ᐅ Plaster stop bead at the window, cracks in the sealing lip

Created on: 5 Aug 2016 11:30

Hello User,

I have noticed the following on our house:
At the finished plastered windows, there is a small white rubber strip lying vertically on the window frame.

This strip has now torn in several places on some of the windows...

Is this already considered a major defect? Keyword: protection against rain/driving rain/water?

Or is this still acceptable?

I will upload photos.

Best regards and have a nice Friday to you all

I haven’t seen the contractor all week. How should this be fixed? Silicone sealant?

Sealing compound. Whether it is silicone or something else depends on the materials used. This should not be a major issue. How well it ultimately looks is another matter. However, what is important to me is that the sealing is effective.

I received a reply from the manufacturer of the plaster trim (whether you can trust that or not...): It is not visually acceptable, and such interruptions should be avoided, or if necessary, only in the upper area.
However, the seal is ensured by the adhesive strip on the underside; the lip is mostly for appearance. (just in case anyone notices this on their house)
Best regards
