Round window - dissatisfied with the interior reveal

Hello everyone,

we are currently having the interior cleaned.

We have two windows in the attic gable with rounded tops and straight bottoms. The upper rounding turned out great with a piece of curved plaster edge and looks good plastered.

In the hallway, we have a round window with a raw construction diameter of 1 meter. When I was there yesterday, the plaster edge had probably already been inserted into the first smoothing - you can see that it often makes more "kinks" than a curve and at the bottom, where the two ends probably overlap, it is rather straight than round. This morning they were just applying the second interior plaster layer, you could see the small kinks less, but overall the interior reveal is simply not really round, the circle looks tighter at the bottom than at the top and, in my opinion, the distance of the interior plaster from the window frame is by no means uniform. It was so loud and dusty because of the machine that I couldn’t make a final judgment, and the plasterer was still saying something about what else they would do - maybe I can take a photo late in the evening when the dust has settled.

Do I even have a chance to request corrections if necessary? There are those notorious "tolerances"... Can someone tell me something about that? The round window is an eye-catcher; I find it ugly if it is done so carelessly. In old houses, such reveals often look much more professional to me, the masonry was also better done there. In our case, the rounding was only made with styrofoam, our building expert did not criticize this, however. The gable windows were built with masonry! (There were different masons on the construction site...) Is it because of this styrofoam thing? Or the plaster edge used? If I knew better how to do it well, I could argue better. Otherwise, the killer argument will be again that it couldn’t have been done any other way...

If you have photos of interior reveals of round windows, I would be happy, then I could show my general contractor that others do it better.

Thanks for your effort

Now with photo

I have no idea about round windows and plaster edges and reveals, but I wouldn't accept that.

Thank you! You confirm for me that this is conspicuously bad.

You don't need to ask about tolerances; this has to be redone!

Rhenish greetings from the road

You really seem to be a very kind person, I would like to have you as a neighbor
If something like that had been delivered on my construction site, there would be one plasterer less now...
