Hi all,
We need to retrofit roller shutters. Only exterior-mounted roller shutters are possible now, which is fine. Unfortunately, we can’t avoid using a cable duct for the power supply.
There are two options suggested to extend the power supply from existing sockets to the exterior shutter box:
1) From inside the house, a hole is drilled next to the socket through the Poroton wall, including interior and exterior plaster. Then, from the outside, the cable is laid in a cable duct, which is mounted on the exterior wall and runs about 1.5 meters (5 feet) up to the box.
2) The cable duct is installed inside the house, with the cable running up inside it, and then the wall opening is made.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages to having the cable duct on the exterior façade, or are both options essentially the same and a matter of personal preference?
Thanks

Hmm, the external roller shutter already has side guide rails anyway. If the cable duct is the same color as the guide rail and is placed right next to it, it is hardly visible from the outside. I would always do it on the outside in case the option of chasing in the wall is not possible for some reason.
