ᐅ Plastering the underside of a carport

Hello,

we want to plaster the underside of our carport as well. The battens are made of wood, and plaster carrier boards are to be installed. Which boards are most suitable for this? Soft fiberboard? Our builder is a bit concerned that the plaster might crack. I have often read that eaves are also plastered. Isn't that basically the same principle?

Hard fiberboards plus render carriers are definitely necessary; otherwise, it will really crack. But why use render? For a carport, wouldn’t traditional wooden panels be the usual choice?

It is a brick-built carport that is integrated into the house. Therefore, the same appearance should be maintained throughout.

Fibreboards and plaster carrier boards are available, for example, from Steico.

Would you have a construction sketch?

For the transition to the masonry part, relevant manufacturers such as Sto offer expansion profiles.

This was done in our case: The upper wooden house insulated with wood fiber, transitioning to the perimeter insulation on the concrete. So far, no cracks.
