Installing Windows & Doors After Plastering
As promised, let’s talk about installing windows and doors after plastering.
This approach is often blamed for tight fittings and compromised installations — but the real issue is usually when fabrication happens, not the method itself.
Problems arise when windows are fabricated strictly from architectural drawings, without verifying the final plastered opening sizes on site.
Plaster thickness, uneven dressing, and site tolerances can easily reduce openings, leading to:
⚠ Tight or forced installations
⚠ Alignment challenges
⚠ Compromised performance
However, when final site measurements are taken after plastering and dressing, many of these risks disappear.
✅ Clean finishing
✅ Accurate fabrication
✅ Proper fitting without stress
👉 The key takeaway:
The problem is rarely when you install — IT'S WHEN YOU MEASURE.
Good glazing is about coordination, not shortcuts.
