@andimann : I really like your lamps.

Could you share a close-up photo and maybe tell me what kind of lamps they are?

Best regards,

Try searching for Hornbach Modena 2-light stainless steel outdoor wall spot.

Best regards,

Hi,

On one hand, it looks slightly uneven under the windowsill, and I would have preferred it to be plastered. On the other hand, it seems a bit odd to me that there are no ridge tiles on the projecting ledge’s “ridge” as well. To me, this looks like the result of a missing detailed drawing for that connection.

Not bad, good eye... There is indeed a spot that still needs some rework. It’s not uneven, but a wave in the plaster. That makes it appear uneven.

I’m not familiar with ridge tiles for such a plaster connection—how would they ensure watertightness? You can’t avoid flashing there. I would have also preferred if it were a bit lower, but according to my expert, this is done according to best practice. If it were made smaller, they wouldn’t provide a guarantee for watertightness anymore.

Best regards,

Andreas

I think it’s better to add another sheet over the upper half of the metal including the fasteners. That’s how it was done in our case...

And how is the upper sheet attached then? Glued?

Right – I’m not a roofer and couldn’t show you how to do it more elegantly.

We didn’t want a flat roof there, our neighbors have that and we don’t like it at all.

I wouldn’t want a flat roof there either; I prefer the house’s style with projections rather than having them look like they’re sticking out by accident.

Unfortunately, not with adequate craftsmanship, so all I can do is nitpick.

Exactly that would be less noticeable if the small gap between the roof and the window sill were not further divided by the sheet metal lying on the plaster.

Screwed through the lower sheet metal. Strong winds during a storm can drive rain up against the edge. Depending on how your wall was constructed, rain might get between the sheet metal and the render and then run down inside the wall... However, it is quite possible that, according to building technology, it is sufficient if the sheet metal is installed very high, as shown here...

There is also a kind of bitumen tape (or something similar, basically a sticky black material) between the wall and the metal sheet. So the metal sheet acts only as the outer layer, while the waterproofing layer is behind it.
