Transition between straight drywall and uneven plastered wall

[Henrik Svensson]

Hello everyone!
Since last fall, I have been involved in an extensive renovation on the upper floor where we have replaced everything (though in stages) - rafters, gables, installation of joists, roof, and so on.

When we were framing the interior wall on the upper floor against the staircase, the goal was, of course, to bring the gypsum board flush with the plastered wall. Unfortunately, we then realized that the plastered wall on the lower floor is uneven. Regardless, the wall needed to be made straight. Our goal was to set the stud with a 24mm spacing for 13mm gypsum + 11mm OSB, but it was very difficult to measure correctly.

Yesterday, when we opened up the stairwell even more, we received our judgement. At the far end (where we were supposed to have 24mm) it is 17mm (i.e., works with 11mm OSB and 6mm gypsum), in the middle 25mm but at the other end only 8mm. That is, the plastered wall is uneven.



Now to the question: How would you solve the transition between the gypsum coming down from the upper floor and the existing plastered wall?
OSB and gypsum and then plaster the wall down there?
Joining strip?
Another solution?

Addition: This winter, we plan to replace the staircase, tear down walls, etc., on the lower floor. So, if there is any sensible solution that will look nice in the long term, maybe this is an option?

Thanks in advance!

Wait until the stairs are torn down and fix the seam once everything is done.

Wait until the stairs are torn down and fix the joint once everything is ready.

Thank you for the answer, but how would you have solved the joint?

It depends on how the staircase will look. The most common approach is probably to cover the entire stairwell around with a full-covering panel/wood/whatever fits with the other parts, which resolves many issues with seams between floors. This provides a clear demarcation between the floors even if you happen to have the same type of wall on both floors, and if you have two different materials, you can choose whether it should be a soft transition or complement one of the floors.

Hello everyone!
Since last fall, I've been working on an extensive renovation of the upstairs where we've replaced everything (though in stages) - roof trusses, gables, floor joists, ceiling, etc., etc.

When we framed the interior wall upstairs against the staircase, the goal was, of course, to bring the plasterboard flush with the plastered wall. Unfortunately, we then realized that the plastered wall downstairs is uneven. Either way, the wall was supposed to be straightened. Our goal was to place the stud with a 24mm allowance for 13 plasterboard + 11 OSB, but it was very difficult to measure accurately.

Yesterday, when we opened up the stairwell even more, we got our verdict. At the far end (where we needed 24mm), it's 17mm (i.e., works with 11 OSB and 6mm plasterboard), in the middle 25mm, but at the other end only 8mm. In other words, the plastered wall is uneven.

Use gypsum plaster to finish the transition with

Tack för svar, men hur hade du löst skarven?
