ᐅ Chases in Exterior Walls – Should They Be Filled with Mortar?

Hello everyone,
As part of routing the wiring for the lamps on the exterior facade, we will need to cut a few grooves into the masonry (Poroton).
They won’t be very deep, of course, but with Poroton, larger pieces can sometimes break out unexpectedly.
Question for the group:
What should I use to fill these grooves after the cables are installed? That is, before plastering.
Regular mortar? Or do I need to consider potential thermal bridging? Are there insulating mortars available?
Or is this not really relevant and will be addressed by the exterior plaster?
Thanks and best regards

Does the protective conduit run from the distribution point all the way to the end?Yes, from the distribution point to the spot where it currently comes out at the exterior wall... with a bit of extra length as usual...

If a large section does get damaged, you can use some mortar. Type MG 2 should be sufficient. But anything smaller than a fist-sized area will be handled by the plasterer.Thanks!

I wouldn’t change anything. Once it’s plastered and soil is filled in around, she won’t even notice...😀 😀 😀
That’s certainly one approach.
But here are a few points to consider:
- She notices almost everything
- and then I’ll have complaints for the rest of my house life
- and usually, I can rely on her opinion regarding appearance and style
