Hello everyone,
we are now about to install the windows… As far as I know, the window reveal must always be filled before installation. This has been done everywhere, but as a layperson, I’m not sure if this is correct..? My site manager tends to agree with everything and so does not have much expertise (a request for a replacement has been made).
From the picture, it can be seen that this was done only with cement mortar.
The exterior wall structure is: 1cm (0.4 inches) plaster (interior), 17.5cm (7 inches) Poroton brick, 16.0cm (6.3 inches) insulation, 1.5cm (0.6 inches) plaster (exterior).
Friends who have recently built their homes say that a smoothing coat must still be applied. Is that true, or would this work as it is (see picture) to ensure airtightness?

A smooth finish is applied to the joints of exposed or facing masonry. Windows are installed into the rough opening, which has not yet been plastered. Why would you want to apply a smooth filler there?

Regarding the sealing tape and adhesive foil.And you’re afraid that the joint interlocking will be too uneven? Where exactly is the installation plane supposed to be?

That's how I know it as well, and that's what the window installer also wanted. It was installed accordingly all around by the shell builder – but this was also part of the standard scope of services for the company. And that is now one of the questions I am asking myself.
The main question remains, though, whether it is actually necessary..?
