Hello,
for our conventionally built house from 1992, I am considering external wall insulation including new windows. This is completely unclear to me in detail, so I would like to ask:
As far as I understand, with external wall insulation, the new windows are installed further out, flush with the old plaster. However, regarding the roller shutters, this not only means that the old guides must be removed and reinstalled on/in the insulation. Is that even possible? And what about the roller shutter boxes? Installing new roller shutter boxes in front of the old ones is not feasible because the insulation is "only" about 15 cm thick. But removing the old roller shutter boxes is also not possible or would cause a huge effort and a lot of mess. Or how is this problem usually solved?
What about canopies, etc.? We have massive, tile-covered canopies above the entrance and above the terrace, the supporting structure consists of solid beams attached to the house wall (and of course vertical supports at the front end). Do all these have to be dismantled and reinstalled? Is it even possible to mount something like that on the insulation?
