Hello everyone,

I have a question – how was the window frame connected to the reveal on the inside in your case? For us, it was done with acrylic sealant, but unfortunately, it is now cracking around the front door and sliding patio door. It’s not a major problem, but it doesn’t look very neat either.

Good luck

I like the idea – I’ll remember it for my next house ;-)

Well, it’s a matter of opinion whether this belongs in new construction – the solution looks good but is also more complex.

For us, this is the only proper approach and our window manufacturers do not use any other method.

We had it done the same way when replacing our windows in an older building.

Just paint over it and that’s fine...

Not fine at all... have you ever seen how that looks? I definitely don’t want that!

What does that have to do with the window manufacturer?

And of course, I have already seen it – it looks good when done correctly.

Honestly, it doesn’t look too serious... In terms of trade, I would probably assign this to the plasterer and then the painter, right?
Couldn’t you just glue the decorative molding on afterwards?

Yep, I would agree with that for this trade (plasterer).

It’s not possible to apply it afterwards because it needs to be embedded in the plaster.

For the exterior plaster, we have it as well; not on the interior. I don’t see any cracks or any imperfections on my walls.

The plaster stop bead is straightforward; however, you can also do it with a self-adhesive strip (not that I want to—just the idea).
