ᐅ Retrofit Installation of a Roller Shutter in an External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS)

Hello everyone,
unfortunately, we did not install a roller shutter on one window and would like to add one now. Thanks to permanent home office, the room is now being used differently than originally planned and therefore needs darkening for the summer.
The roller shutter box to be installed is 14x14cm (5.5x5.5 inches), and the external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) is 17cm (6.7 inches) thick. My idea was to cut out exactly this 14x14cm (5.5x5.5 inches) section from the ETICS above the window and then install the roller shutter box in this space. This would leave about 3cm (1.2 inches) of ETICS remaining, and I wouldn’t have to do anything on the facade. Essentially, this is the same setup as with the other roller shutters.
Is this a reasonable approach? Or would this cause significant issues regarding insulation or thermal bridging? THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE 😀
Here is a schematic of my plan:

Well, not really expensive. Around €200 for a roller shutter plus motor seems quite reasonable to me for a permanent solution. I can install it myself. Stylish clamp-on options like those from Blinos, for example, are definitely more expensive?!
What do you mean exactly? The box is placed on the rails first and then simply pushed up into the cavity from below. Then the rails are screwed in place. Well then, good luck! Please share photos of the result.
