Hello!
I'm building a cabin with the help of a material package from a house manufacturer. Slab on ground.
They have supplied 900x2500 gypsum boards generally. At the bathroom, we lowered the casting height about 25 mm in the bathroom due to floor leveling and threshold level. Wall according to Säker Vatten with 15 plyfa. It was mounted with a gap from the floor. The ceiling was plastered and then the walls. In our haste, we lifted the gypsum to the ceiling and realized afterward that there will be up to 50 mm from the bottom edge of the gypsum to the recess. The most we can spackle is just over half of that. What is the most practical and also, of course, the most durable solution? Gypsum/cement mortar? Supplement with a strip of plyfa and gypsum at the bottom? There isn't much to screw into since the base is on the concrete above the recess. The best for the waterproofing might have been to lower the gypsum to the floor and supplement with a strip at the top but, oh well.
Another question; do you usually protect the base, plyfa, and gypsum with plastic foil or similar considering moisture from the self-leveling compound?
Would appreciate some input
Best regards

Yes, that might be the most convenient. However, there will be a major seam just above the floor angle, but you have seams regardless behind the waterproof layer.H huggan said:
Any experience with protecting the timber against the filler?
