Unlike new construction in Germany where the shutter box is hidden inside the brick wall (Aufsatzkasten), American homes are usually built with wood-frame construction and have existing windows. The easiest, most cost-effective way to get German shading in the US is the Vorbaukasten. The box is simply mounted on the outside of the window or facade, meaning no major structural changes to your walls are necessary.
