Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
Just had new windows and the room skimmed. It's quite a good finish of plaster against the windows. Should I caulk before painting or just leave as is and paint upto the plastic?
If you have a clean crisp edge to work to you can just apply your paint, if however there are any gaps or voids you can use caulk and smooth back with a moistened finger.
If you apply paint without perimeter pointing the window you can often get cracking a few months down the line due to expansion/contraction of the window frame. You can use caulk and paint it or paint first and then point the frame with a low modulus silicone which will flex with the frame.
