Hello,

I am new to the forum and would like to greet everyone.

We are currently having a semi-detached house built and are unsure about the wall covering. We were recommended paintable fleece wallpaper.

I have a question regarding its durability: How many times can paintable fleece wallpaper be painted over? Is it the same as with textured wallpaper?

Also, does paintable fleece wallpaper eventually become as easy to remove from the wall as standard non-woven wallpaper? What quantity would be needed for each option?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Markus

At Viebrockhaus, a cement screed mixed with Viebronol additive is used. This is intended to reduce water usage by 40%. It was noticeable as well; when I built with them 8 years ago, the house felt like a sauna after heating up, but now the humidity level is at 70% ten days after laying the screed.

Even with their miracle product (by the way, great name), the screed won’t have less than 2% residual moisture – yes, I’m an amateur, but how is that supposed to be possible after just 5 days?

EDIT: I just checked with them... but to me, it sounds more like marketing talk. However, I tend to be rather conservative...

Another EDIT: Okay, I give up . The original is called Retanol, and it binds the water very quickly. Pretty intense stuff

EveundGerd, which Komar photo wallpaper do you have, and could you possibly send me a picture of it? We are also considering a Komar photo wallpaper, but I’m afraid it might not look as nice

Sure. I’ll upload both here. Check online at the big A, where wallpapers are sometimes up to 50% cheaper than at hardware stores.

We chose wallpaper because it’s easy to remove and replace if we get tired of it. Also, different textures can shape the rooms, and you can use patterns or multicolored wallpapers. It really depends on personal taste.

For the hallway on the ground floor and the stairwell wall, we had a colored textured plaster applied (not painted). We really like this texture—it turned out better than I expected. That’s why we also used colored textured plaster in the shower bathroom.

At first, the plasterer was skeptical but later very impressed. The texture turned out very fine.

So I can recommend textured plaster as an alternative to wallpaper.

Great, and thank you very much in advance.
I appreciate any opinions and suggestions...
I’m looking forward to the pictures!!!

I really like the "Stone Wall" wallpaper from Komar!

At the moment, I am also leaning towards wallpaper on the ground floor because it is more durable, easier to clean, simple to remove, and will definitely save us time!

On the upper floor, we want to pre-treat the walls with fiberglass fleece and then paint. However, we also have drywall partitions on the upper floor.

I can’t really imagine what a textured paint coating would be like.
I am familiar with liquid wallpaper, which I also find very attractive! However, it is quite costly.

Unfortunately, the lime plaster was not cheap, and the workmanship by the plasterer wasn’t either. Still, we would make the same choice again.

Here are the promised pictures. I had to compress them first.


Bright room with colorful floral wallpaper and red carpet.

Living room with large city skyline wall mural behind sofa and shelf.

Living room with urban skyline wall mural, plant in white pot, and floor lamp.



We trimmed the New York wallpaper slightly. The floral wallpaper was applied at full size.

Wow, these look really great! I especially like the floral wallpaper!

Thank you for the pictures.
