| Abstract: | According to the German Association for Composite Thermal Insulation Systems, about 780 million m² of composite thermal insulation systems (ETICS) have up to now been installed in both existing and new buildings in Germany ? a trend that is set to continue. Correct window installation in ETICS with a permanent and functional connection to the building fabric requires architects, engineers and contractors to be familiar with the special details of this external wall system 1], 2]. However, experience from expert witness reporting has shown that this is frequently not so and that eliminating any defects subsequently is only possible at great expense. |
