Hello
Do you need plaster or wallpaper in the bathroom?
Our house will have "Q2 level finished walls" (outside made of sand-lime brick blocks, inside solid gypsum boards). In the bathroom, we have tiles up to 1.5 m (5 feet) high, and above that, we planned to paint. Now, a painter has offered a cost-effective solution to paint the walls just twice with a breathable dispersion paint, so without applying wallpaper or plaster in between (of course, these can be done for an additional cost). We understand that the surface finish won’t be as smooth as Q3 level finishing / plastering / wallpapering and then painting.
I’m just wondering if this approach is advisable in a "wet room" or if the masonry needs more protection than just 1–2 mm (0.04–0.08 inches) of paint.
Good luck
