Installing a basement interior door? Plaster?
I have arrived at the step of installing an interior door in a light concrete wall. I have chipped away all the old plaster so I have "bare" light concrete exposed.
What should I do with the plaster against the door frame? I have two options as I see it right now (there might be a couple of other options I don't see, as I am an amateur 😄
Option 1: plaster against the door frame and install trim. The frame is flush with the finished plastered wall.
Option 2: Install the door frame in the "middle" of the light concrete wall and plaster small "reveals."
Now I thought of a 3rd option myself...
Option 3: Like option 1 but without trim. Will the transition between wood and plaster hold? Without cracking?
How should I do it to make it look nice?

This is how mine looks. This is a door through the old exterior wall (extension)Haba_tsutt said:I have reached the stage of installing an interior door in a lightweight concrete wall. I have knocked down all the old plaster, so I have "clean" lightweight concrete exposed.
What should I do with the plaster against the door frame? I can see two options right now (there may be a couple of other options that I don't see, as I am an amateur 😄
Option 1: plaster against the door frame and mount trim. The frame, thus, in line with the finished plastered wall.
Option 2: install the door frame in the "middle" of the lightweight concrete wall and plaster small "reveals."
Now I came up with a 3rd option myself...
Option 3: Like option 1 but without trim. Will the transition between wood and plaster hold? Without cracking?
How should I proceed to make it look nice?
Maybe it can help you along the way...
