Hello everyone,
unfortunately, we did not install a roller shutter on one window and now want to make up for it. Thanks to permanent home office, the room is now used differently than originally planned and therefore needs darkening for the summer.
The roller shutter box to be installed would be 14x14 cm, the ETICS is 17 cm thick. My idea was to "cut out" this exact 14x14 cm block from the ETICS above the window and then install the roller shutter box in this space. This would leave about 3 cm of ETICS remaining and I would not have to do anything to the facade. In principle, this would be the same setup as with the other roller shutters.
Is this a sensible approach? Or does this cause a bigger problem regarding insulation / thermal bridge? THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE :D
Here is my plan schematically:
