ᐅ Installation: Antenna Mast Mounted on House Exterior with External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS)

Unlike our electrician, we would prefer not to install the satellite dish on the roof of our soon-to-be-built new house. On one hand, external lightning protection would be required there, and on the other hand, our electrician wants to charge us over 2,000 euros for the dish, mast, grounding, multiswitch in the attic, and installation. Since we only have one antenna connection in the living room, I find these costs quite high. IPTV is unfortunately not an option because we are located in the part of the village where the telecom company apparently ran out of fiber optic cables (our neighbors have 250 Mbit/s, the next apartment building has 1 Gbit/s).
There is now the possibility to install the satellite system on the east facade, through a window in the loft, at the perfect angle and with a clear view of the satellite. Since we are building with external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS / external wall insulation), I am wondering what the best mounting solution would be.
When searching online, I came across various options. In my opinion, the best were mounting blocks or heavy-duty brackets. Has anyone had experience with the mounting blocks from different ETICS manufacturers? Or with heavy-duty brackets from Sto or Dosteba? The dish will not be very heavy (planned to be either a DigiDish 45 or an 80 cm (31.5 inches) dish), but it should also not suddenly fall on our heads in strong winds.
Or do you have a completely different suggestion on how to mount the dish on the facade with minimal thermal bridging?

Ours were delivered by Dosteba GmbH, semi-finished products for ETICS, Reutlingen.Okay, I found on the Dosteba website what you meant. I knew these cylinders as rectangular blocks. Something like that is what I had in mind. Good to know that you don’t have to drill into the masonry for this. I will take a closer look at the datasheets, especially regarding the maximum shear force.guckuck2 schrieb:
There are mounting baskets in the ETICS system. But you have to act before installing the ETICS.Yes, I had seen those components as well. They can withstand several kN with respect to tensile and shear forces.Thanks for the tips so far. So at least my idea wasn’t completely off track.
