom, right? With the available space (2cm (0.8 inches) to white panels + 48mm (1.9 inches) battens + 24mm (0.9 inches) intermediate layer for sockets + drywall), the window will fit in without an internal window sill. Maybe a 5cm (2 inches) window sill that looks into the room? If I have a rough opening from wood to wood measuring 140x140cm (55x55 inches), do I then order 138x138cm (54x54 inches)? For that size, it would probably be a double casement window?
Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, editing is not possible:
Installation level = 48mm (1.9 inches) = interior windowsill 9-10cm (3.5-4 inches) if it extends 2cm (0.8 inches) into the room
Window thickness is 85mm (3.3 inches).
How do I seal with an external window tape? Apply external adhesive tape and hide it with trim?
Installation as usual means according to RAL standards.
If I position the 48x48mm (1.9x1.9 inch) battens 1cm (0.4 inches) away from the window, I could buy windows that fit flush directly in front of the white panels, since the 1cm (0.4 inch) foam gap is present with the battening.
