Have been looking at windows for weeks now, looking at the options for a narrower frame view ( Nordic / Danish / Integral styles etc.. ), i.e. to maximise the visible glass area in retrofit. But something I still don't get ( I think I have forgotten ), what are the potential issues with frame depth ( into the wall )?

e.g.

Typical Inward opening continental windows, i.e. 120mm width 80mm depth
Typical Outward opening continental windows, e.g. 80 mm width 120mm depth

Are deeper profiles problematic for inward opening windows? or something else ?]]>

Typically a fanlight with uPVC frames is more frame than glass area for fanlight.

Is this for newbuild or retrofit and dg or 3g?]]>
