Drywall versus window framing

[koskar]

Hi!

I'm in the process of putting renovation gypsum over old Treetex, and I'm not quite sure how to make it look nice against the window framing (is that what it's called?), since the gypsum doesn't end up level..


Is there possibly someone who has a good idea on how I can solve this, or is it just to put a new "framing"? :|

Thanks!

I finished the plastering where you would normally seal, placed a molding on the frame to get the right depth. In other words, don't extend the plaster to the edge. I don't think you can ever get it looking nice.

Thank you, so a list with the same thickness as the plaster all around?

If you are going to put molding all around, then the strip can be a few mm thicker without it being noticeable.

Thank you for the response!

Alternatively, you place a narrow piece of plasterboard in the window reveal and plaster the outer corner that forms. Then reinforce the corner with a plastering strip. Then apply a soft sealant where the plasterboard transitions to the window framing strip.

There are also ready-made klackfoder that have the extra edge

If the clock cases had really worked, wouldn't there be a pretty weird edge against the smygen then? Does anyone know where you can find thin moldings?

The detailed finish as it was 100 years ago with mitered moldings hardly exists today, I have a feeling that moldings have been almost entirely optimized away in many cases... If the requirement is just to cover a gap without much finesse, various types of trim should work... The big question is to find a solution that harmonizes with the other windows...

When we fixed the walls at home, we did exactly as many others have already written. Removed the moldings, plastered, put in a reveal strip, and then reattached the moldings. Never ever thought it would look strange.

Afraid I don't quite understand, is it a plaster edge you have on the outside or is it a trim? Since it's renovation plaster I'm putting on, the trim might end up crooked since any possible molding against the window framing will build much more than what the plaster does..?

What you see is the smyglist. The drywall ends where you pack around the window. I also have renovation drywall, I think it builds 6 mm, right? The list is 8 mm. The small possible gap that may appear is painted over to make it invisible.
