Plastering corner different levels

[Aircooledmatt]

Hi all,

I have recently taken an internal door frame out and have put some wooden uprights in its place with a view to tiling the brick wall. On the plaster/hall side I want to plaster level with the wood, but one face of the corner will need to be thick and the other thin.

If anybody has some ideas I would appreciated it as I'm at a loss of how best to do this to get the corner looking right as beads only seem to have the same width each side. I have included a couple of pics.

Thanks,

Matt.

Are you just plastering up to the timber, and not over it.
If so, how do you intend to finish the timber off?
As I would generally plaster up to timber then expect some kind of timber moulding to tidy the work up.

There are thin coat beads that have a stopped end, if that helps.

I am unsure, what you are trying to achieve, so sorry I can not elaborate any on resolving your issue.

Hi and thanks for your reply, it is much appreciated. I intend to plaster up to and level with the timber and then finish the join with a nice, thin and shaped piece of timber.

My main issue is that up to the wood, on the wall the plaster needs to be about 4cm deep, but around that corner of the wall it just needs a skim. I am therefore unsure of the best way to achieve this as a mesh bead wouldn't work due to the significant differences in thickness of plaster required. Could i just put a piece of wood on the corner, plaster the deep side up to it and then, when it's dry, put the mesh bead on the corner and skim both faces around each corner of the wall (hope that makes sense!)?

Sorry for the pics, they are on their side!

Thanks again,

Matt.

I wouldn't use mesh angle beads, but thin coat beads.

3mm is the standard depth required when skim finishing.
You can always apply a bit of plaster/adhesive behind the bead to bring it out to flush and leavl it to set, before working on the skim.
