We are re-insulating the walls at home in the kitchen and dining room, but how do we handle the doors and windows to get a nice transition between the wall and the frame/molding? Does anyone have pictures of some solutions? :)
 
Do you mean outside or inside?

I think you mean externally.
If so: Move doors and windows out to normal standard and then it will sort itself out.

I think you mean internally.
If so: Keep doors and windows in the existing location and put a trim piece in the recess that is formed, preferably in a light color like white or light light gray. Then the trim and molding will sort itself out.

Yes, I mean internally. Forgot to write that.
But adding a smygskiva, does it make the "window" smaller or what do you mean? Any good picture you could show? :D

It doesn't need to be smaller windows; it all depends on the measurement you give the jamb.
Of course, it can "creep about 13 mm on each side depending on the sheet thickness, but you can take a picture so we can see how you plan to proceed.
This can be done in different ways as well. and I don't have a good picture to upload...

If you take a picture of how it looks and how you plan to add insulation then.
It might be enough with a thin masonite panel to use as a jamb panel, or maybe an MDF panel. As you understand, the conditions depend exactly on the way you do the job.

If you haven't started yet, I suggest you improvise your way forward.

Thank you, thank you for the tips and advice. :D :D :D

That could be the case, yes. Very good pictures, however, what I wrote remains that you have to improvise when you're there...

Good luck elektra.
