daunker Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hi! Like many my windows are massively delayed. The plasterboard is going up but the plasterer doesn't want to skim any walls with window or door openings at all, because he says it will be impossible to get the reveals right, and also if the skim stops short it will be hard to patch in later and get a smooth finish, and will also be v likely to crack along join. I'm sure he's right but just wondering what others have done in this position, as I'm keen to press on with as much else as possible, decorating skirting flooring etc. Are there any hacks?

nod Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I’ve done this many times before Especially fast moving commercial TF If it’s traditional just lap the boards past 50 mil Then trim once the windows go in Weve just done a show home with no widows or casings and slimed the window walls to a taped edge 100 mil short of the edge The customers will pay me to send someone to plant the heads and reveals Then tape and joint Just leave the window walls in skimmed But you will have to pay him a couple of man days to come back and pick the window walls up 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
