Hello
I have 2 new basement windows but they are slightly smaller than the previous openings. I'm currently plastering the inside. Is there any sensible solution to plaster above the window? I would prefer not to have a gypsum box that doesn't connect with the rest.
The outside is already plastered (unfortunately). There's some kind of plasterboard like EPS and plaster mesh.

oh well, if you then polish that, it shouldn't look strange, right? However, I don't know how to make the joint in the plaster so it doesn't crack, there should probably be some mesh there actually, but the wall is already plastered.
Was thinking if you would have had the plaster box right up and down. It didn't turn out nicely. Yes, if you can plaster it together, it might be okay, but as you say, especially with the seam. I suspect you have to knock down a bit of plaster and add some plaster mesh over there if so. But it still feels a bit prone to cracking?!MathiasS said:
Wouldn't it become "crack-prone" if you just apply a millimeter of plaster directly onto the wooden reveal?
Or how have you done it there?
What's the plan? Do you want the reveal in wood? And shouldn't it in that case follow the window all around?
