Moonshine Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 On my timber outbuilding the windows and doors have just gone in and i have taped them for air tightness. My next challange is how to plasterboard the reveals to get a nice square edge. The board will need to be brought out to fill the gap to the frame. My thoughts are to screw the board to the timber and use packers to bring it out board to the require vetical. Once in fill the gap between the boards, then paper tape the right angle and them plaster. I have a laser level which should help getting things vertical.

Roundtuit Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I lined ours with some strips of 6mm ply before boarding to close the gap and get over the fixing brackets. You could double-board, depending on how much you need to make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that idea, this would allow slight variation in the timber without pissing about with packers and the screws will give an extra fixing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themucky1 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just fix the board to the timber reveal and foam fill. Personally I’d be more bothered about beading the reveal and getting your edges down to repaint, how come you didn’t wait until the windows were fitted to do the inside?
