Hello forum community,
We have purchased a new condominium that will be ready for occupancy in 2022. According to the construction specification, the ceilings and walls will be finely plastered (skim coated) and painted white in the third quarter. The additional application of painter’s fleece is not included and costs an extra €6.50 per square meter (approximately $7 per square foot).
Is this investment worthwhile? If so, does it make sense to apply painter’s fleece to all rooms or only to the hallway and the living/kitchen/dining area?
Since this will add up to a noticeable amount and we have no experience in this area, we rely on your collective knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

The question is: paint on plaster or paint on painter’s fleece. If you want to keep everything white, you can skip the painter’s fleece. But if you plan to repaint the walls or add color accents later, I would recommend using painter’s fleece in those areas. It’s simply to avoid having to scrape off paint remnants from the walls at some point in the future.
I would leave the ceilings plastered at level Q3. For the bedroom, living room, hallway, kitchen, and dining room, I would use painter’s fleece on the walls.
You described the cracks well. They can appear, and with fleece over them, they shouldn’t be visible.
I’m relieved that I don’t have to worry about such things anymore^^ (We had all walls and ceilings done with Q2 plaster + painter’s fleece + white silicate paint). Thank you for your opinion. At first, we want to keep the walls white. As often happens, tastes change over time. It might be that color accents or wallpaper will be added later. Does it make a difference—especially for wallpapering—whether painter’s fleece was applied beforehand?
We are considering having painter’s fleece applied before painting everywhere except the utility room and ceilings. We don’t want to spend money unnecessarily on things that don’t make sense, but we also don’t want to regret later not having done this or that.

Which silicate paint did you use?
