Shadow gap / Shadow gap thick plastered interior walls

[vibyggerhus]

Hello all wise ones!
We are looking to create a shadow line at the junction between the floor and the wall. Does anyone know how this is done? What we are thinking might work is to lay the floor first and then mount an angle profile 5 mm above the floor and plaster against it. Gratefully accepting tips!

Excuse the off topic, but doesn't it become very easy for the wall to get damaged when the plaster goes to the floor, for example when vacuuming?

Hence the aluminum or steel profile that is placed at the bottom. Similar to a corner bead for a drywall.

Sure, it will certainly be sensitive, but we'd like to have it that way and hope it will work. If it turns out it doesn't work, you can always mount a baseboard on top.

Do you happen to have any tips on a profile that can be used for this?

How thick were you planning to plaster?

How thick were you planning to plaster?

We are going to plaster about 12 mm

Then the ones intended for drywall should work. Like Trim-Tex. Unfortunately, I don't know who sells in Sweden.

5 mm is too poor a distance. 10-15 mm is needed to achieve the desired effect. With 5 mm, it looks as if it is sloppily built.

Då borde väl dom som är avsedda för gipsväggar fungera. Typ Trim-tex. Vet inte vem som säljer i Sverige tyvärr.

Hadn't considered that these could work. Found them at a reasonable price on several sites online. Time to buy and try plastering!

5 mm is too small of a distance. It needs 10-15 mm to achieve the desired effect. With 5 mm, it looks like it's poorly built.

You might be right about that. 10 mm is probably more appropriate.

@vibyggerhus How did it go with the shadow molding? Did it look nice?

I would also have liked to know the result and where you bought the listen?
