We are currently working on our terrace and now have the question of how to handle the connection to the patio door. In the picture, you can see the current condition....

Should insulation still be added here, if so where and how much?

Exterior window with black sealing at the foundation, next to loose soil and construction debris.

We installed our patio slabs just beneath the aluminum edge. It would have been possible to install a mesh in front to prevent water infiltration. However, my parents didn’t do this either, and there have been no issues in 20 years. Visually, I don’t find these elements very appealing, so we decided to leave them out.
So far, we haven’t had any problems. The roof overhang is about 50cm (20 inches). The slope was between 1.5% and 2%.
In my opinion, insulation is not necessary.
