Sorry for my imprecise request.

So, we have not decided on anything yet and were told the following:

for window sills that are not made of aluminum - so regardless of whether granite or stone or or or .... - the above-mentioned risk always exists. Namely, that cracks form in the masonry and water or moisture penetrates.
Therefore the question, is that really the case?

No, we are not building with WVDS, we are building with bricks without additional insulation.

Hello!

Monolithic construction - this little detail should definitely be mentioned. I thought they had all disappeared with the Energy Saving Ordinance.....

Unfortunately, I only know of one construction project in this regard – with aluminum window sills. However, I would be very interested to know where else this type of construction is still being done and what the results look like.

Best regards,
Tomtom.
