Hello everyone,

The plasterer will start with our project soon, so we need to decide what we want.

Ceilings:
What would you recommend? Skim coated or paintable fleece? The costs are the same.

Plaster:
For the "public areas," we were recommended decorative quartz plaster. That sounds good to us.
Less important rooms like the dressing room, pantry, etc., I would like to have finished with Q3 plaster and painted. Now the architect raised the concern that this might not work because cracks could develop.

Has anyone had this setup for several years and can share their experience?

Best regards and thanks for the feedback

Fleece ceiling coverings are better. Cracks always occur where rigid materials meet elastic ones, for example, a stone wall meeting a drywall ceiling with a wooden frame. You can never fully avoid them, but you can conceal them with a molding strip, which is what we did. On our bedroom wall, a crack appeared that runs from the light switch up to the ceiling. It is a filled cable groove where moisture evaporated from the filler, causing it to shrink slightly. I sealed it with acrylic and dabbed over it. Now it’s fine. Otherwise, we haven’t had any cracks in our wall surfaces. Karsten

We have developed many cracks after 4 years. Plaster cracks, settlement cracks.
Above the windows, just above the skirting board... 🙁
We had them repaired/fill in, now everything needs to be painted.

Unimportant rooms like storage or pantry in Q3 is a bit extravagant, isn’t it?
