How to extend a brick wall with a uniform plaster surface without soft joints?
I have a wall of aerated concrete that I want to extend by 25-30cm.
What materials should I choose to continue with the plastered structure without getting cracks or needing to use soft joints?
I'm considering wooden studs - plywood - drywall - plaster, but I'm wondering if it might be a bad idea to mix organic and mineral materials and if that risks cracking? There's a raised floor with underfloor heating underneath, so masonry is not an option.
What do you think - should I choose other materials or am I worrying unnecessarily?
