How to neatly plaster up to Upvc window return

by Shezzle2024 » Sun Sep 15, 2024 10:20 am

We recently had our upvc windows replaced. We didn't like the old window Pvc window trim and wanted to plaster up to the window instead, so you'll notice the installer used a short Pvc strip for each of the returns for a plasterer to plaster up to. Some of the pvc returns have a clean rounded edge, and a couple are not. Do we need to take a different approach for plastering up against the rounded and then non rounded trim? Any thoughts on whether to use stop beads (kind of wish we'd just used a stop bead for the reveal too now). Finally some of the foam is set really far back (but definitely sealed), shall we apply more so it's completely flush with the plasterboard before we plaster, or can we just plaster straight into the deeper gaps?

Thanks
