Hello everyone
I am currently trying to familiarize myself with the topic of house construction and keep coming across some confusing questions. For example:
I have a building specification that states all living rooms will have fine plaster (quality Q2 cement-lime or gypsum plaster) applied to the walls. Nowadays, it is common to use plaster instead of wallpaper on walls. Would this type of plaster be suitable for that purpose, or does it require additional treatment, such as a different kind of plaster? Or does it definitely need to be painted or wallpapered afterward (the walls are intended to be white anyway)?
If a different type of plaster is needed, can it be applied directly, or does the fine plaster always have to be used as a kind of base coat?

Spotlighting from above
You can clearly see the smoothed repairs here.
This was not planned, but it’s what happens when you do everything yourself at the end. However, we have a slight industrial touch in the house, so it fits in. We have now been living in our house for almost 4 years, and there are more important things than worrying about this. I’m sharing this just to help those who might struggle to combine a modern lifestyle with being overly particular [emoji2].
