Hello everyone

I am new to the forum and I am impressed with everything you can read here. We are building a bungalow with a double garage. We got the house from a prefab house manufacturer and the garage will be built by ourselves. I have mostly finished the masonry work. My question now is what I should plaster my reveals and lintels with before the windows are installed.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Alex

I would do the exterior plaster after the windows and usually no interior plaster in a garage - what are you building the walls from?

The garage is built with Poroton bricks. My question does not relate to the interior or exterior plaster, but only to the reveals and lintels. I have already seen several times that the reveals were plastered before the installation of the windows and doors. My assumption is to even out the unevenness.

Do you mean the smoothing that is done inside the house to create a flat surface so that the window sealing tape can be glued on? It shouldn't matter in a garage, as long as it is not insulated, whether it is 100% airtight? Or am I wrong?

Exactly what I mean. It doesn't have to be 100% airtight, of course, since the garage is unheated. I just want to have it done properly. But if it's only about attaching the sealing tape here, then I can save myself the work, right?

Oh, putty, not plaster. For a garage outside the thermal envelope, I wouldn’t be picky even about the sealing tape. Cars don’t catch colds.
