Hello everyone,
We have received a quote from a painter for our new build.
All walls and ceilings are covered with drywall panels.
The painter will apply joint compound and sand the walls and ceilings to a level 3 finish (Q3).
Then, they will prime with a deep-penetrating primer.
After that, the surfaces will be painted with a high-quality silicate paint mixed with quartz sand to create a fine-grained textured finish. Some individual walls will be covered with patterned wallpaper.
Our painter recommends applying a painter’s fleece before painting to create a more durable and higher-quality base. This should also help prevent cracks from the drywall substrate from easily showing through.
In renovation work, this makes it easier to remove paint and/or wallpaper if needed. Since the painter’s fleece would cost about 5,000 - 6,000 euros for the entire house, we are still considering whether to include it. What has your experience been with this?
Thank you!

Fiberglass, like something such as Sto tex, is expensive. 50 meters (164 feet) costs over 100. It is a visible wall covering with texture that still needs to be finished, especially suitable for high-use areas like bathrooms and kitchens. When painted with an acrylic-based paint, it becomes washable like tiles with a damp cloth or sponge. Renovation fleece should be applied aligned with the woodchip wallpaper pattern. Karsten
