The external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) is currently being installed on the construction site. The 10cm (4 inches) insulation boards have already been attached.
I plan to install a flush-mounted video door station. The device is about 5cm (2 inches) deep and weighs around 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds).
Question: Is it better to prepare for this installation now (and if so, how), or can it be cut out later without major problems?

Unfortunately, I can’t find one that fits the sizes. 100x220cm (40x87 inches) is too small...
This is the installation diagram I need

Take a closer look at Kaiser; the universal one should fit well.sysrun80 schrieb:
The width is fine. However, I need a length of 234mm (9.2 inches) 😕It’s the same with my outdoor installation; you can either install two brackets or drill new holes in the flush-mounted box accordingly. The bracket doesn’t have to be flush with the unit, it just needs to serve as a kind of “anchor.”
One more question:
Do I need to determine the installation depth in advance, or can I still adjust it after the plaster has been applied by adding or removing "rings"? I would initially set the base with a few "rings," cover it, and then complete everything to the correct depth later.
