Bought an apartment and tore down the interior wall towards the kitchen to open it up. The wall looks like it's made of leca/light concrete(?) that is plastered. Now to my dilemma on how the heck I should fix this so that it becomes even, nice, and durable? Is it enough to build up layers with something like gypsum plaster and use some corner protection? Considering framing up on the right side towards the kitchen and the ceiling for support, but it doesn't work on the other side because the wall needs to be smooth towards the kitchen and I prefer not to tear down more to avoid making it worse. Any good tips??
 
  • A partially demolished interior wall in a kitchen renovation, exposing underlying concrete blocks. Dust and debris are visible, along with a vacuum cleaner.
  • Damaged interior wall with exposed concrete, showing a partially demolished section. Visible shelves in the background with tools and materials.
  • Partially demolished interior wall with exposed concrete blocks and electrical wiring, showing patchy plaster and paint in a kitchen renovation project.
  • Damaged plaster on an interior wall corner, with exposed lightweight concrete or leca blocks, showing cracks and an uneven surface.
  • Close-up of a partially demolished interior wall, possibly made of concrete or plaster, next to a window. Wall shows rough, unfinished edges.

The best mortar for lightweight concrete is Finjas Laga vägg since you can build thick layers and it's more durable than gypsum plaster, which is quite soft in outer corners.
 
  • Bag of Finja Laga Vägg wall repair plaster, 15 kg, suitable for building thick layers and more durable than gypsum plaster for outer corners.
