Recommendation for awning

Also interesting would of course be the price you paid

Nothing yet, but from a current offer:
Cassette awning, brand Weinor, type OPAL Design Lux, including wind uplift protection, frame: aluminum, lighting: with 10 spotlights, width: 520 cm, projection: 400 cm, operation: motor 230 V, without valance, radio control for motor, light and valance plus brand Weinor type BiRecMVLED, wall bracket brand Weinor standard awning type Opal, radio remote control brand Weinor type BIEasy 5M, Agido wind sensor, awning installation without electrical connection ==> 4,897.89 euros gross.

We will definitely install an awning, we already have the corresponding supports and STO blocks in the wall

The awning suppliers we spoke with considered that not necessary. They would simply go through the ETICS into the intermediate ceiling using standard dowels and spacers.

How important do you consider the installation of an awning on the ETICS using suitable mounting blocks? How did it work in practice? Who brought the drawing for the positioning of the blocks and when? Did it then fit the awning installed later?

Thanks for the information on the awning and the offer price. Since we have a timber frame house, the type of installation you described would probably not work. In our "old" apartment, this method of attachment (spacer sleeves to bridge the ETICS and then glued dowels in the masonry behind) worked very well. The STO blocks are visible in our construction plan (working plan). Three separate detail drawings were created showing the exact positioning. Regards, Dirk

Unfortunately, I cannot provide any information yet. The daughter is ill, and the mother only knows that the electrician had to come back because the awning was not planned beforehand.

: Since we had planned a awning in a defined size from the beginning, these detailed plans were automatically created by the house manufacturer to make installation as easy as possible for the awning installer.

Our house manufacturer, supported by relevant experience, then independently determined and installed the position and sizing of the brackets.

: Don't stress yourself, we are not in a hurry yet...

Interesting .. How many brackets did you install? Do you know the exact type? Do you have rigid foam brackets or "real" heavy-duty brackets?

We have installed three StoFix Quader HD Maxi.

They are, if I remember correctly, made of rigid foam (polyurethane?).
