I ask, as when I measure my windows (which were only installed in the last day or so) the gaps along both the vertical sides & the top of the window frames to the surrounding wooden frame, are all roughly around 20-25mm. On one particular window frame, the gap to the wooden frame is 35mm !!!! Surely this can't be acceptable ??? If anyone can offer any comments, I'd be most grateful.... Thanks in advance, Chorlton Everything is fine!!! Most window manufacturers specify 20mm gap to allow for movement in the house frame and also to allow for adjustment in the window. When the window is plumb and operable, packers should be inserted between the window and the frame before nailing (many don't use packers, but they should). Ed Hi Ed, I echo Snoofie's comments !! .. and Many Thanks for putting my mind at rest.......
