Good evening,
during the measurement of the windows, we found that we need a frame extension,
since the outer opening is significantly smaller than the inner opening of the window(s).
Of course, the windows are now supposed to get an external roller shutter!
The following question arose: Is the guide rail of the external roller shutter included in the frame extension? Or will the guide rail later disappear behind the smaller outer opening in the masonry? These are the concerns I have!
Can someone with experience help me out here?
Here an example:
Window opening outside (width): 850 mm
Window opening inside (width): 1000 mm
Left edge from inner to outer opening: 70 mm
Right edge from inner to outer opening: 80 mm
With a frame thickness (System Iglo 5 has 74mm but here 70 for easier calculation) of 70 mm, I would have to add 100 mm (50mm each left and right) to the size of the outer opening, if 2 cm are supposed to protrude into the outer opening on the left and right (visible frame from outside). So the window rests 5cm on the left and right. Now the frame extension comes to fill the missing area so that the window can be installed cleanly. That is 2cm on the left (7cm - 5cm) and 30mm on the right (8cm - 5 cm). Left and right 1cm for mounting material is disregarded here!
How does the external roller shutter and its guide rails behave in relation to the frame extensions? Theoretically, the guide rails should also become wider around the frame extension so that the rails do not disappear behind the smaller outer opening.
Please help!
Best regards and thanks in advance!
