We received the following offer for our single-family home – is this quality sufficient, or should we pay extra for Q3? Or is it acceptable if Q2 is painted twice?
"All interior wall surfaces of the brick masonry will receive a skim coat of lime gypsum plaster. The walls in wet rooms will be finished with a lime-cement plaster. Corner protection strips will be installed on external edges and reveals. Movement joints will have movement profiles. Interior plaster surface quality Q2. The ceilings in the living areas will be fully and securely filled. Wall and ceiling surfaces will receive a two-coat opaque dispersion paint finish in white."

I just want to point out that most dispersion paints nowadays already contain a silicate component. I have silicate paint myself, but I’m not sure if I would choose it again... However, my house is extremely dry, so it’s hard to judge. Dispersion paint is definitely easier to apply.

Elias_dee21 Jul 2022 08:45Good morning, I have received the datasheets for the two paints. The colors in question are:
Emulsion paint: Brillux Malerweiß ELF 956
Silicate paint: Brillux Profisil 1906
The datasheet for the emulsion paint states: "according to its diffusion behavior, comparable to interior silicate paints, it corresponds to Class I according to DIN EN ISO 7783."
--> Is the additional cost for the silicate paint really worth it? (€1400 net)
Thanks in advance for a brief assessment!

I would rather invest the money elsewhere. The additional cost is steep. How many square meters was it again, 1400?About 200 m² (2150 sq ft) of area... yes, exactly 1400 € net is the extra cost for that.
