Reveal around front door & baseboard?

[Hamstraren]

Hello

How do you make it look nice here?
It's a room in a garage with an exterior door.

For plasterboard against the concrete wall, skirting is what's needed, right.
What do you do on the other side where the plasterboard doesn't go all the way down?
What about the lower part of the door? Around the door, will there be trim and casing like around windows?

Thanks.

Hi

Drywall against the concrete wall requires a baseboard.
What do you do on the other side where the drywall doesn't go all the way down?
How do you handle the lower part of the door? Around the door, is there a reveal and casing as you do around windows?

Thanks.

A baseboard covers that. You might need to add some spacer so the baseboard has something to rest against. In my garage, there are boards as baseboard
Either you do as you described around windows. Or you can also cover the side with drywall. But drywall is more fragile, so a reveal and casing can withstand more bumps.

Why not reach suitable klinkers?

Is the drywall wall directly against the concrete floor?

A baseboard covers that area. You might need to add some spacers so that the baseboard is supported by something. In my garage, there are boards used as a baseboard
You can either do as you described around the window or cover the side with plasterboard. But plasterboard is more fragile, so trim and casing can withstand more impact.

Thanks.

Not only plasterboard but even MDF will take damage there, high-traffic door.
I think I'll use white-painted planed wood and nail it there as trim. Then a baseboard between the floor and the bottom trim.

But how do you handle the gap between the plasterboard and the floor in image 1?

Is the plasterboard wall directly against the concrete floor?

In picture 1 yes, on the other side of the garage no.

There are two different walls: picture 2 interior walls. picture 1: exterior walls.

I think I'll go with white-painted planed wood and nail the stuff there as trim. Then a baseboard between the floor and the bottom trim.

But what do you do with the gap between the plasterboard and the floor in image 1?

How big is the gap?

 

[Hamstraren]

Why not reach appropriate tiles?

Tiles where? Image 1?

 

[Hamstraren]

How big is the gap?

+- 6.5cm

Tiles where? Image 1?

By the door I thought.

 

[Hamstraren]

At the door, I thought.

Tiles as casing and threshold? Or around the entire door?

Tiles as trim and threshold? Or around the entire door?

was thinking skirting since it was mentioned first. Missed that it was about several different things.

+- 6.5cm

Have 90mm plank as a baseboard in my garage
Otherwise, it can be solved with a regular baseboard as long as you place spacers behind so that the baseboard has something to rest against. Be sure to seal the space from the outside, otherwise there's a risk of mouse trails behind there

Why build in this way to start with? Why is there a 6.5cm gap between the wall and the concrete floor?

 

[Tompafix]

Why do they build this way to begin with? Why is there a 6.5cm gap between the wall and the concrete floor?

Yes, good question. The gypsum shouldn't rest against the concrete slab anyway. I thought you were the one who built it this way, so I didn't think to ask why you did it this way
