New to the forum and looking for a little advise. I am well on with a polarwall self build and it's all poured and I'm looking at my pile of concrete cills and after reading various posts on the forum regarding problems with water ingress around cills am now wondering would anybody know of any reason why I can't abandon my concrete cills and just fit UPVC windows with UPVC cills already attached. I have fitted many UPVC windows back in the UK and I know you can order them with or without cills, and the cills are available in a number of widths to suit construction. Is there any reason I can't use UPVC cills with an ICF build and if so has anyone any advice on their installation?
Thank you in anticipation.

This forum is really the helpdesk for issues with boards itself, If you pop on over to the Construction & Planning forum I'm sure they will be able to offer some advice!
