Rumbi441Hello,
In the new condominium, there is still relatively free choice regarding plaster and wall paint.
On the internet, you often read that lime plaster and lime paint are the more ecological options. However, since the developer wants a price equivalent to that of a new car according to the offer, I’m naturally wondering if it makes sense.
The problem is: this is a new build. Energy Saving Regulation 2014 with heat recovery system. Unfortunately, we have a slight history of mold-related issues... including needing to change wallpapers. Our current apartment is a renovated building from the 1960s. Despite ventilating multiple times, there is a cold spot on an external wall where moisture always accumulates, as well as at the window edge.
Since in the new apartment we will also be cooking, showering, washing, and drying clothes inside, we are naturally concerned that too much moisture in the air will lead to mold growth with standard plaster as well...
So, what to do? Use regular plaster and simply apply lime paint on top? Or rely on the heat recovery system to transport all the moisture away?
The bathroom will be tiled up to the ceiling. The ceiling will be covered with either wallpaper with a raised pattern or painter’s fleece with lime paint.
Please help. Thank you.

What is a heat recovery system? He probably means a controlled mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (controlled ventilation with heat recovery).

Okay. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any information about this so far. At the moment, I can only say that after showering, cooking, or washing, humidity levels reach 70-90%. As mentioned, this will be a new build with insulation and triple glazing.
