Sorry, but that's total peanuts. What do you expect your desired "pre-assembly" to cost? How do you intend to attach a "non-anchored" French balcony to the facade, on which water then cannot run down?

Build into the reveal! It looks better anyway than those prison bars on the facade (but tends to be more expensive, just as a warning ;-)) But it "unfortunately" also requires fastening materials ;-)

Likes sarcasm :)

So here is my initial question: is it possible to realize this without later drips, without drilling afterwards through the [WDVS], and with a mesh instead of glass in front of the glass?

If the answer is "no," then I have to accept it and choose the best option for me from the alternatives. It could have been that one system covers these three requirements.

Isn't adhesive also fastening material? xD

There were tie-down straps at Aldi recently ...



Here you go :)



Maybe someone will come up with something. Who knows.
By the way, even in monolithic masonry, an anchor weakens thermal insulation, although it does not completely bridge it (as it would be the case with ETICS without thermally separated anchors).

There are installation boxes, device carriers, mounting plates that can be attached directly when installing the ETICS, instead of using anchors afterward. Maybe that suits you better? But I have no idea whether that is suitable for fall protection.

The fall protection and thus also the anchoring must be able to hold a fully grown person, if necessary, in the event of a fall for the intended application. I would also rather go nicely deep into the reveal. However, sometimes it is too narrow for that due to the installation level of the window (which should be quite far forward with ETICS). So, if I understand you correctly, you assume that the protection can be better anchored into the masonry before the ETICS and then the ETICS is basically glued around it? I think that will go wrong. The design of the fall protection must be such that the drip edge is clearly away from the facade to prevent drip stains. So basically a "predetermined breaking point" further forward, where the water "wants" to run. No idea if this is already considered by manufacturers who explicitly produce for this purpose. But it is an interesting line of thought that I will also take with me for my protection.

Tolentino, I believe you have EXACTLY understood what I want. :)

So, I would work with appropriately decoupled wall anchor systems for ETICS and have the fastening installed with a slight incline away from the window. Then the water should run off the facade and "want to" drip off the lower edge of the fastening. Note well, only if an installation in the reveal is not possible due to the suspected insufficient depth of the reveal in front of the window.
