Dear community,
A question that probably many have had before – but I still haven’t found a solution or answer to:
Is it possible to install the roller shutter box slightly higher (see photos), or is that not feasible due to structural stability or insulation reasons?
The goal is to have windows as tall as possible and to avoid the approximately 30 cm (12 inches) height loss caused by the roller shutter boxes. The rough construction height is 2.75 m (9 ft), so the net height is about 2.60 m (8 ft 6 inches). The windows should ideally extend as close to the room height as possible.
Are there other solutions besides the less visually appealing exterior-mounted box system?
Many thanks for your experienced advice!
Best regards and happy building and living!

You will never fit a Venetian blind for windows taller than 220cm (87 inches) into an 18cm (7 inch) casing.
