Because of the rain I decided not to cut the other 3 windows, on the right side. Instead I focussed on the insulation of the wall with the existing 3 windows, then added the final panelling.
This is how it looks:
Using some small curtains which I had, I tried to give it a cosy look. But the center curtain is a bit too short. Need to get three curtains of the same kind.
These were the steps when adding the insulation:

The wall after the windows had been installed. No insulation yet. |

The wall after adding the initial 3cm thick Styrofoam plates. |

Filling the gaps with smaller Styrofoam pieces and with mineral wool. |

Then adding a 1cm thick Styrofoam plate to cover the gaps between the horizontal wooden bars. |
![]() |
Then adding a plastic foil, as an air / humidity barrier. This is necessary to avoid internal condensation of the humid inside air at the cold outside metal walls. |

Then adding the GrossFillex wood imitation panelling. |
My neighbor Manfred scolded me for initially using nails to affix these panels. He gave me a set of narrow wood screws and an electric drill, so now the panels are attached with his screws onto the wooden bars.
