Hello colleagues,
Our house will be plastered next week, and by then, three corners on the house need to be filled.
The window frame is made of aluminum, the roller shutter boxes are plastic, and above them, insulation made of styrofoam is installed.
Gluing Styrodur (extruded polystyrene) might work, but it cannot be adhered directly to aluminum because of too much movement. The only possible solution would be to attach a chipboard panel and then glue or screw the desired corner onto it. The question is, does anyone here have experience with how these corners may be filled?
Are there perhaps any technical drawings showing the correct method for this? I would appreciate your suggestions.
Photos of the window are attached. In one photo, the corners have already been filled with Styrodur but had to be removed due to the movement around the aluminum. The second photo shows the corner that needs to be filled.
Thank you in advance for your advice on this window issue.

So, I just spoke with the window manufacturer. You are allowed to screw in 1 cm (0.4 inches) from the outside or inside. Why is it your responsibility to find a solution there? That should be the job of the hired professionals, such as the architect and the contractors.
