Hello,

I'd like to plaster this wall above the stairs. But how can I cut the right angle on the plasterboard so that it fits? A template?

Grateful for all tips! ☺️

Hello,

I would like to drywall this wall above the stairs.
But how can I cut the right angle on the drywall so that it fits? A template?

Grateful for any tips! ☺️

Cutting a cardboard template is usually the easiest 😊

Maybe a bit advanced, but with a laser (alternatively a horizontal line on the wall using a spirit level), you could measure down from that line at each facade part of the panel or whatever you choose, then transfer it to the drywall and draw lines between the points.

Thanks! Sounds like the best idea.

I did the same at home. Took flooring paper, taped it to the wall. First, I measured it so it was taped straight on the wall. Then I cut along the stairs and got the angle, then placed the paper on the plasterboard.

Maybe it's easier with corrugated cardboard since it's a bit stiffer, but it might also be harder to get the angle to cut. With the paper, you can just let a little hang over and cut off the excess.
