Insulating around windows?

ninjaBob · 2010-01-04 10:14:43

I was just wondering how this is done. I have around 45mm to play with, have sealed the windows with foam and taped around them. What are the best methods of insulating around the windows? Cheers

I presume you mean internal. I used mastic to insulate the outside edges and then after that before the internal architrave went back on I stuffed the area with standard insulation packed in tightly. Not sure if this is the best way but I have no drafts and it appears to be working well.
