Hello,

It would be really great if everyone here could just post one or a few pictures showing the current state of their house.

I'll start right away.

For renovations, it’s best to provide a comparison of before and after the remodeling.

Before March 2014:



After May 2015:

Yeah, totally normal! Window sills are visually quite a bold choice, you have to like that. Otherwise, when using masonry cladding on exterior walls, remember that it can affect airtightness before applying interior plaster. Either plaster the area beforehand or seal it with something else.

What humidity are you referring to? Please explain!
Actually, it wouldn’t really matter whether the masonry cladding is plastered or not, right?

By the way, this is one of the best-selling natural stones for interior window sills.

Typo... but the question remains the same!
What is the difference if the stud wall or the external wall is plastered?

If you install the toilet cistern on the front wall of an exterior wall and the area behind it is not plastered, you lose the airtight layer and air will flow through the cistern...

If, for example, you install the toilet cistern against the outer wall’s backup wall and there is no plaster on the back, you lose the airtight layer and drafts come through the cistern...

Yes, I basically understand and it would also make sense to me if there is no exterior plaster applied, right? I’m just asking because I want to understand it.

As in the photo above, the area behind the toilet cistern is covered with filler.

As far as I know, you need both layers for airtightness: exterior plaster and interior plaster... only together do they meet the regulations.

If there is filling or skim coating behind it, that is just as effective.
