Here is the board I was thinking of. I have personally tested screwing into it and can confirm that it holds well!

Looks really good. The question is whether a compact board is that much better than a wooden frame. But undeniably, this is a product that would solve the problem.

Lambda at 0.059 compared to wood at 0.14 or regular mineral wool 0.036. So it's a bit worse than regular mineral wool, but better than wood!
If you are going to add extra studs on the outside to attach the window to, what should the facade board attach to? Nothing at all right at the window?
Perhaps it is enough to add to the vertical studs, and then not extend the horizontal ones, so you can at least attach the facade boards above and below the window to the existing studs?
In my case, it's a new build, but the principle is probably the same.

The idea is that you shouldn't do that to break the thermal bridge; you simply shouldn't have wood through the entire wall. If you don't want to mount the frame in line with the frame, there are fittings/brackets for that.
Yes, I have seen that piece. But I haven't found any manual or video on how they should be used, or any experiences from someone who has them. Seems a bit fiddly for someone who has never installed windows even in the usual way?
I've only read tips about adding an extra regel. And if you're going to do that, I wonder if my thinking is correct?
We first considered hanging the windows with brackets mentioned earlier in the thread, but instead, we framed a frame on the structure in which we mounted the windows. We have tongue-and-groove paneling, so the idea that water would seep in felt far-fetched.

How did you attach the edges of the facade boards along the window? What is the benefit of the frame at the top/bottom? Isn't it just the sides you screw the window into?

The panels are quite rigid, it's enough to mount them against and attach them to the frame like everywhere else. You can build as you wish, but I want to use all the attachment points on the window and have the opportunity to insulate all around. However, if you have narrow windows, you might skip these, but windows wider than ~12 have frame holes even in the middle. These windows are 20 wide.

Okay, mine are mostly 110 and 140 wide, so it's better to set them around rather than complicating things. I have a 140cm existing one that doesn't have screws up/down, but I see now that I have on the larger ones.
What dimensions do you have for studs and facade board? I'm going with 50mm boards, but studs are usually 45mm, even though there are some places where 50mm is available. It might not matter if only 5mm is missing if I choose 45x45 for framing. You seem to have thicker ones.

I have studded out 95 mm, the facade boards are 100 mm, so I placed a pallet washer of 5 mm between the nail battens
