Thank you for the response! I place the window roughly in the middle, so leaving a gap there doesn't really fit...
I assume it's not a very big thermal bridge we're talking about. I calculated that the U-value of wood 285mm is about 0.45 compared to 0.12 for insulation.

You may be able to pull out (or in) the horizontal 145's (top and bottom piece) and level with the outside. Then there could be a gap between 45 and 90 mm wide that breaks the thermal bridge and is replaced with insulation. Then this must be covered with the reveal cladding/window sill.
Just don't forget to think about how the airtight layer should be applied around the construction.
This is not a universal trick or anything, just a quick thought from my side, you have to ponder this a bit yourself before you start, as I could have thought wrong... :blushing:
I'm not stupid, I just have bad luck when I think!
edit: In the image, I have "split" the standing 145 just to see what's "behind." The horizontal 95 should be able to be nailed into a vertical 145 pbs next to the window.

Better u-value than the window itself then ...injonil said:
Sometimes you have to bend a little for the simple things in life.
I've spent quite a bit of thought on how I could minimize all kinds of thermal bridges, and I've had plenty of ideas. Many of them clearly feasible.
But in the end, I've still fallen back on a completely traditional frame of solid beams and seem to be doing all the windows "by the book" with poorer insulation, etc., etc.
All just because it would take so much time to mess around with special solutions.
But the next house ... then ...

If you now want to go with my solution, you can nail on 28*dim you want on the lättreglen, then you also have to screw in and there won't be as much wood that conducts heat. That's how we do it at work anyway. Otherwise, it sounds pretty good as you have planned and if it's easier for you, of course, you should go with that.
