Plaster between wall and window?

[Rune p]

Hello

How do I cover around the window in the garage in a simple way?
Sure, it's just a garage but I want it to look good!
I'm considering drywalling around it and then using some V
shaped trim so that it creates a smooth edge all around?

Best regards

Plaster and a corner reinforcement all around maybe?

Saw a pre-painted MDF all around and it's done in 10 minutes.

Window frames are available ready-made in white, just cut and screw/shoot them in place with brads, just like Stefan N writes. A strip of latex between the window and the frame, as well as between the frame and the wall, can't hurt either.

The alternative is to strip MDF and paint if you have a tighter budget.

For example, these at Beijer Bygg: Fönstersmyg 16x100 Vit

Less work than drywalling and sanding corners...

Of course, it's a matter of taste, but I think it's much nicer with plaster in the reveal, a bit more work and maybe that's why it looks better in my opinion. I like MDF in window reveals as little as I like crown moldings.

Taste is like a behind and now it seems that TS has already painted the walls, so I wouldn't start filling in a corner on the walls and then have to bring out the paint can again - But maybe that's because I hate painting...

I was going to a tinsmith to bend white sheet metal that covers the jamb fireproof, ok acceptable appearance in a garage.

I have plastered all the window sills in both the house and the garage.
I first glued corner reinforcements with PL600 and then filled them.
Depending on how much space you have around the windows, you might need to place something between the plaster sill and the stud; otherwise, the plaster won't cover the soft joint/insulation/draft yarn.
I used 10mm chipboard behind the plaster sill.

Sure, it is more work, but also much nicer.

Glue? You should use the right tool for the right job!

Gyproc HSV Fastening Tool - Costs only around 2 grand!

I use Biltema's aluminum corners, after testing most of them in the last project, I've settled on them. Additionally, professional carpenters and painters I've talked to have recommended that I glue since the corners don't sit as securely with just that tool.

You can buy ready-made corners in 2.5-meter lengths that you can cut with scissors and then moisten with water so the glue on the back makes it stick until you plaster over the perforation or screw it in place, or similar. That's what I did, and it was easy as pie. I'm a newbie in construction, so maybe there are even simpler things to use. Regards
