we are trying to decide whether to use a two-coat lime plaster for the interior walls or a lime-gypsum plaster.
We requested both in the bids, and the two-coat lime plaster is about 4,000 to 4,500 EUR more expensive than the lime-gypsum plaster for roughly 470m² (5,060 sq ft).
Now the question is whether anyone has experience with lime plaster, or both types? Is the indoor climate noticeably better?
We will also install a central ventilation system, which already helps reduce the risk of mold.
Additionally, we plan to wallpaper some walls (living room). Does that reduce the effect of the lime plaster?
Hopefully someone can help us decide if the extra cost is worth it for us.
Regards

The question has been asked here several times in one form or another. @wpic has already shared some interesting technical contributions on this topic.
I can explain the difference between lime-cement and gypsum in construction (we are using lime-cement, acquaintances use gypsum). The construction with gypsum plaster felt much heavier and seemed a bit more humid. Lime-cement, on the other hand, tends to develop small cracks at material transitions (despite reinforcement mesh) – we didn’t see this with our acquaintances, but it’s not a major issue.
I don’t think it will significantly affect the room climate later on; lime-cement is probably more durable.
