Hello everyone,
Are both paintable wall liner and plastering equally suitable for a new build, or is there anything to consider?
Are there significant cost differences between paintable wall liner and plastering?
I would appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Ok, that actually sounded the other way around.
However, just using painter's fleece isn’t enough, because you still need to apply paint. Hiring a painter will cost you roughly the same amount again. Even if you plan to do it yourself, good paint is expensive, while cheap paint just means more work and frustration.

Folks, some incredible prices are being mentioned here. What was actually paid in August 2017: 108 sqm (1163 sq ft) house: 3600 for labor, 3000 for materials. So roughly 61.00 per sqm (5.67 per sq ft). What was done? Walls and ceilings were plastered (drywall ceilings) using Sto filler, two coats, with joint tape applied. Primer applied. Corners glued with molding strips. Everything was painted twice with Sto Basic, partly tinted. Also, StoSil used in some areas.
Bathroom, guest toilet, kitchen walls covered with fiberglass mesh and two coats of latex paint from Sto. Screed leveled with self-leveling compound. Vinyl flooring glued down, baseboards installed from Döllken. Who did this? Two professionals.
Where did I find them? By keeping my eyes and ears open.
Surely, you also have skilled tradespeople or small one-person businesses who want to do some work after hours... and won’t rip you off. (Dear Netflix generation, this is possible but not online) K.

However, painter’s fleece alone is not enough, you still need to apply paint on top. At the painter’s, that will cost you about the same additional amount. Even if you want to do it yourself, good paint costs money, and cheap paint just means more work and frustration.No, the point was about the additional cost of painter’s fleece, and I already mentioned that price. We don’t do anything ourselves. Our construction decoration team (that’s what they call themselves) performs the following tasks:
– Painter’s scaffold, external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), fire protection strips, reinforcement + topcoat including primer, leveling, exterior
– Wood cornice glaze… so all exterior work on the house
– Interior: primer, corner protection beads, window reveal trim, mesh in crack-prone areas, installation chases, gypsum plaster, cement plaster in the bathroom, filling ceiling joints (concrete ceiling)
– Drywall work
– Painting work: primer, filling to Level 3 finish, painter’s fleece, dispersion paint coating (1900€): Overall, we pay €8,500 net for the complete painting work.
