Plastering not adequate

Hi I'm renovating my house and can see a few cracks on my walls, also is it normal to see the metal trims on the window? I feel like the plastering has been done very thinly

"Yes you should be able to see the metal corner, if you can see the metal wings then the plaster maybe a bit thin or sometimes the beads come a bit oily and burns through the plaster. Hope this helps."

"You should be able to see the metal edges of the bead and if it's old walls that is cracked get some filler if it's newly plastered walls could be settlement or mo scrim tape or not enough pva"

"Yeah! The cracks can be due to movement in the house. This could be strong winds or movement in the terrain.

In regards to the corner beads metal, this is totally normal. It is nice and sharp to have the edge cleaned up and any excess plaster if they have left any removed before painting.

Warm Regards,

Vic."
