Window and door corners should be reinforced with a traverse plaster netting. The Gesterm plaster netting should be 10 cm overlapped on the joints and junctions and embedded (approximately for 1-1,5 mm) into the surface before the plaster dries with the help of a trowel and close to the outher facades and the plaster surface should be smooth.
  • Thickness of the plaster should be approximately 4 mm after the application.
