Good evening,
a quick question:
Is it possible to apply the exterior plaster before the interior plaster?
Today, the roof framework was installed, and the windows will be delivered by the end of the week.
I would like to have the exterior plaster applied now so that the scaffolding can be removed afterward (of course, only if the roofer is finished by then).
The interior work will take a bit longer, as the plumbing company is on holiday.
To keep the scaffolding costs as low as possible (around 120€ per week), this is our idea.
From my research online, I only found that traditionally, the interior plaster was applied first and then the exterior, to allow moisture to escape better. However, nowadays the interior plaster can dry better with proper ventilation.
We used Poroton blocks 36.5cm (14.4 inches).
Thank you all.

Day and night, the windows were always tilted open.Ok, I’m a bit concerned about break-ins. The builders probably still have tools lying around.

The reasoning behind this: warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. Permanently tilting the windows causes too much heat loss, so short, intensive ventilation is much more efficient.
However, permanently tilting the windows can also be a solution if you don’t have the time or don’t want to ventilate regularly with short bursts.

What are they supposed to have there?
When the plaster and screed are done, nothing really happens at first, a pause.
So why would the tradespeople leave their tools there?That’s true as well. They’re hardly going to steal the plaster from the walls.

It’s midsummer. The air coming in even here in Schleswig-Holstein is about 20°C (68°F). A draft was never a bad idea.Yeah, let’s see how warm it actually stays. This summer has unfortunately been quite humid, at least here in the Rhineland.
