Shadow joint around the perimeter prevents cracks
The implementation of the attic and plasterboard puts emphasis on many details to avoid the formation of cracks. And rightly so. Many of our customers have taken advice from us, and send us photos of this reference, which makes me very happy. This is and also about one object in the east of Slovakia.
Profiles used
The customer used the profiles to create the shadow spars:
- Tape for plasterboard TUFF TAPE PROTEKTOR width 51 mm (marcus.sk)
- Shadow Spar for light ramp (marcus.sk)
- Termination profile for wooden beams, 6 mm spar width – 3,05 m (marcus.sk)
Gallery from the realization
What to do when cracks appear?
An excellent way to prevent cracks in the drywall and plaster connection is to use EDGE TAPE and here we have a guide from PROTEKTOR with using EDGE TAPE
It’s simple. You put the tape on the putty on the plastered wall and then sand it. This creates a joint where a fine joint can be painted over with acrylic putty. For more hope, see the video at the end of this article. https://youtube.com/shorts/w0PTuKFF9kQ?feature=share
