Adam26aHello everyone,
I have a prefab house from Hanse Haus, which has the following exterior wall structure, see attachment as well:
OSB board with thermal insulation
150 mm (6 inches) thermal insulation (EPS rigid foam)
11 mm (0.4 inches) brick slip cladding
Now I would like to attach exterior lamps, the mailbox, or similar items to it. For example, I found Fischer TherMax 8/140 M6 screws. Unfortunately, for these I would first need to drill a standard 10 mm (0.4 inch) hole and then drill an 18 mm (0.7 inch) hole through the brick slips for the cover cap (ADK).
Do you think this is a reasonable approach or is there a better alternative?
