Hello everyone,
I know that the sequence is usually chosen the other way around. However, I would prefer to have the screed installed first and then do the plastering. The reason is that I want flush skirting boards, and in my opinion, it is easier to achieve this if the screed is already in the building.
Is there any reason not to swap the order?
Thanks and best regards,
Micha

Hello,
the interior plaster not only serves to cover the bricks but also acts as an airtight layer to prevent air exchange. Therefore, I would avoid this on exterior walls since, up to the height of the screed, no plaster would be applied to the wall. For interior walls, it doesn’t matter. Alternatively, it is possible to apply a thin layer of plaster up to the top level of the screed to ensure airtightness beneath the screed. Thin-layer plaster only adds about 5cm (2 inches) in thickness, so you can still achieve a flush baseboard.

So you would suggest the usual approach then? That is, first interior plaster --> then screed.
In the area of the screed height plus the baseboard height, only use thin plaster and then apply the normal plaster thickness?
But that can’t be done so easily, right?
Or glue a plaster bead at the desired height, so the lower edge of the plaster bead matches the screed height plus baseboard height, and plaster thinly up to that point, then apply the normal thickness above?
