Seal between door frame and plastered facade?

[jacobk]

Replaced an old exterior door yesterday that was in place before the house's facade was plastered, and the plaster overlapped the old door frame.

After adjusting the new door, unfortunately, there is a ~1cm gap between the outside of the frame and the plaster (see picture, the old door might not have been perfectly straight).

How can I best get rid of the gap between the frame and the painted plaster?

If possible, drive, then a suitable seal that absorbs movement and meets outdoor requirements.

If the gap is deep, use a backer rod, then outer sealant

I've seen that sometimes sand is applied to the joint right after grouting, then any paint adheres well and becomes more like the plaster.

Thank you for the answers! I was wondering how it works to grout against plaster since it is relatively porous.

Is there a specific type of grout I should look for?

I think this one will be good,

Also check the bottningslist. Less risk of the joint cracking if it has some elasticity in the middle.

where have you seen that?

I have seen it, among other places, on façade joints at my in-laws who live in a relatively newly built apartment.
Here Bostik mentions it, https://www.bostik.com/globalassets...technical-data-sheet/p0009_pu_2637_se_tds.pdf

well. we should not use isocyanates.
there is an acrylic product with sand in it, but not available in Sweden as far as I've seen
