anyone would bother with the window. It spoils a good internal

for putting anything else in that position and potentially gives
access for vermin. Darn silly idea in my opinion.

What window are you talking about. A windown to bring the fresh air
in,

No.

or the window 'straw bale wall example' we get at exhibition shows
etc.

I don't know what you mean by this but an 'integrity' window is also
called a 'truth' window and it looks nothing like a window in reality.
It's really just a bit of the internal wall that is left unrendered
and which shows the strawbale in it's natural state. It's framed and
has glass on top so that it shows the straw through it.
