 Provisions should be made so that the new windows can be installed in the new insulation layer. Front-wall mounting systems can be used for this purpose, such as those from Iso Chemie, Hanno and Illbruck. Another option is self-made hidden parts of the frame made of timber or hard insulation materials (such as CompacFoam, Purenit and similar products/ materials). The Passive House Institute is currently working on a certification scheme for such products.

 Covering the casement with insulation is an especially good way of reducing the installation thermal bridge (Figure 4). The reveal insulation can be used to close gaps; at the end where it meets the casement, a hose seal can be used to connect it to the casement. This approach considerably improves the thermal situation (Figure 5); in addition, the old window frame is now optimally protected from the weather, which can increase its service life considerably. This approach is only easy to implement on the side and top connections, however, because rainwater has to drain off the balustrades.

+==== 3.3 Shading/blinds ====
+Here again, the recommendation is to change darkening/shading in the first step for reasons similar to those given in Section 2.3. The roller shutter box can be installed directly on the front-wall mounting system. It is a good idea to have the slats roll to the outside; the guide rails are then farther out and do not have any significant thermal bridge effect. As much insulation as possible should be used between the roller shutter box and the window to reduce the thermal bridge. Alternatively, the composite window solution presented in Section 2.3 can also be used here.
