Good morning everyone,
First of all, thank you for welcoming me, and I hope to receive your constructive support 🙂
We are about to move into a newly built house, which will be handed over in Q2. I have found a relatively affordable plastering company.
Since it is a new housing development, unfortunately two others before me have already hired this company. Now, the company (a one-person operation) needs about 3-4 weeks for the job. This means I would have to wait almost 2 months. That is obviously frustrating since I can’t really do much without finished walls.
Now I’m wondering if it might be possible to lay the floors in advance and cover them properly.
The internet suggests using thicker milk carton paper (gray plastic sheeting), for example. Unfortunately, I have found very little experience regarding this. Otherwise, I could consider thick fleece or cardboard. My thinking is that the worker only applies relatively thin layers, so it shouldn’t cause a huge mess. Unfortunately, finding an alternative company is quite difficult. All other offers were significantly (at least 50%) more expensive. I would appreciate hearing about your experiences.
Best regards, S4z4

1. How is the screed decoupled from the wall if the screed is already installed?
2. Do you really believe that the plasterer won’t make any mess? 😀 From experience, I can tell you that the guys make the biggest mess.

So the flooring has already been purchased. Vinyl for the ground floor and laminate for the other levels.
And the reason I find this milk carton paper interesting is because it is waterproof.
Milk carton paper (protective cardboard) in the particularly heavy-quality PAP 65 is a double-sided gray laminated, extremely strong and dimensionally stable protective cardboard with high impact resistance and a basis weight of approximately 330–360 g/m² (10.9–11.9 oz/ft²). Due to the double lamination, the material used is extremely tear-resistant and impact-resistant. It lies flat on the floor without any tendency to curl. The milk carton paper (protective cardboard) is laid side by side in rolls or overlapped. The protective cardboard is fixed in place with cloth tape. It is ideally suited as an underlayment for scaffolding and as wall protection during concrete or screed pouring.

- cost-effective covering of large areas and pathways
- protects floors, carpets, stairs, tiles, etc. (e.g., from stains caused by liquids)
- removable and wipeable
- no adhesion of plaster/cement on the surface (PE coating)
- no negative curling tendency and no warping (dimensionally stable quality)
- quick and wrinkle-free installation (time-saving)
- puncture and tear resistant, lint-free, and easy to cut (cardboard)
- does not swell even when exposed to moisture (double-sided PE coating)
- reusable multiple times with long service life (cost saving)
- environmentally friendly (free from harmful substances)
- thermally disposable
- no color transfer

To be honest, I can't really tell you.
In my case, it's only about an update from Q2 to Q3, or fine skim coat.
I believe the decoupling was already done earlier by the developer. Ah, so just a little sanding, filling, sanding.
That’s obviously not a problem....
Arrrgh! That definitely can’t be called plastering.
So forget everything we said before.
Regarding covering, that sounds good. Just compare the prices. If it’s about the same or even cheaper than painter’s protective fleece, go for it. If it’s more expensive, I would use painter’s protective fleece, as you can also use it for moving furniture or similar purposes.
