ᐅ Exterior or interior roller shutters in new construction?

Hello everyone,

I am currently wondering whether I should choose exterior or interior roller shutters.
For interior shutters, I would only consider those with an access panel on the outside. I want to avoid having to break the plaster inside the room for repairs.
It used to be said that there would be significant thermal bridges if you don’t use roller shutters mounted on the exterior facade.
What is the current situation?

Thank you for your answers.

The physics hasn’t changed so far... but it’s more or less a matter of philosophy... since both have advantages and disadvantages...

Could you perhaps briefly summarize the pros and cons for me? The physics certainly haven’t changed, but the insulation and the enclosures have.

Why an access panel on the outside? Our roller shutter boxes are mounted on the window – so they form a single unit with the window – and can be opened from below; this is more or less standard with most manufacturers. However, these openings should of course neither be covered with wallpaper nor concealed with plaster.

Outside, because this way there won’t be any issues with sealing the inspection hatch. Also, of course, because then I can do whatever I want on the inside.

The wall box that was shown to me is fully closed and insulated on the inside.

Why should there be any insulation problems if the inspection opening can be accessed from inside and below the roller shutter box? It’s actually the other way around, since if you ever need to access it, plaster and insulation would have to be removed.

Why would you want to do that?

Then you should ask to see window units with an attached roller shutter box. Attached you will find explanatory images; the inspection box on the window opens from below (it can also optionally open from the front).
