Pressure-treated framework/window replacement
Hello.
I had a window replacement done by a well-renowned company, not the cheapest on Blocket, so that potential discussion is settled.
However, I noted and pointed out that pressure-treated wood was used, which I found questionable, as this was for mounting the new window section. Since the new window section is somewhat narrower, it needed to be covered with a trim, and according to the attached picture, it is pressure-treated in the living space itself, and it is enclosed, which bothers me. I also don't like that they rest on pressure-treated wood, but in that case, it's not inside the living space like in the ceiling, and it's also well-ventilated below, which is not the case in the ceiling.
Should I let this go or make a fuss about it? It shouldn't make any difference, but the craftsmen are nice, and I have a good relationship with them. It would also have been easier if it didn't involve two sessions of 150kg each and a whole lot of work to correct. I'm not afraid of conflict, but I don't like to argue for the sake of it, so to speak.
Grateful for input and thanks in advance.

Apologies for the lack of clarity - it is under the longitudinal roof strip where the window is mounted in pressure-treated wood, which also extends a few centimeters into the living part as the previous batch was somewhat deeper (30 mm)Stefan N said:
