Hello everyone,
we bought a house from a developer and now the drywall work is finished.
I noticed that the joint between the wall and the gypsum board ceiling (on the upper floor) varies greatly.
I hope the pictures make this clear.
The construction description states, among other things: All interior wall and ceiling surfaces will be prepared for wallpapering. The joint between the masonry and the gypsum boards is to be sealed with acrylic as part of the painting work, done by the owner.
Now my question is whether the drywall work has been carried out properly and if the joint in the wider areas (up to 1 cm) can be easily sealed with acrylic.
Or if it possibly needs to be filled first, because how is the acrylic supposed to hold like that? In my opinion, there shouldn’t be any gap between the masonry and the gypsum board, or am I completely wrong here?
Thanks in advance!
